I'm adding a 12" sub for my DD, i'm after nice low, soft bass although i listen to alot of metal and alt. Which one out of these 3 would u guys recommend: JL 12 W04, Alpine Type-R or Polk Momo MM-120. They're all 12 inchers. It's gonna go in a ported, with a kicker 400 watts. JL's popular with the majority..dunno bout their lower end models tho.. Heard good things about the type-r.. Anyone has experience with the Polk Momo? Thanks guys.
I have Polk for home - tops no doubt. I just purchased JL 12 W3 DVC ..Holy Cow!! I replaced a RFosgate HE. This JL hits MUCH harder, and also has much more range. I played the same Led Zeppelin song (fool in the rain) and I heard so much more than ever before . I paid 200.00 for the sub.
I personally don't like the w0's. Is the type R the new one? and I haven't heard the Polk. I would go with the type R though... espetially if it is the new R.
Polk has good SQ, The new Type-R would work very well, the W0 is a good lower line sub, but thats what it is a lower line sub. try to listen to them if you can. My vote is the type-R if its the new model, if not then its a toss up.
i have the new type r freaking amazing but if i were u id put it in a sealed box better for rock

whats the difference between the old and new type-r? Higher RMS? or newer tech? Gonna go ported just to see what Korn would sound like..heheh If things dont work out prolly go to sealed.
My buddy has a 10" POlk Momo, in a ported box with a MTX on it, and it hits amazingly hard and crisp. If you don't plan on getting the 05 Type R, I would grab the Polk.
