I currently have 4 12" JL W0s in my.

HOWEVER, since i need a new box for them i havent put them in yet. when i DO put them in, its not coming back out.

my question to you is...
should i sell the JLs and get 4 12" Kicker Comps instead? i can get the kicker comps for 9$ a piece, and sell the JLs for 160, which means i could probably get rid of my Lanzar Vibe251 amp for 50$ and get a nicer one...

any suggestions???

Never heard w0s but kicker comps are pretty weak. I would step up and do 3 kicker compvrs and around 1000W rms.

Why 4 lower end sub woofers? Not saying they are a bad choice, just wondering what your goals are from your system. If you like JL, you could move up to a pair of W3 15's and probably save space.

well how much are W3 15s?

i just got fired the other week from work, and im only 17, so i dont need anything that will be inpossible to get out of my car, cuz then when my car takes a sh1t on me, it'll be impossible to get them out.

the local car audio shop is having a special on kicker comps 12s for 9 bucks a piece. plus i have DS series highs from kicker, and these comps would match them nicely.

If you are tight on money, as I can understand, go with the sale priced subs. At this point, no need to spend big money on something all new until you have the money to do it.

well the thing about it is that they may only have so many, PLUS they may only sell a certain amount to each customer.

they will have some good a55 deals though

i would say the kicker will be louder and most people in high school just want something loud to show off.
BUT! u might want to make sure those kickers are ok.... 9 bucks.... it makes me think something is wrong with them... if not ill pay u! how many rms can those handle? i want like 20 of them

john,
i called up there n they wouldnt tel me nothin, but at about 10 this mornin they said there was people already startin to line up.
which scares me.
so yeah i think im gonna stay with my JLs if i go there and they dont have any kickers left, or if they only let me buy like 3 of them.
