L7s or Type Rs?
|
New member Username: Jake112990Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-08 | I am looking to buy new subs since my L5s just blew. I was looking at either getting L7s or Type Rs. I have a JBL BP1200.1 amp. Here is the specs for the amp - http://www2.dealtime.com/xPF-JBL-BP1200-1. I want the subs to be really loud but have sound quality too. If anyone has any suggestions please share. Thanks! |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4593 Registered: Jun-05 | I say get kicker cvr's if you want loud and sq since they get louder than type r's. But they still retain some form of sq. or if you can afford them get the kicker cvx's |

New member Username: Jake112990Post Number: 6 Registered: Nov-08 | what about JL W3s? |
|
Gold Member Username: Livin_loudCOD4 Addict Post Number: 2729 Registered: Jan-06 | ^ if you want straight sq, go ahead. |
|
New member Username: Jake112990Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-08 | will it not be as loud as a type r or l7? |
|
Gold Member Username: Livin_loudCOD4 Addict Post Number: 2732 Registered: Jan-06 | hell no haha. L7's get pretty loud, type r's get decent dB. it will audibly sound better than both though. |
|
New member Username: Jake112990Post Number: 8 Registered: Nov-08 | so which one would you suggest between the Type R, the L7, or the W3? |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3846 Registered: Sep-06 | Out of those go with Alpine Type R's. Also take a look at RE SE 12's. |
|
Silver Member Username: QuirkySA, Texas Post Number: 333 Registered: Feb-07 | R but look around more out of the mainstream or "big store brands" and u will find better quality at the same prices. Some other brands to check out are Fi, RE, RD, audioque, Ascendant audio, Sound splinter, DC. In my opinion the L7 and L5s have no sound quality but if you were fine with the L5s then its your call. |

|
New member Username: Jake112990Post Number: 10 Registered: Nov-08 | and should i get 2ohms or 4ohms with that amp? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9005 Registered: Jul-06 | Type R will be louder than W3 Get dual 2 ohm |
|
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4700 Registered: Jun-05 | rov i always heard the cvr was louder than the type r and hearing both b4 i would agree. but i bet the r can get louder if u actually know what ur doing |
|
New member Username: DmwsolonPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | L7 our louder i had one. type R are loud but not as loud but alil better on sound quality. Id get the L7 tho as long as u can power it right. get a 15inch |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10958 Registered: Jun-04 | "what about JL W3s?" w3's are ok but id pass on them. I had a 12 w 3 in my old monte carlo z34. But the w6 v2 12 is much better. Go with that over the w3 for sure. The 12 w6 v2 has very good sq with average output probably around 132 -135 db with 500 watts in a ported box depending on the vehicle. |
