New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-05 | What the difference between getting two 12's to just 1? I dont want so much bass my music doesnt sound good you know? I want to get some subs that people can hear me coming from a distance but also it hits hard and clean andnot distored. |
New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 3 Registered: Apr-05 | Just a side note two what is better 2 12' JL 12w1v2 or 2 2 12'volfenhag? |
Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 256 Registered: Sep-04 | i would say JL just because they are much better quality ... i actually havent heard either.... but all the subs i name wont distort nearly as soon as the subs ur talking about... for your case i would lookin into an atlas 12 at www.ascendantaudio.com its 145 dollars and it has one of the best motors made... it has great SQ and can reach 140 db in a ported enclosure... also you only need about 250-300 watts to make it loud |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2539 Registered: Dec-04 | jl will be way better, but i would suggest spending 350 on a subs, and then 100 on a good install... 80 percent install 20 percent equip, ill build you a new box, and for 350 you could get 2 p3's or 2 w3v2's maybe, maybe even a 12 inch eclipse Ti, YEA get a 12 inch eclipse ti and not the sony amp |
New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 6 Registered: Apr-05 | Alright that sounds like my best bet. 2 12' atlas. What kind of amp should i get that can handle those subs?

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2430 Registered: Dec-04 | get a JL audio 500/1 and the two atlas' and do not run them in a bandpass enclosure, run them sealed if you dont want to over power your music. I would deff go that route and the JL w1v2's really arnt that good IMO I think the JL line starts to sound good at the w3v2's and up. I would go atlas! |
New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 8 Registered: Apr-05 | Wait bewtween atlas 12, jl 12w3v2,jl w1v2,eclipse 12, and volfenhag 12 which is the best and my price range is limited to lets say under 450 bcuz 450 is pushing my limit(i should have stated earlier) |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2548 Registered: Dec-04 | 450 including an amp or just for subs, first off, F volfenhag, get rid of that sh*t |
New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 9 Registered: Apr-05 | Its not that i want to over pwoer, but rather have good clean sound bass that is loud enough to hear me coming, i really want bandpass bcz i dont like sound of the subs jus open.(i may be confuse, the diff between sealed and bandpass id that sealed is just the norm and bandpass has all da boxes w port tubes and plexi, right?) |
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2433 Registered: Dec-04 | exactly volfengarbage is awfull. I would go 1-atlas 2-jl w3v2 |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2551 Registered: Dec-04 | what about Ti |
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2434 Registered: Dec-04 | bandpass is awfull for SQ. |
New member Username: RedrangePost Number: 10 Registered: Apr-05 | Alright i didnt know quality wise how volfenhag was. It was new to me ive never heard of them till today. Im used to to kicker,alpine,jl,mtx but w my price range i was looking for the best set of 12's i could get. well 450 is up in da air if u can give me options for both that would be tremendously helpful |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2560 Registered: Dec-04 | i suggest getting a 12 inch eclipse ti, a 15 ava, or 2 12 inch atlases, but ti i suggest the most lol, but the 15 ava is 299, the 2 atlases would be 300 with shipping, and the 12 ti you cang et for 310 shipped |

Silver Member Username: Erik123456Arlington, Tx Post Number: 527 Registered: Aug-04 | i disagree with all of you.... Why do you get a Range Rover, bc its cheap and has the best performance? - no because it looks cool and is expensive - yes So logically he needs to rock w7s bc they are overpriced and the status symbol in subs seriously the atlas is a great woofer but it looks ugly and plain - if you have a $60,000 car i think you can spring for a bit extra all this is null and void if its like a 82 rover though lol |
Silver Member Username: Erik123456Arlington, Tx Post Number: 528 Registered: Aug-04 | 2 12w6v2s for 380 a piece 1 jl 1000/1 for 700 you will be spending a lot but it will sound great look smooth and elegant and the jl amp will give you a bit of a matching system and its a great amp |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2637 Registered: Dec-04 | personally, jl subs look retarded, no shine, no glamour lol, BUT, for the box ill charge you for 2 12 atlases sealed ill do 60 plus shipping, im not sure what shipping would be, maybe around 50 or 60 bucks |
Silver Member Username: Erik123456Arlington, Tx Post Number: 530 Registered: Aug-04 | lol how do they look worse than the atlas |
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2639 Registered: Dec-04 | i didnt say they looked better, but if NT was going for a good looking sub, Eclipse is where its at haha, But the jl is just a smooth dull black surface, at least the atlas has some contour, or the ava does, idk lol |
Bronze Member Username: RedrangePost Number: 22 Registered: Apr-05 | Its a 1997 range w 220,000 miles 60,000 on da "new" engine. And looks dont really mean to much for me, im more into da performance. |
