I have a MRD-M1005 Alpine Class-D mono amp. It puts out 1000W rms @ 2 ohms. I want to hook up a single 10" subwoofer to it. (Mainly going for SQ...I like punchy bass to accent my components up front. I don't like rumbling, loud bass).

I've read good things about the type-x and how it is a good subwoofer for SQ. I can get one for between $200-250. However, before I go ahead and buy it can anyone suggest any other brand of subwoofer that I should consider for my setup? The sub seeds to be high-quality, cost roughly about the same (maybe a little more), and sound needs to be oriented more towards SQ not SPL.

Thanks, guys.

PS - Also getting a sealed enclosure made.

I always forget about the ID woofers. Probably because all the ROE videos of them I've watched don't impress me much. Or the people filming just suck at it :-).

stay with the type X it is just as good as quality as the W7 and half the price u can get 2 type X in sealed for one w7 and type X can handle more power and type X would kill assasin and arsenal in sound quality maybe not in SPL but SQ ya and 1000 watts rms to it would be fine the sub can handle 1500 watts rms even seen it done u just have to work them in before u put that much power in them first. I recomend 2 type X in sealed then u get lots of bass and very good SQ but if u dont like lots of bass stay with 1 in sealed

Er...I wouldn't say the Type-X is just as good as the W7. Not at all. Sure, the Type-X is a good SQL woofer, but the W7 has it all over the Type-X is performance.

That's almost like saying the Type-R is better than the RE SE...It's just not going to happen lol.
