600 watts mono @ 4 ohms - what to do, so many choices!
My two ideas were one 12" Dayton DVC in a ported box or one 12" Blue print in a ported box.
One other idea I had was to build a isobaric box for the 2 IDQ 12's I have.
I don't care what kind, or how many drivers I use. I don't care what kind of box - I just need a really small enclosure 2 cuft max that will be high SPL/SQ.

Trust me all you would need is 1 kicker solo square in a sealed box with a good amp and it will pound better than the others you suggested.

 Not a bad woofer for $100.00, Dual two ohm coils (so you can acheive 4 ohm mono and allow it to get 600 watts) T/S Parameters (coil in Series): Fs: 35.36 Hz Qms: 5.6875 Vas:37.475 Liters Cms: 135 um/N Mms: 150 g Rms:12.92 lb/s Xmax: 17 mm Sd: 442 sq. cm Vd: 0.751 liters Qes: 0.828 Re: 3.0625 ohms Le: 2.6875 mH Z: 4 BL: 11.1 Tm Qts: 0.723 1-W spl 85.05 2.8-V spl 89.22 Power Handling is 500 watts rms per coil,

For $99 the 12" DVC is tough to beat. Knu's is very good as well, but the Fs is a little higher than what I like (my 8" has a lower Fs, Bill!). The Dayton is a little more efficient than Bill's driver. The Blueprint 1203 is nice too, but I don't think worth twice as much as a a Dayton.
Why did you want a ported enclosure? Unless you are competeing where you want the extra 3-4dB or you are working with underspec'd driver, I recommend a sealed box. They are smaller, cheaper, and easier to build.
You isobaric design sounds interesting as well. I think the only advantage to that design is that you cut the size of the enclosure down in half.
As for the Kicker, it would be enough, but I believe Dave ran the simulations on it and compared to a Shiva and some other lesser known drivers. It was unimpressive considering the price.

Jerry :rolleyes: :rolleyes: That is the best response I could come up with. Do tell, why the solobaric will "pound" better?

Bill's woofer is a good choice, but needs to go in a ported enclosure for the best sound. Since it doesn't matter what kind of box, that doesn't really matter.
Is this for home or car?

Finally pulled the trigger and bought a second car - 1999 Saab convertible. While I love the SPL/SQ of my current setup, I realized I have to work in the confines of a small trunk. I also wonder how it will sound with the top down (will I loose much volume?).
A ported box seams like the best way to maximize effieciency. Do you guys think a single Dayton w/ 600 watts can match the output of two IDQ's sharing 400 watts?

What sub is Knu showing? The baskest looks identical to the basket on my PL except mine is black. Is that a Lambda sub?

Nope, but the basket is made by the same manufacturer. His sub is made by TC Sounds. I don't know who the basket supplier is though.
