As far as sq... I would rate them 2 1 3 and the x.x.x will beat them in spl... type x will prob be pretty close to the JL in spl... all are great subs.
I own the 12w6v2 and it has amazing sq and good spl blend.
I whould go with the 12w6v2 or the ID MAX 12.
The 12w6v2 is 400rms and the ID MAX 12 is 1000 rms sub but will sound good with even 500 watts rms to it. Both sound great ported from what i understand. The XXX will have more spl and ok SQ compared to these.
ID MAx would probably have a better spl over the w6v2. Since they're all 12's, the ID MAx would have a big advantage with a larger cone area. They use a thinner, taller surround, that increases the usable cone area. An ID MAX 12" actually has 25% more cone area than a 12" Brahma. This more surface area is gonna give it quite an advantage over the w6v2, as well as the fact that the ID MAX is 1000 rms.
some1 wanna give me money so i can test out all these subs and let you know how they sound? lol i want to try 2 12 IDMAX , 2 15 Ti, 2 15 Avalanche, and also the 4 13w6v2s so bad to see what i like best... i can only afford 1 15 ava and im saving for wire upgrades and an amp (jl 1000/1) someday i;ll have 2 of them with 2 subs... yay ...lol

alrite thanks. I knew the type x was probably the worst but wanted to hear some opinions on it. This is for my next system which wont be for awhile but i want to already plan it out. I think I will go with 1 12 IDMAX and if I can get enough money a 1000/1 and then some CDT Components with a 300/2. Well one other thing- how would the IDMAX compare to a Ti. I was thinking the Ti would have a little more spl while the id would have the edge in sq.
yea I agree with Mo, the Ti can be used for everyday as well but an IDMAX should be perfect for what you need and you can prob scoop one up for 250-275 if you hunt around a bit and it sound like your not in a hurry to buy so you should be able to find a great deal
So Alpine had one bad batch, Im sure its happened before at least once wit other quality companies. As for SQ and and SPL I bet there would be hardly any difference IF the other WERE any better.
hey Erik, have u actually heard the alpine type X. I have a 12" type X and a jl 12w6v2. the alpine is pretty good for the money, that is ebay money...it costs a lot less than the w6v2 and has more spl and sounds alot deeper and lower. although the w6v2 does have better sq. but not that much better.
I have heard the type X, and it is inferior to IDMAX in pretty much every way...especially when considering that the one you buy off ebay could be one from the "bad batch"
