you don't need a yellow top, two capacitors, and a bunch of blue lights to run Dual subs. granted it has performance and a bunch of other A/V to run.
when did i knock on JL? I said they're average, which they are. overprice too, IMO. I never said they weren't good, i said they weren't the best like that other guy said.
on jl's "low" end they are a great value, sure when you start getting to W6's and W7's some people will think rip off, but JL is some of the best stuff i've heard. and not just their subs, their speakers are great as well.
i have owned 2 8w7s and a 13w7, the 8s were decent and the 13 wasn't to bad decent sound quality and it got pretty loud,(both were off a 1000/1) nothing one of my Fi Q's or RE SX's can't compete with, for half the price.About 60% of the car audio industry uses JL Audio subwoofers to compete for the loudest sound and deepest bass produced. And you're saying that they're average?! I truly don't think so. Have you even owned a JL Audio subwoofer or heard one for that matter?
As far as subwoofer diameter goes, I'd tend to look at larger diameter before smaller for that same value reason. If I can get a single 15 for substantially less than a pair of 10s, there is no chance I'd consider the 10s unless the space I had to work with didn't allow a speaker with a 15" dimension.
Unless you wanted to lsiten to music that requiered faster bass, 15's would be no good...
OK, i've had 2 setups in this car so far... both of which included my 500/1 and 300/4 amplifiers by the best car audio company out there, JL Audio.
The first setup i had was a 12w6v2 in their HO Box. Man, that thing hit so hard, but was a little slower then I liked, so I sold it, and bought the 3 10w1v2s. Almost as loud when I wanted, but hit way faster, songs that I thought sounded like crap in a "system" sounded phenomanal.
I listen to alot of ska, chrisitan contemporary pop, gospel, and (i hate it but the wife loves it) country. The amp is absolutely the best amp I've ever had, but I want to downsize...
Anyone who says JL Audio is a ripoff, or bad value, i guess it depends on what it is you're describing as value. When I look at a amp that says 1000Watts, and then figure that I have to wire it a certain way, and thats max, and rms is way less, and yada yada yada, that sucks! The Jl Audio 500/1 puts down 500 watts not matter how you wire it, and doesnt put out any more, or any less. Its always at 500 watts, I like getting exactly what I am paying for, thats value!
As for their w6 and w7 subwoofers, they arent expensive, considering I seen 3 of their 13 inch w7s and a 1000/1 amp blow the windows out of a honda accord. The box was in the trunk, and every window was gone in less then 3 seconds. If you want power, you gotta pay.
Go JL Audio, you will never regret it!
Ok here we go.
#1 the reason your w1's sounded better than the w6's is becuase it takes far less power to drive a W1 than it does to power a W6. Your using the same amp same power and thats not enough for the w6's so thats why the W1's sound better.
As far as 500watts soo all the time? Even when the subs arn't playing? wierd you should get that looked at.
All the windows on an accord blew out? BS its impossible as soon as a seal rips air pressure escapes there. All the windows will not blow out. 1 maybe but with 1000watts no way.
Best bang for the buck amp wise. Nine.1 $300 1200 watts rms.
You sir are speaking in a forum where you have no Idea what you are talking about. I don't go on the Bible forums and tell them how it happened soo I suggest before you come in here and fabricate lie's or whatever you realize where you are speaking.
I will ban people for misinformation like you posted above. Understand?
Unless you wanted to lsiten to music that requiered faster bass, 15's would be no good...
