I am wanting to get a sub for my truck... I am trying to decide between 3 subs. here they are.

Alpine Type-X - 4ohms - $399.99
sens. - 82db
freq. - 26-200Hz
RMS - 500-1000w
peak - 3000w

Kicker Solo-Baric L7 - 4ohms - $399.99
sens. - 86.8db
freq. - 24-100Hz
RMS - 30-600w
peak - 12000w

JLAudio W6 - 4ohms - $419.99
sens. - 83.7db
freq. - 23-250Hz
RMS - 150-600w
peak - 1200w

ok, my truck is a 2000 XLT 4door.

 

Why not import an Aborigine and have him sit in the back seat with a big drum for your bass?

 

well if your going after SQ then get the jl w6v2. the type x is nice but it is a power hungry sub need to throw atleast 8-1000 rms at it. the L7 is nice i have had a few of them, but they tend to blow spiders and tinsel leads if you dont give then the desired rms. me personally right now for my desires i would go with the jl. but look into elemental designs 13 ov.2 it is a 12 and only a $175 with 5 year warrenty and a good SQ sub. http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...products_id=35 they are the only subs i run in my vehicles from now on.

 

I absolutely love my alpine type r....I dont know too much about the type x though I know jl is great also though

 

alpine is garbage. get a soundstream R1.

 

JLAudio W6 - 4ohms - $419.99
sens. - 83.7db
freq. - 23-250Hz
RMS - 150-600w
peak - 1200w

get that one, just remember its not all about the sub, you have to have a nice amp also.

 

Thanks for all the help guys..

 

its the other way around. and i agree with the it's not all about the sub comment. either sub you go with get a jl 500/1 or alpine pdx 600.1 both a favorite of mine. but also along with that comment you have to remember NICE rcas, and proper tuning on the amp, and proper box built to speaker specs.

 

i would recommend RE. idk if you have heard of them, but the products are outstanding.

 

w7 pwns

 

i would recommend the old RE pre US AMPS buyout. because after that they jacked the prices up more but the new XXX's are SEXXX

 

never had a problem with my l7s....love em...wont sell em for anything

 

I would go with the alpine :)

 

I like my 1-8" audiobahn....

(y'all can stop laughing now...)

For free it wasn't bad at all. I just need to sound deaden a few spots and then add the other one in an I'll keep it that way. Full use of the cargo area and stealth were my biggest selling points. :)

Good luck on what ever you go with, dude!

I've got the JL 10W7 with a 500/1 JL amp. Absolutely love it. Wouldn't trade it for anything else.

 

Thanks Guys..

 

eD 13av.2 is where its at. sql
perfect match for the 9.1
i got the sub for 350 and amp used for 255. plus they have 4awg wire on sale now for like 65 cents a foot, so 20ft was like 26 bux shipped.

I'm running a single W6v2 off of a RF p6001 and it hits hard and clean!

 

Hey everyone, well check this out.. Im thinking bout getting 2 MTX 10''s.. In their thunderform enclosure so that i can keep my space in the cab... Here is a link to the ones im looking at let me know what you think....

oh, whats up with magnet weight....Does it make a difference if the magnet is bigger? these 10's have a 144oz magnet.. Thats pretty big i think...

 

magnets dont really mean much in the performance of a woofer. some brands just like to advertise that they have big magnet because people will believe it makes a difference.

those look pretty decent. i dont think you will have too much low end on those though.

i just tested my friends new audiopulse (tc sounds) 10" woofer on 1200wrms and it didnt hit as low as a bigger driver (12" +) would.

it all depends on what you are looking for though

 

I fell in love with the Kickers from the first time i head them. Those damn leads break though, but if you know how to soldier decently (or know someone who does) they work just fine then. I've got mine with the sub and ports facing upwards on the the back of the box so the waves bounce all over hell and i dont get any noticeable distortion. Supposedly i'm pushing 400 rms to it (according to the amp specs) but i'll bet its only getting about 250 at most, but it bangs nice, loud, and clear.

I haven't heard the W6 or Type X, so i cant really help ya on those

 

Thanks again for all the info and help guys.. I think this is gunna be a choice that i make after hearing all the different systems that the audio place has..
