mine were cheap. i have MTX 12 inch subs. they came as a package deal with an amp that sucked so i gt rid of it. I have a pioneer amp now. Uhhhh yeah so they sound decent but once u get some u always want louder and stronger so i would save as much money as possible, also dont forget wires and amps make all the difference

What do you need to know?
I've got a 12" MTX ported subwoofer with a 1000W amp.

I have a alpine type R 12"...it's been great,as for amps get Cadence.Not only are they reasonably priced...but also good quality! Trust me,I've been around Audio forums and all they ever talk about is cadence.I'll be purchasing one pretty soon.

go with the idmax instead...you'll thank me later.
those idq's you posted are dual 4ohm, which can be wired to a 1ohm load. So you need an amp that will do about 1,000 watts at 1ohm mono.
The amp you listed, is a 4 channel amp, will not work very well with a subwoofer. That's an amp you would use on your highs, or on a lower power subwoofer setup, or as a multi ch. configuration (i.e. two channels to the front, rear channels bridged to sub)
I would suggest one of these amps for the idq's, it will push them nicely.

id rather not by the maxs witch i looked at first but price made me not go with them. i was debating with image dynamics and JL audio but i saw reviews on image and thought to give it a try. Got any other picks? I would rather by the subwoofers and amp separate instead of a pre-made box.

idmax is a litte more expensive, but one idmax will be more then enough..you'll love it. get a single 12 and it will throw down in the right box.
fuck jl audio..only decent thing they have going for them is the w6v2, which has nice sq. otherwise fuck em.
pre made box...hell no. You need to build a proper ported enclosure for whatever you get, what kinda car is this going into?

Wow enesi, NICE lookin setup. What do you actually have components, amps, power system, etc? Did you build that wall? I'm sure you've been mic'd, what'd you hit?

talkin about idq or idmax? Difference between a 10 and 12 would probably only be the 12 has more cone area, and has the ability to be slightly louder at certain freq. Just depends really how much room you've got to work with and stuff.
amp i still say sundown..they are very nice.
I would suggest an idmax 12 in a 2.5 cf ported enclosure tuned to around 32-34 hz.

Yep..do all my own work 
Components are DLS amps are orion 2500d's (one for each sub) Power is an excessive amperage 200amp alt, two yellowtops (haven't added the new batts yet, got 6 going in) and lots of 1/0 wire!
hit a 153.2 on the Termlab, down in the passenger kickpanel. Cool thing is, the wall is tuned to around 28hz...so it gets VERY loud at low freq's, lol
