Of these three subs which would you choose and why:
1. Image Dynamics 10 V.3
2. Soundstream EXACT10
3. Boston Acoustics Pro 10.5LF
JL 1000/1 will be amp, want to run 4 10's.

ID10's all the way. Just did an install of 2 of them in the back of a jeep wrangler with 400 wrms to each and they sound extremely sweet. Those swayed me to buy IDMax's for my car.

I got one v.3 and blew it after 15mins yesterday with a jbl 600.1 amp...like frntman said I guess i didnt break it in but Ive never had a sub blow after a few minutes of pouding..so take it for what its worth.

I like the Boston's. They handle lots of power and I've always heard great things about them.

My Boston Pro 12.5LF rocks and is more bass than I "need". Very good sound quality and can handle power without getting muddy or creating noise. My wife had the 10.5LF in her Blazer until she sold the vehicle and loved the sound (she's a musician and a vocalist so I worked on the system to balance over the whole spectrum musically, so the single sub was not a bass machine by any stretch).
Based on the amp, I think you'd be on spec with four of them. They come in both 2 and 4ohm single-voice coil versions, so you can match impedance to your amp. You would definately be able to set off car alarms a block away and sound good doing so.
You may want to look at the recommended enclosure sizes for each sub as well, which seems to be a greater factor in our cars. The best sub in the world in an incompatible closure will sound like sh!t...
Good luck n good vibes :)
