JL Audio 10's or 12's
JL Audio 10's or 12's
Hey guys, i want to run a set of subs in the rear hatch off of a JL audio 500/1 amp or something similar and run either 2 w3's 12's or w0 12's. What do you guys think would be the best hitting and sounding sub b/c the price diff is only like 20 bucks.? I also am running a set of eclipse 4x6's in the front and Jl x9's in the back, The head unit is a pioneer 4300 series and it has a pre out for the sub if that stuff makes a dif. Thanks!

if u dont like forkin out 20 bucks more get the 12s but the 10s hit plenty hard unless u r in a spl contest or something. i dont know. i am orderin my alpine typer rs next monday after i cash my check. i would look at the alpines as well.
Well thanks guys but just bough 2 12" jl w0's and ran them of Jl's 250/1 mono amp and i must say, they are really descent!
Yhey are as loud as i need them to go and they sound just perfect to me lol. I also built my own box so it saved me money there. When i get pix i'll post them.

My roomate had three 10s in his mustang, then swapped them our for two 12s, and the 12's hit a LOT harder. So if I were you, I'd either get two 10s for lots of bump, or one 12 for a little less bump. I have one 12 and it's plenty since I listen to rock, alternative, etc.
