Also... an "SQ" system has a helluva a lot more to do with the front stage, processing and deadening than the sub.

I have to agree with that !

Last thing I would worry about in an sq system is the subwoofer. A crapload more work goes into the front stage..

If SQ is truly your goal, the Aura subs with underhung motors have less distortion than almost anything else you can buy.... The just cost almost $1000 for 15" The NRT 18 is a prosound woofer, but if you had room for an 8ft3 box, that would probably give you more low distortion bass with only a few hundred watts than you could get anywhere... Again, for about $1000 a pop....

05' and earlier XXX subs (no longer made)

Adire Brahma (no longer made)

Those would be my top 3 picks of anything at any price, if SQ was truly the only goal.

Depends what you plan on cash-in':

Best SQ would be those ones:

Aura Sound NRT (believe it would make a nice home theater sub, rumbling is excellent, no more, no less)

Focal Utopia Be 33WX2 (more efficient than most 12s which is a +)

Dynaudio Esotar

As far as I know, sound quality refers to accurate reproduction of the WHOLE spectrum. Hhaving a good sounding sub + amp combo, a good head unit and stock front speakers doesn't mean you have an "SQ setup".

Since you are starting with subs, I severely doubt that an SQ system is what you want. If it was that would be the LAST thing you were worried about.

how are MB Quart as far as SQ goes, compared to these other subs?

Did you have a specific model in mind?
