Im thinking i should get 2 12w3v2's in the prowedge box instead and push it off my jl 500/1 and that should hit hard loud low and clean...

ya those will sound pretty good too the w6v2 would have a little better sound quality but the 2 w3v2 would be louder than 1 w6v2. if you have the 500/1 the w3v2 will work well as well as the 13w6v2 which will be a little deeper then the w3v2's.

Anonymous / im pushing 2 12w6v2's right now off my crossfire vr1000d and its wired at 1 ohm so im sending about 500 watts rms to each sub and they sound great with this much power.

I also own a jl 500/1 and am gonna be doing the same setup as you.

2 12w3v2's in prowedge box off my 500/1

This should be a very efficiant setup and cause less stress on your electrical system and get loud and sound great with anything you throw at it.

I will make a updated post once everything is set next week.

Yeah run those subs to 8ohm, then back down to 4 for that 500/1, Amp is 1.5 stable and not 1

final impedance of 2 12w3v2's will be 4 ohm which is perfect for the jl 500/1

My crossfire amp is stable down to 1 ohm so it works out perfect if you wire your 12w6v2's in parallel to achieve the 1 ohm load.

I'd take IDQs over W3v2s personally. Excellent sound quality, similar SPL and price.

Jonathan / why do you like the IDQ 12's over the JL 12w3v2's ?

Also my jl dealer around my way is trying to sell me 2 12w3v2 prowedge sealed setup for $575 plus tax. Do you think i should go for it or get 2 IDQ's and have a box built for them ?

sealed or ported on both subs ?

Looking for mostly SQ here for a daily driver but whould like good amount of musical SPL for rap.

cardomain has them for $199.95 each which whould come up to $399.90 and then discount $36.00 for additional savings which brings the total to $363.90 and that whould leave me with aprox $212 dollars for a box and i know i can get one for way less then that.

I whould be saving roughly $100 if i go with 2 Image Dynamics IDQ12 D4

instead of the 2 JL 12w3v2's in the prowedge from my local dealer for $575.

Both whould be authorized dealers

Lastly they whould be both pushed my the JL 500/1 so im kinda leaning toward the 12w3v2's to match them up better unless the IDQ's whould sound better of this amp.
