2X JL W3 or 1 W6
I'm trying to figure this thing out. I've got 2 12" W3's new version in a sealed box and for SQ i'm happy. Sealed box 20% larger than manufacturer's recomended. The thing is i'm not happy with the frq response these subs provide. Not too much low bass. I could go ported i know. The amp is a Kicker 650.1 digital amp pushing 720 RMS subs need 300 each
If i were to get a 12W6 and use a same size box and same amp would i be getting more bass out it ? Or a 10W7 with the same box ?
Just thinking that even though the W6 is only 400 RMS having a larger box for one sub and feeding 700+ RMS would create more bass perhaps ....

can't comment on a w6, but as far as 10w7 goes, this thing surprisingly slams on 600w amp. I think it's even a bit too much low end for sq purposes, but it may be that the test box of 1.5 i have now is a bit too big for it.

w3
as far as w6's go it's only 100 wats more so i'm also questioning what it could do versus 2 W3's and the other thing is that my amp is a digital one so it's pretty flexible in terms of what i can do with it if i had a W7 ...

the W6 is the least "aggresive" sub out of that lineup, but the best SQ JL Audio sub IMO. if u want output go W7 (it will still sound good doing it), if u want SQ go W6, but your current setup is pretty good as far as a mix of SPL and SQ for JL Audio anyhow. You may want to look at different brands.

w6
i might just get 2 w6 subs than because i'd like to ride the jl line for now but of course i will move on
i am a wonderer so i will try us many different products as i can
next would ve CDT subs as i am very curious about SQ and CDT

If you want more lowend extension, the 10W7 will definitely do the job.

please empty your PM box as i cannot send you a response. In light of that here it is.
The box was .75cu/ft which is within spec for the JL driver. I was using my kicker 1200.1 on the sub and it was seeing 600w however I have my gains all the way down on the sub and do not push it. I just use it for a little fill for my music not boomy bass as thats not what i listen to. if you want to through it in your car and test it on an amp you are more than welcome to. I will guarentee it not to be DOA as it was in my daily driver till the day I took it out.
