Sealed, W7 will have more output and IMO a little less quality then a MAX. Not by much though.

Yep...Team RF subwoofers are probably the only thing I would buy from Rockford Fosgate. SPL fanatics often refer to them as "Shockfords" because they utilize Shocker Audio Signature Extreme (the top-of-the-line of Shocker subwoofers) motors. Team RF woofers are really expensive though and for the money, you can find something that is more streetable.

I have WAY more bass than I need. Very deep and full, very clean and the box is tiny. I have it firing through the factory hole and sealed against the rear deck. If you want obscene bass you can always go for their 13 incher and use their 1000/1 amp to drive it. Can't imagine why you'd ever need more bass than that.

Sounddomain.com is one of the only official IDMAX dealers. If you find a cheaper price anywhere, they can pricematch it. If you want so much bas I suggest 2 x 13W7 in well tuned ported enclosures. That would be enough to not being able sitting in your car at half volume. Make sure your electrical system can hang.

Go to Tweeter and negotiate with them. They are really flexible on pricing these days.
