JL Audio W6 Subs...

Are these subs good for SQ or SPL or both? Can I use my current box (two 12" sealed, 1.x cubic feet, less than 1.5, I think) for W6 subs? I believe that they are 3 ohms each so when I wire them in parallel the amp would see 1.5 ohms. What is a good amp for two W6's?

If you want JL's then go with the W3's not the W6s'

JL W6's are dual 6ohm subs designed for SQ ..but their of an OLD design..the never W3's are a superior overall sub... the W6 v.2's are even better....

JUGGS are not gonna sound as good as a W3 or W6 properly setup..that subs very peaky no matter what enclosure you put it in...it's not a bad sub..just not on par sound wise as JL W3's...SPL Wise..with enough power it'll kill W3's..

In that same price range for great SQ..good low end.. good SPL in a small sealed application.. Audiomobile EVO's fit the bill, Adire Audio Shiva's fit the price-sound bill..but they like big boxes [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. Memphis HP subs do as well..but $$$$$$$$...1 single sub for $305US can beat a pair of W3's in SQ and SPL sealed.. the IDMAX..... You have alot of Options..JL's are good..but their warranty backing isn't that good..
