6819, help me pick 3 10's
Posted by Eklypz420, Aug-02-03 06:56 PM
Well I just bought a JL 300/2 and 250/1 amps now I'm looking to getting 3 10's. Any suggestions, I was thinking about going with JL 10w6's, or else MAYBE 3 bazooka tubes, just because it would look cool. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Jl, the w6 are awesome subs but be sure you get subs that will fall within the rms ratings of your amps

I suggest looking into elemental designs. www.edesignaudio.com

If you want 3 sealed subs that are right up there with the w6, look into the "o" series. I think the 10's are the e10o.

heres pics of the 10" o series

If you want ported and something thats very close to, or slightly better than a w7, step up to a "A" series sub.

Heres the 10" A series

Im ordering a single 12" A series myself, its gonna be bad ass }(
I know its a little known company, but the more I read about them, the more I like them. They look great, sound great, and have a 3yr warranty, and are something to consider for the price.

I really like my three 10 jl w3v2's. But i have a pretty big amp on em. with the power your pushing, it would sound really good with three w0 10's. My buddy had three w0 10's with a 75a2 rockford amp and it sounded pretty good.

oh, heres some pics of my setup:

docwhiplash=showoff :P ;) truely awesome install, man.

im going waaay out on a limb here and saying that the best 10" sub ive ever heard is the MTX blue thunder legand (BTL...also called the 6000 series) in a .75-1 cubic foot sealed box. it wont get loud or bust windows, but it will sound increadible...better than my friends velodyne home sub. ;) the JLs are good as well if you want to spend the money, and they will get quite a bit louder.

I know I am but I'm usually not, Just that I'm pretty proud of my work on this and you guys I know can appreciate it more than most. And just like spl said. The 6000's are real nice. I just hooked up three of those in a buddies car and it sounds really good. He is only putting around 400 watts total to them also. It really depends on what amp you will be using for the subs. The 300/2 or the 250/1. I think the 250/1 is a class d amp and the 300/2 is a class a/b amp. I would use the 250 and go with a lower model speaker with a lower rms rating, or upgrade the amp and go wih the mtx 6000's or a jl w3 or up. alpine type r's are real nice also. so many options out there you just need to make sure you have the right power to run it.

But anyways I was really impressed with how the w6's sounded.
