I am thinking of buying a JL 10W6v2 and mounting it in a JL HO box. I have a few questions for you veterans.

I got a price from a local shop of $700 for the sub and box plus taxes...sound about right?

Which box is better for a SQ system, the wedge or bandpass box?

The 10W6v2 is rated for optimum performance at 400 watts but the JL 500-1 is $900 plus taxes. Is this a good price?

If the 500-1 is too much what amp would work well with the 10W6v2?

Thanks for looking. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Dude don't go to Gibby's...please
I know of a much better place if you want JL

And if you want a good 500w mono amp I just might know where to find one [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img]

im sure the 500/1 will work fine for you....im using 2 500/1's to power 2 12w3v2's and its doing the job for me...i paid $600 each for my 500/1's....really depends on where you are...ive seen the 500/1 for $1200 each in alberta

Thats a great combination of sub and amp. I would probably suggest going with the sealed enclosure, rather than a bandpass if you are into sound quality.

As for the prices you listed, it seems a bit expensive. I'm pretty sure you could get a better deal if you shop around a bit. (I think I've gotten too comfortable with ebay pricing though) [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you want SQ go with Sealed or even ported, tuned right. Bandpass is just a flat, sh*tty bass that comes out loud. To make a bandpass box play more tha one frequency you need to spend the cash and buy a Bass Cube or X-over when you could jus tbuy a sealed or build a ported and do it right the first time.

take a look in the for sale section, there is a jl 500/1 and 2 alpine type r's for $750, get both for cheaper then the jl 500/1 you saw for $750
