For the past 3 or 4 years I've been loyal to JL. I have 3 10" W6V2's.. However, I don't feel like getting into the seat lift kit.. so I'm thinking of selling the JL W6's and getting something else..

Anything you guys recommend?? Looking for a clean, tight, but strong bass.. And something that will work in one of the aftermarket boxes..

 

In my opinion, the best subs you can get for a premade box is, Image Dynamics Idq, Arc Audio, Boston Pro 10.5, Elemental Designs 11Kv.2 and Adire Audio Koda.

 

I'm assuming Boston Pro's are buy Boston Acoustics?

I'm thinking about going with Boston Acoustic door replacements.. are their subs any good?

 

Since your a JL fan what about some W1V2's. Fairly shallow depth, have good SQ and still have some decent bump.

You really need to find a box you like though first, then see how much mounting depth you have and how much airspace, then go from there. You will be dissapointed when you find a sub you like, only to find out it wont fit in any prefab box.

 

Soundsplinter will be a good choice. They do well in the small sealed enclosure that are consistent with all the aftermarket boxes.

Ditto For SS rl-i, low power requirements and high xmax, mmmmmmm I would agree with the JL, but he is going from a w6v2 to a w1v2, i think he might be dissapointed.

 

Good luck fittin an Rl-i in an aftermarket under seat box.


Unless there is more room under those seats than the older F150's.

 

You can always dream.

 

Audiobahn, Kicker, Diamond Audio, JL Audio, Alpine (Type-R's only) are all great subs.

 

Are you looking for something in a certian power range, or anything that will fit?

 

Ya the new Type R subs are supposed to be a great improvement but need about 500 watts, and i really wouldnt get into kicker and audiobahn for small sealed enclosures, since i cant think of any ported pre fab boxes for under the seat. If you want a SQ driver that is unique look at this one http://yellow.mynethost.com/~bv12636...e4d64292872377 , reminds me of old ED flatcones.

 

SOme people have been feeding there type-rs 1300. Crazy huh?

 

take audiobahn outta there...don't be fooled by the flames and chrome

the quality is HORRIBLE

 

Thanks for the help guys..

Not sure what I want.. but I think you are right GA FOO.. I know I would be disappointed.. I went from a W2 to my W6's.. I could never go backwards..

 

Youll probably have to go backwards no matter what. Its gonna be hard to find something that is equal or better than a w6 and still fits in an underseat box.
