d4, d6. it wouldn't matter. it'll be 250w/sub at 1.5-4ohms anyway.
there are numerous subs to consider. what's the $ range?

i am more a fan of the adire shivas in that price range (less $ and better reproduction). but i owned three of the w3, and i loved them. loud and nice. just not quite the superb (and i'm really picky) sq that i was after. also, the subs were picky as well as to the types of music they "liked" to reproduce. but these were the v1 series. great subs though. i would still get the shivas if adire ever releases them.
also consider the idq from image dynamics.

Go with a 10w7 in the HO BOX and you will be happy. Trust me / With the 500/1, that is a great match and im telling you this based on experience with JL setups.

if you use dual 4 you need to run them to a 4ohm load.

what you shoudl really do is get a 13w6v2 that would be a great choice. it would be deep and have great sound quality.

i have a jlaudio 500/1 but i dont really know anything about subs. i want two subs so i should probably be looking at subs with 200-250 wats each right? what is the peak and would it matter? i already have an inclosure with 2 sub ports. what is free space usage.
would two "Image Dynamics ID12 v.3 D2" be alright? this is the page i am looking at it on. http://www.cardomain.com/item/IDSID12V3D2 thanks

those are the ones im thinking about getting the most. im asuming two subs that add up to 400-500 rms recomended would be the best? im not sure what the difference between 2 or 4 ohms is so im also asuming they are both fine.
