shops in toronto (etobicoke) where i can listen to some subs?

ive been researching and i figured the only way to fully decide what to get is to listen and i dont know of any shops where i can test out some subs. im looking for an sql sub. more on the sq side but at the same time i want to be able to crank it and get that punchy body rattling bass too and still albe to have clarity. looking for a single 15'. 'so far i got these in mind

- idmax
- fi q
- re xxx (are the new models really that bad?)
- jl w7
- jbl wgti
- alpine type x
- lms ultra (probably never find it)
- dd (3500?)

no such thing as a 15" idmax or type x

lms you probably wont find unless one of the guys on the forum has one for you to listen to. you can hear w7's anywhere and xxx's are 2000rms subs that are hungry for alott more power than most of the subs listed.

Fi Q would be my pick. Make sure you get it with the BP option and flatwound coil. It'll take 1500rms daily with those options.

3.5 cubic feet @ 33hz for perfect SQL

I just bought an amp off a great seller who has a 15" jbl gti in-box for sale. Very ggod price and gently used. Very good guy and a veteran in the industry. Contact me for details, he lives and works in Mississauga.

im kind of leaning towards the wgti, and w7. only because i dont want so much weight in the car, does anyone know how much a single idmax sub weighs and if the spl gets up there at all? how much do u guys think it would cost to get the fi q with those options stated above shipped to toronto? and other than the price of the w7 is it a pretty good sub cause i hear it is then i hear alot of haters hatin. i hear the wgti sounds real nice but does it have a good amount of spl or does it lack alot of it

Increased power handling.

They have made it a free option on the website now, which is cool cause it used to be a $20 add on.
