HE2 or JL W3?

What would offer more bass and better all around performance, a Ropckford HE2, or a JL W3? And how to the W3s compare to the W0s? And the HE2s to the HEs?

Everybody has their own opinion, but I wouldn't even think twice about buying the JL W3's. They make good bass and are extremely clean. They're easily one of the best subs on the market.

Will one 10 inch or 12 inch JL W3 give me enough bass to feel in my chest? I don't have too much experience listining to systems, so I don't know if it would be enough bass for me. I just want to beable to feel it. Would it work with one W3 ten and a kicker ZR 240 amp? Would this be a good setup?

I've got a pair of HE2s. They pound like hell but they sound like hell too. I've got to build a ported box to see if that helps, but I would definately take the W3s.
