IDQ hands down the best sounding sq woofer for the money, IMO...

Those are both great subs. I'd probably go for Hertz. IDs are great also, but not as exotic imo.

It would be realy great if current owner or user of sub can post reviews for the subs,as it makes easier for others to take a call.

Looks like you are comparing 15" Hertz to 12" IDQ. Is that your intention? Not really fair, cause the specs are really different.

It appears Hertz might be happier in sealed enclosure only. Hertz has a tiny xmax = not much low extention output. BL on it is tiny too. The only good thing about it may be that it's sensitive, but so is IDQ.

I would take IDQ, but it would still be a bad choice if in the future you decided to get a bigger amp for it, as it doesn't like too much power. The design is amazing for sound quality, but is kinda old technology, and if you push it hard, it will not be happy. So it seems, you are going strictly for SQ. If that's the case, IDQ is hard to beat.
