If your enclosure was built around those JL's you're running right now, a change to different subs (unless by some freaky coincidence they spec the same) will probably result in poorer sound. 1999 SVT #900/2760 Born on 1-20-99 Silver Frost/Midnight Blue A few aesthetic and audio mods

If its a one ohm stabe amp, I suggest a pair of JL audio 12 w3 dual voice coil 2 ohm speakers so when they are run parellel, its at 1 ohm, dropping the load and having more power to your speakers.
