Audio (jl Sub)

[afoss]

okay so i want like one little sub in my car just to have that kick. but i dont want crap. My brother used to have two 10w7's in his em1 and it sounded badass. I just want to run a jl 8w7 on a phoenix gold qx350/2. any suggestions?

I Have Two 12 W 7's On My Ej1 With A 1000 Watt Amp Nd It Sounds Bad Ass .......if U Want A Little Kick To Ur Sound System I Suggest U Get 10 S

get one 10 inch kicker L7 with a good box and a 1000 watts amp, thats what i have in my car, kicks good enough and it leaves me trunk space.

Personally, id rather have a w6, still loud and a bit cleaner than a w7.

BUT im not much of a pay for the name fan either (JL)

There are plenty of other subs out there that are up to par if not better (SQ WISE, and SPL) than JL audio.

 

[K-N-2-EK]

W7= loud and clean VERY EXPENSIVE
W3=cleaner than a W6 but not as loud
W6=louder than a W3 but not as clean
its always a win win situation with JL stuff...but i sell it all day long i personally love my W3 with a 500/1 JL amp!!

how can i control my subs cuz when i turn it up just a lil i cant hear nuthing but the bass

I would get 1 diamond audio hp12, loud clean and it wont completely rape your wallet.

Makes no sense

you do know that the w6v2 is regarded as one of the best sq subs on the market right?

Personally, i'd stay away from jl..but if u already have the 8w7, keep it..it's a good sub.

if not, u can purchase something better for the money.

Something better for the money, or something as good for less.

well whats a better sub? I want somthing small that wont take up alot of space. I also only want to do 1 sub. I already have a phonix gold qx350/2 that i can bridge to 350rms. and i would like to use that amp to keep the price down.

This amp does 350rms bridged at 4ohm, which is good. BUT you never want to under-power a sub, so here are a few subs i found in that wattage range that will perform excellent with many types of music. (not posted in any order) i would reccomend the jbl, as i own one and can say it hits hard for rap, and performs excellent with double bass for rock, and hits very clean as well.

This diagram shows how you would wire the sub to your amp.

Kicker is good for loud on a budget, My friend had 2 cvr's in his civic with the 750.1 amp, very loud, you could hear him a few blocks away, but thats all it was, loud.

Box is gonna be more important than sub

You CANNOT throw a sub in any ol box and expect great bass

True true.

the box is very important. gotta run certain cubic feet to get the subs full potential. you also gotta decide sealed or ported. look into companies such as mmats pro audio or soundstream even
