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.

^ wow I've had the good fortune to put all for of those subs in 4 different cars the last 2 days. This was the first time I could even remotely consider comparing them so closely.

Granted being in different cars on different amps affect things, but sonically I thought of all of them the IDQ's sounded the best. and to be honest it wasn't even close.

BUt what I listen for and what the OP might be looking for are likely very different. To them I ask, what are you looking for in your substage?

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. :-)
