Hi guys. I'm starting to build my 2nd system ever in my 1999 Cadillac DeVille that I got from my uncle as a graduation present and I want something that's gonna hit hard but still sound good. All I have so far is; an Alpine IVA-W505 head unit that I asked for, that I got installed a few months ago(also as a present, hopefully I picked out a good one).
So right now my question is about which subs to get. My friend wants to sell me his 2 JL W015's in a small sealed carpeted box that he has, for $300 (which he purchased from a shop on the ghetto side of town a few years back) which he claims is a steal. But I was browsing the web & forums and was thinking about maybe a RE SX15 in a semi-large (4cu.ft. or so) ported box. However, upon telling him this, he said that JL is the "chronic" of subs and they can't be beat, period. And also that 2 15's will kill one 15", especially 2 JL's. This isn't the first time I've herd this much praise about JL, and I was wondering if it's true or not? I assume it is, but I just want to make sure before I buy anything. Oh, and I want to try to stay below $1000 for everything (sub, amp, & wiring).
the sx15 is 10x the sub of the w0.. But they are totally different. The sx is a spl based sub and the w0 is the lowest jl model (TMA subs excluded). I would take the SX any day and twice on sunday..
Agreed^^^. The sx15 would be able to handle more power than the JL's combined. 1 15" will do the job and they sound very nice. I have a feeling your friend is just pitching you those lines because he wants to get rid of those subs. Don't fall for it.
take it from all of us the W0 is trash compared to SX JL is a great speaker sound great but no comparison to some of the other names like RE and FI i find
