IDQ is an excellent sounding sub, I didn't notice anything wrong with it when I heard it. I have neber heard the IDMAX so I cannot tell you about that one. The W6 is also another very good sub that has good SQ but a bit pricey, however it's competitor the Eclipse SW6010 is a much better sounding sub IMO and cost alot less.

Not sure what size you are dealing with, but I own an IDQ v3 10" and I've owned the 12w6v2. Between the two, I clearly preferred the 12w6v2. However, it needs a sealed enclosure, and I wanted to be free-air--so the ID sub is better for that.
I personally think the IDQ sounds better than the IDMax, but the max kills it in output.
Not knowing what type music you listen to, nor what power or enclosure type you are looking for, I would go in the following order:
1. JL w6
2. IDQ
3. ID Max
All are fairly readily available, so I would go find them and listen.

Not even a diffucult choice. Go with the ID. The JL is a decent sub if you just want something to beat on and don't mind paying extra for something that has been marketed very well to the public, but if you are looking for a real good sounding sub with amazing output from a small box, go with the ID. Either the IDQ or IDMAX. You can run either of these in a 12" in only .9 cubic feet. If you want some real serious output, you can go clear up to 2.5 ft. and port them. I know there are a lot of manufacturers out there claiming small sealed boxes with great performance, but I can speak from real experience that the ID's actually to work well in smaller enclosures. Go with the ID. You won't be sorry.

I have had all three and they are all different beasts. It is all in what you are looking for. But I agree with Andy's ranking for my personal use. My Wife's truck has a 10W6 in it and I have been VERY happy with it. That little puppy pounds her to happiness. :-)

All 3 subs are good subs. You can't go wrong with any of them.

I think Andy (Foam) said enough, and from personal experience. if you want more detailed descriptions of each, look for reviews.

i have done tons and tons of research and read hundreds of reviews......this particular thread seems to be especially useful since more than one person in here has direct experience with the subs in question (specifically the IDQ vs the w6v2). The vast majority of threads/reviews i've read are bias. Not everybody has had experience with both subs....they only can share an experience in regards to "i have this sub....i like it....you should get it".
The "elaborate a bit" was in reference to expanding upon "i clearly preferred the w6v2". Because it sound cleaner? Because it was louder? Because it hit lower lows? Because it stayed punchy? etc....What about it did you prefer?
Believe me, because this is my first post in the forum does NOT mean that i have not done extensive research on the subject. I just thought that the posters in this thread would have additional insight.
