jl 8w7 vs. focal 21wx (8'' SQ subwoofers)
Hi all. Great forum. I am new here.
Just need your exprience in choosing between two great SQ subwoofers, the jl 8w7 and focal beryllium 21wx. The rest of the system is Clarion HX-D1 headunit, Polk Audio sr5250 components and Audison vrx4.300 amplifier. My aim is a SQ system-minimal and accurate. SPL is not a priority, but not undesirable. All opinions welcome thanks |
For SQ - Focal. For SPL JL, but there won't be much SPL out of 8".

Wow. 8w7 vs. 21Wx..... Definately can't compare the two. I've done a couple systems with the 8W7's and they sound okay, still a little muddy for an 8" and the recommended enclosure size is still a bit big.
If you're into SQ definately suggest the Utopia. Even the 27KX sounds very good and accurate. |
Thanks for the feedback guys. What other suggestions would you have for a pair of 8'' sq subs? Image dynamics, Boston pro etc. 21wx very expensive! Just looking for something musical, small sealed enclosure, decent extension and loudness.
thanks |
Check out user Ross for CDT. Product is excellent and his prices cannot be beat. He also from Canada, so shipping is local.

MTX 5508
It's a great woofer. :thumbsup: |
21wx very expensive!
this i knew but had not looked into how expensive! |
Comparing Focal Be stuff to JL is like comparing a diamond to a pile of . And if you think that woofer's expensive, check out the three way passive component setup :smokin:
If you're looking SQ and still have an eye on the Focal, check out the 21V1 in the polyglass line. Still a great sounding sub, tighter than the JL by far. |
I suggest the DD 1508 for spl as well as SQ
we do them all the time down firring in custom center consols in trucks, they sound very nice, but they do want power! |
Focal and run it in a ported enclosure and you got a great match for an amazing system
I've worked with Cman for a while and both of us agree by experience |
