THese subs are the best subs on earth but which is the best ??? In my opinion for the price of the JL 13W7 and the RE i would get 2 ID Max's ... I heared that Image DYnamics can beat JL's sound Quality and SPL aswell .... So what are your sugestions guys ... ?

The JL is soooo overpriced.... ID MAX and the RE are Great.
I like the ID Maxes much better than the W7s for SQ, SPL is very close, but I'd say the W7 would hit a little harder (not by much, probably not even 1 db difference). The ID Max, in my opinion, has much tighter sound quality, the W7 has a little more boomy response and doesn't even compare to the ID Max in midbass transition(one of the best subs out there for midbass transition IMO). Not to mention it's cheaper. RE MT is different altogether, an absolute SPL sub, linearity, distortion, and overall SQ wasn't a concern with these subs, pure SPL was. An RE X.X.X. is more comparable to the W7 and ID Max, and also a fantastic sub that you shouldn't overlook.
So if you would compare the ID Max and RE X.X.X what would you choose for a Clean Loud System ?? I guess the X.X.X is louder than the ID Max but for SQ the ID Max will beat the X.X.X .... And the ID Max takes less power than the X.X.X to work well... So if i choose an ID Max i would spend less on it aswell to amplify it ... Is that correct ?
Actually, the X.X.X. works better with less power. Power rating is thermal, the enclosure is what determines how much power you'll need. RE X.X.X. sealed or ported typically needs something in the range of 600-1000W RMS. SQ is subjective, the RE X.X.X. has a little better very low bass capability, while the ID Max has better midbass transition. Of course, this is my opinion and yours may be different. The X.X.X. has more SPL. I use an ID Max, but if I ever did it over again, I'd probably do the X.X.X.
Cool so the RE X.X.X would be a good choice if i would install it in a 2.4cu ft ported box tuned at 28hz ... What's the best enclosure including the frequency if your going to use it both for SPL and both for daily use.... ??
DD makes awesome, absolutely awesome subs, i would rate their 9900 series better than w7's, idmaxs and X.X.x's
their 9917 is a 17" subwoofer than can move something close to 40mm 1 way and wel all know the DD 9500 series too well and they can easily compare and possibly outperform the w7's, idmaxs and RE's subs
the 9917 is like a MT melded together with a w7 is all i could really describe it as...
absolutely unheard of SPL and awesome SQ even in the 150-160 range dB
DD does make a wicked sub The 9500 series is the most comparable to the ID Max and X.X.X. The 9900 series would rip you apart, especially the 9917. Not too sure on cost, though.
