subwoofers
Hey whats up guys im looking into getting some subs very soon and as soon as i find a good price but im wondering what would be best to get here are some choices if you have some let me know of course
1) one or two jlw6v2 12inch
2) two 12inch Kicker L5
3) one Kicker L7 12in or if i can get a good price on one a 15
4) some type of RF Punch or Power sub
Im looking into going to shows and i want bass that i can listen to loud but not hurt your ears you just feel it and hear it.. i know it all depends on how you power it to but I read really good views on the JLw6v2 but than i heard the Kicker L5 is good too so let me know. If anyone out there has hook ups or anything on subs with amps hit me up.

Mike....listen up. I have personally owned, at one time or another, all of those subs. L5's are ****. L7's are good if you want hard hitting bas, but horrible for sound quality. All the Rockfords Ive owned Ive enjoyed and they last forever. However, out of all the subs I have ever owned...the W6v2 is BY FAR my favorite. Hits harder than a **** and one of the cleanest subs out on the market right now. I dont care what anyone says about these subs.....the W6 is an extremely awesome sub. They are however a little pricey, but worth every penny. They are also very picky as far as amps go. When I had both of mine, it took 3 amps before I found the right one...which was the JL Audio 1000/1. This is however an expensive amp. If you want clean sound, that hits hard....stick to JL. You can never go wrong with JL. I would still have these subs if they hadnt gotten stolen. Let me know whatever you decide....Ill hook you up on some good deals. Just remember...the more you buy....the more I can hook you up.
Now...for my suggestion. Go with 2 JL W6v2. 1 is definitely sufficient....but if you plan on going to shows....2 looks better. haha. And, if you just want the bass there to turn it up every now and then...2 will be PLENTY of bass. For power....stick to JL amps. Dont cut corners with the power to those beasts. Go with a single JL 1000/1 or 2 500/1's. Sure....W7's would be way louder...but theyre WAY more and they require WAY more power. And they need massive boxes which will way your car down like no other. Stick to the w6. Trust me, when I had this set-up....it was loud as hell...ask anyone who ever heard it. Just make sure you hook it up right...which I can help you with. Next time we meet up....we'll talk more about this. BUt this info will give you something to ponder on.

those jl's are way more expensive than every other sub your comparing. There are alot of other subs you should consider, such as the eclipse titanium, elemental designs, adire, illusions and dd audio. They are lesser known, but can easily compete and surpass jl and for a cheaper price
