I can't find any place taht has the JBL single GTO1204BP hooked up. So I'm wondering if anyones heard any of these?
Right now I have two Pioneer TS-W255C in a single sealed box. I'm finding that the Pioneers seem to just be making noise not actual bass.
I'm wondering if this

will sound any better for rock/metal music(Marylin Manson, Rob Zombie,AC/DC,etc)
I know what sounds good is alot of personal preferance but like I said I can't find anyone with these and I can't find anything in a search on here so any help is apreciated.

i dont know if its the install the guy did but he had 2 12" JBL GTO in a sealed box and that was just noise lol. i was quite disapointed. ( it sucked monkey ***** big time )

but maybe someone else had a better install and can tell you how it whent.

but also maybe its just your box that is wrong. it would be better to make a new one than to buy new drivers for now

Ya the reason I was thinking JBL since my friend has thier speakers (not subs just speakers) in his altima and they sound really really good. So I figured I MAY give them a chance.

Before spending almost 300 in a store on a product over 2 years old. You should try putting you're subwwofers in a ported enclosure. Have they always just made "noise" or have gotten like that over time? If they got worst over time then yes i would suggest getting something new, and the GTO series bandpass enclosures where a very good product, do not over power them though.

They have always made SOME amount of just noise but I just cracked it up to not having a filter to get rid of high frequencys and having to run it off of the "REAR" RCAs. But latley it's been getting worse.
But now I'm really torn since I do love my Pioneer products (I need front speakers as well so what ever I go with for subs I will match the brand up front)but I know that the JBL will sound better and I know that with that loaded enclosure the box is perfect for the sub.

Well I think I'm going to try my subs in a ported box. I'm thinking it may just be my amp that's going since it is really old one taht I got from a friend and I know it has been abused in the past.
Now I have a question about my subs and getting a new amp. My subs are rated 50-350watts RMS and the amp I'm looking at to power both my subs is a mono block that makes 400 watts RMS at 2 ohms.
How would I set that up so that it's safe for the amp since the subs would still want 300 watts right?
Sorry for all the questions but thats how you learn right.

put a decent 500 rms @2ohm amp on them and you will be good.

350 rms for one is what the're rated for
and thanks for the help.
