Ive owned several image subwoofers. My first was an id12v.3. I couldnt believe the output from a single 12 for the price. Next i bought a Idq12v.3 installed in a sealed box, and the sound quality was superb, but was lacking on the spl. I installed the idq in a 2 cube square port box, and WOW!! what a major difference. It would play lower and louder than ever. Next i upgraded to the IDMAX12v.3d2 same ported box as the IDQ. It is a good deal louder than the idq, sound quality is similar in both. Extremely loud in the right enclosure. Extremely good sq. Before image i've only owned JL audio. I've had jl w3's of every version, and w6's. One of the Idmax easily would play as loud as 2 12 w3's. Now i've changed over to Image subwoofers. Jl is great, but they really don't compare all around performance in my experience. Even the standard IDv.3 would outperform the JL's i've owned pretty easily. Price, sq, and spl.

I bought 2 of these and hooked them up to a US Amps and the are the cleanest subs I've ever heard. I build a MDF/fiberglass sealed enclosure 1.5cuft approximately and they hit every note perfectly. I definitely buy Image Dynamics again. And as always great service from Sonic Electronix

The same day I got the sub installed by the best installers in my area (Cleveland, Ohio) the metal part in the middle of the sub (the part with the logo) broke apart from the sub and was all bent up after playing music for 10 minutes at a volume of 6 (on a scale of 1-10).

I have one of these subs at one ohm in a sealed box on a memphis 16-mc1000d. Sounds pretty good, not as much spl as i had hoped for so i'm building a t-line for it. The sub gets really low in a 1.4 cuft sealed box but i want more spl out of it. the manual says "sealed enclosures recommended for most listeners" its great sq in a sealed box, just not nearly as loud as my old ported rockford t1 although the sq is ten times better.
