Re: Directed Subwoofer
nope, never heard of that brand, but depending on your budget and set up you wanna go with, I'd say just get 2 alpine type E or S 10" i think they are like 60-70 dollars now and hit really good. i have 2 10"s on my car 1100W each sub and a mono amp pushing 700W.

Re: Directed Subwoofer
Why are you looking at raggedy cheap crap? Go ahead and spend some decent money and buy a setup worth while.
BTW: Directed is a good brand. I would reccomend it

I used to buy the cheapest of cheap too, and it never lasted long at all and never gave me the bass I wanted. JL is a good brand (I swear by it), what kinda of JL sub is it W0, W3, I doubt its a W6 or W7 giving the price, but still that seems pretty cheap for a JL sub. IMO 10' subs don't add very much and should be avoided at all costs unless thats all you can fit, other then that make sure you have a good amp to push them. That makes a huge difference too |

Re: Directed Subwoofer
JL is pretty decent. But its way too expensive. The only thing they make that I really care about is the W7.
As far as the size of subs go, you cant really base anything off of that. You can make 10s sound just as good as anything else. I had 1 12 in my car that would dog walk the doo dee out of just about anything on the street. And my home boy had 1 8 in his accord that was loud as crap. You just have to have the right setup. The most important thing is having a good amp, not having one that says "1200 max" or w/e and really does like 120 rms, lol.
