    Default Looking for recommendation on sub to pair with mcintosh amp

    Im adding an aftermarket sub to my stock Bose system on a Maz QP. Im looking at purchasing (1) 10"-12" subwoofer to pair with my amp. Im looking more for an SQ sub with deep base and good flex. I currently have a McInosh MCC301M, it pushes 300 @ 4ohm and 600 @ 2ohm. The reason I am going with the McInosh amp is because when you use a LOC (line output converter) you get a lot of distortion. I hope that by having an already low distoration amp of 0.005% I get the best sound quality possible.

    I have a friend who runs 2 10" boston acoustics and i think they sound pretty nice

    Im sorry but Focal is not that great of a speaker. Everyone praises them and I have used them numerous times and still not as impressed as I am with the Mille or the Thesis speakers.

    I have some Rainbow Vanadiums in my lex, and those are great.

    Its a toss up between either the Hertz mille, Diamond D6, or Diyma. What do yall think about the Diamond and Diyma subs?
