Which sub??

Anyone got any ideas on what the best 12" sub might be. Looking to get one second hand and considering JL Audio W3 or Kicker Solobraic?...

 

Either are quality bits of kit but be a bit careful with second hand subs that they have been looked after and housed in the correct box. Some subs when monuted incorrectly or in the wrong box can get hammered because they are flapping about and as soon as you box them up properly they blow.

Infinity Perfect 12" are also a nice warm sub.

 

define best. best at what?

silly loud or sound good?

 

I have the Kicker L7 in my car. The bass is strong without being overwhelming but it does help if you balance it out with decent front speakers.

 

L7, but which size and what box? L7 is nothing compared to its predecesor which had a much better balance of going loud and still sounding awesome.

L7 is great if you want a boomer of a sub

depends how the OP defines 'best'

 

best as in sounds good not stupidly loud

 

no i disagree i have a directed pro plus 15 inch in a sealed box i listen to low end basslines like drum n bass n bashment reggae but it sounds good with hip hop etc that is a good bassy sub whether loud or low regardless but a perfect sounding sub to me is the alpine r types they are the bollox

 

depends on budget too i suppose

if you want to go mad, get your 15" in a ported/slot ported box. you end up with so much more efficiency it should be silly loud

 

Sorry prob shud have said I was looking at a second hand kicker solob L5...Budget does mean i'm looking used as much as I'd prefer new!! Need a decent amp as well but yeah just for general sounds pretty good but not mad do we reckon the L5's ok??

 

but how much? i recon the best thing to do is try the talkaudio site

 

i have a DB Audio TREX 12 inch for sale if you like these retail around 270 new pm me if your interested mate and i will get some pics sent to ya
