Eclipse 12" SW8200 vs. 12W6v2- repeat
HI. Ok i know there was an exact thread like that, but the answer wasn't really there... so I want to ask again, which one is better? I have the exact same conditions as the original post. 1.2cuft sealed I have (I can built any box tho so that's not a problem). I am going to use 500/1 to power it. I want to get SQ but also a SPL on decent level- from about 60HZ to the lowest possible. The problem with Eclipse is I cant find it anywhere.... any source you guys are familiar with?

Not sure about the Eclipse as I've never heard one but I've got 3 12W6v2's and love them. 
The 500/1 is perfect for one and they get good and low. The subs Fs is 25hz and the 1.2 cu sealed you have is close enough to perfect.

Ok MR2NR where do you get them preordered from?? I just read yesterday about the amazing xmax of eclipse (1.5") which I thought would be great... I can always get the w6 since you can get them anywhere( remener guys I'm just gonna have 1 sub not 3 LOL ) but the eclipse it's not as easy..
Thanks for the advice

An online store sonic electronics has them.

Fantastic driver. It was designed by the TC sounds engineers and remains virtually distortion free all the way to xmax. For the price, it honestly can't be touched. It measures toe to toe with the w7 only coming up slightly short in SPL in most applications. It works well in sealed applications but 1.2cu will definitely limit extension some. Would work fine though for most mobile applications. I use these drivers in some Home Theater applications and 3cuft sealed with pro-audio amps and xovers and get in room response of 13hz.

Yes, you need to go sealed. A lot depends on the extension you're looking for. Like I said, I use 3ft^3 boxes but they have heavy fill. They model best around 7ft^3. I know thats unreasonable in a car, but so is 14hz for the most part. I'd be looking at the biggest box you can fit, its a very high Qts sub. ...
