Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13470 Registered: Jul-05 | tell him that if it doesnt hit 150, then you want all of your money back and want to keep the stuff.... U no JL makes great stuff...it will def be a clean setup and will look good to...its really up to you if you wanna drop that much on an all JL setup knowing there is better out there for the money...but i mean its ur money do what you want.lol |

Bronze Member Username: GignmofoPost Number: 42 Registered: Jul-05 | Chad, Those are all good quality components. It's kinda like buying an IBM brand of computer. They are high quality but you pay a premium for the brand name. But overall you can't really go wrong with any JL products. Some other viable options based on what you are spending are Kicker, DD or RE, us Amps(older stuff). There is a balance between SQ and SPL, but 12W7 should work fine in either application. Just some insight |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16453 Registered: Oct-05 | the thing is i won't know until i try it. lol. i have tried alot of stuff but never the 12w7. i have heard how that sounds in a ho box and i love it. but the price always made me wonder. lol. now that i have some extra cash, i was thinking of trying it out. |

|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16458 Registered: Oct-05 | yeah rovin. i did have a sh!tload of jl slash amps in the past. lol. ahhh the good ole days. hahaha. this is something is am considering. i have a few other things in mind at the moment as well. lol. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sYou can call me Scroog... Post Number: 3432 Registered: Feb-06 | chad do you think you will like the 12 w7 better than the rl-s? i don't think it will be loud enough for you, but if you sell me you're rl-s' for 400 shipped i will fully support you |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16461 Registered: Oct-05 | lol reece. didn't you know? i already sold both of my rl-s. hahaha. and much more than 400 bux. lol. i am running a pair of realm audio 12s now sealed. they sound awesome. this is for the future. like a couple of months from now. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sYou can call me Scroog... Post Number: 3437 Registered: Feb-06 | i havent been on here regularly in 2 or 3 months... just sporadically and i didnt know that... why did you do that? what was the deal and how r the realms? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16475 Registered: Oct-05 | the realms are very nice. they sound just like the w6v2's. very clean and accurate. but you know me, i am always looking to change. i mainly want to change my component speakers first. i am really happy with the subs for now. i just ordered a sundown sae1000d from kevin so lets see how these realms sound on that amp. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2767 Registered: Nov-05 | chad, although the high output looks very cool, a 13w7 in a ported enclosure will have the same sound but get louder, and be cheaper |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12681 Registered: Jul-05 | hmm - just like Reece im on here often & i guess i missed that info on u selling ur subs ....i did see ur thread 2 sell the amp ... |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2304 Registered: Mar-06 | i'd go for it...the 12w7 sounds sweet and the ZR's are phenomenal...If i were you though, I'd get 2 13w6's ported instead of the 12w7 |

Silver Member Username: CharlesbhsDallas, Tx USA Post Number: 450 Registered: Jan-07 | hey chad how much did you get for the rl-s's? i was thinking of selling mine in a month or so... |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16478 Registered: Oct-05 | i sold them cheap cause both guys were my good friends. they paid 275 shipped each for them. you should charge more though. |
|
Gold Member Username: JkidderGunshine , State Flawda Post Number: 2977 Registered: Nov-05 | if you have the money chad why not go with a dd 9112???? |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1605 Registered: Mar-06 | If thats what you really want, go for it but as you already know, you can get better/just as good products, for the same price/cheaper. But we know you got money stacked up like cord wood. haha, wait is that only southern saying? |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16498 Registered: Oct-05 | hahaha eric. you are right. eric the other day i was trying to remember how many epicenter i had and sold. lol. i had total of 5 epicenters. hahaha. |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sYou can call me Scroog... Post Number: 3445 Registered: Feb-06 | chad... what was wrong with the rl-s'? not enough SQ? I am really just curious... i think you made a mistake selling those honestly. regardless if you are going for wonderful SQ look into Hertz audio at the mille 3800 or the DD 9115... Think about it... NO ONE on this forum has that sub and everyone wants to here one... do us all a favor including yourself (with the 9115) and i agree with rob if you're going to go with the JL get the 13.5 |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16499 Registered: Oct-05 | i really just want a simple setup reece. 2 500wrms subs with a 1000wrms amp. nothing more. the 2 rl-s i had are very power hungry. yes the sq was awesome. i still haven't heard anything that sounds better. but like i said, less power and just clean and simple install. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sYou can call me Scroog... Post Number: 3449 Registered: Feb-06 | word i understand... go with the 9115 then.... 1000s watts will sound clean |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16501 Registered: Oct-05 | damn that sub does look sick. lol. whats the cost on that? |

|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16505 Registered: Oct-05 | thats alot of money. damn. i doubt i'll spend that kinda cash on a sub alone. at least with the jl sub i would get the ho box. lol. thanks for the payment jake. if you have another address you want me to send the amp email me. if not, i'll just send it to the one on your paypal account. also you sound alot different that i expected. lol. you sound like a gangsta. hahaha. |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16510 Registered: Oct-05 | lol pitbull. i just want to do it right so it will last this time. i am taking everything in to consideration. like power, weight of the subs, and some other stuff. killa the reason i want the 12w7 is cause they don't make the ho box for the 13w7. doesn't this just look sexy? not to mention looks loud.  |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12686 Registered: Jul-05 | if u want ultimate SQ with some loud y not get just 1 12" RE XXX new model ....doubt u can get better than that ..... |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16516 Registered: Oct-05 | rovin i have heard the new xxx in action. it sounds good and all but when i was talking to the owner of the sub, he didn't like it. he told me it plays really well low but the upper frequencies are missing. all you here is the low and deep boom. i need all around sq. i am taking my time with this project. i am gonna do alot of research before i pick out my next system. but when i do, it will be insane. lol. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Rovin4 10 Pioneer... Post Number: 12687 Registered: Jul-05 | well honestly i havenet hear the newer 1 but heard the 05 with less than 1000wrms on it & it was the lowest freq bass i ever heard never heard a 12w7 b4 but heard 13w7 so it shouldnt be far off kinda frustrating to settle on 1 sub right - sorta like u picking a wife eh..... |
