I'd say the new JL Audio 13W6.v2 and a 500/1 = $800ish for both

IDMAX (350 shipped)
USamps 600 (aprox 500)
or
JBL 1200 (250)

850 .or 600..and u have one of the best subwoofers ever made, and u have good clean reputable power either way.

And it will sound much better than the JL stuff mentioned above...
You also get bragging rights that u have IDMAX...

If you really want JL audio, stick to the W7 only.

Why go with JL audio?, when u can get the best for less than 1000

http://speedsound.com/

call and ask to speak to Normad,

tell him AMIR sent u, i've spent a good amount of money with him, so he will treat u good..

tell him u want the IDMAX shipped for 350 like me, or if ya wanna get brave, ask for 330....

dont pay more than 350 shipped though.

he also has VERY good prices on USamps, and i believe they have a sale on those right now...

the JBL 1200 i believe the price was 259....from a reliable online store too..i have to research that one for u...i'l post the link tomorrow...

Again, i would go with the USamps, simple because of the name, the sale price, and their built like tanks, and they looks pimp in chrome...also AMAZING customer service...

The IDMAX is a very high end subwoofers...mating that sub with a JBL product is akward to me.

also make sure you get Version 3 IDMAX...its the latest version, supposed to be more efficient and a few other advantages over V2.

also depending on amp you choose make sure you choose the right IDMAX sub, either D2 or D4...u can discuss all this stuff with normad, he is very friendly.

IMO, for a sub amp on a budget I would take that JBL over that USamp 600 in a heartbeat. Double the power for half the price?? If you are gonna go with that IDmax, get the DVC4ohm load that JBL down to 2 ohms and I am pretty sure you will be happy with the sound. And in all honesty the MTX amplifiers are pretty well built too. The 81000d would power that IDmax very nicely at a reasonable price.

what does the rest of your system consist of?
