Want a JL Audio sub setup
I am currently 16 years old and I will be buying my car from my brother soon as I turn 17 in February. I am looking for a JL Audio subwoofer setup, and any recommended amps. I am wondering how much 2 12" JLW3v2's with a box / amp would cost and how it would sound. If any of you have ideas for me, I'd love to hear them. I want the subs to be pretty loud. I have a Sony Headunit already.

Re: Want a JL Audio sub setup
Sell the sony, buy an alpine 9835, screw the JL's and go with a adire Brahma, and use a cadence amp. Total cost - near $1500. Seriously, how much do you have to spend? (beat ya to it sr20)

Re: Want a JL Audio sub setup
JLs are fine..., but wont get too loud. As for the Sony headunit, Keep it only if it is the newest high end model. Otherwise toss it. Only real reason you should toss the JLs is cause the cost way too dang much and there are better subs for less.

Re: Want a JL Audio sub setup
Although the 12w3v2's aren't the loudest subs around they do have the ability to get fairly loud in the right box. They also have EXCELLENT sq. A better choice that I would reccomend is 2 re audio se 12's. They won't cost any more then the 12w3v2's, but they will get MUCH louder and still maintain good sound quality. They're usually around 375 for a pair shipped brand new from re. For the power it really depends on you budget. A hifonics brutus bx1500d would be great for the pair and will run you around 250 shipped with with warranty off of ebay. If you want to step it up a bit look at elemental designs nine.1. Some other good choices would be anything from cadence, phoenix gold, memphis, directed, and tru technology (mucho $$) to name a few for amps. As far as other sub combinations go..... two adire shivas though they wouldn't quite have the output of the se's, incriminator audio, one re audio xxx, a brahma from adire, jl w6v2's (very over priced) re sx's, another good coice would be to try to find a pair of used SExxx's from re. Websites are: www.reaudio.com www.adireaudio.com www.edesignaudio.com www.maxxsonics.com www.trutechnology.com www.visionaryaudio.com (good place to buy re and adire) www.incriminatoraudio.com Also a budget would be nice to know so we know what you can afford.

Well
I don't want to be spending too much, but if I could get a decently loud setup for the price of what the 2 RE SE's / ED Nine. 1 would cost me that would be fine. I have not been to an audio store so I can only compare them to what I actually have heard in someone's car. Can anyone give me how many watt's the 2 RE's would need? Would the ED Nine.1 be a good amp to power them? Would one 12" Adire Brahma be better than two RE Se's, and if not, how about the 15" (pretty expensive, might not be able to power it?) ? Would they sound pretty loud if I used that amp? Any other information / good setups are welcomed!

Re: Want a JL Audio sub setup
$1000 can buy you a ton
Single 15" brahma or xxx and a hifonics brutus 1500d or eD nine.1. Believe me, you will NEVER have to worry about not having enough output, especially if you go ported....
