JL Stealthbox upgrade - C6

Has anyone though about a better driver for the C6 Stealthbox? The advances have been outstanding over the last year and I believe that the W3 is what is in the box now.

Thoughts please...

Oh yes - I am (will) running the DLS iridium 6.3 set up so below 60-80 hz is where I am looking to enhance.

Looks like they're using the 10W3v2 in it. Recommended sealed enclosure for that is .625 cu ft and the driver has a mounting depth of 5.75". While it doesn't necessarily mean the stealthbox is exactly that, it's probably in the 5/8-3/4 cu ft range. So I'd start my search for drivers that are happy in that kind of space.

I pulled the JLw3v2 from the c6 stealth box and replaced it with a ID 10v.3. I'm running DLS comps too... Iridium 8.2's.

Did you do that because the W3 was blown or because you were unhappy with the sound? How much of a difference did you notice?

Nope, the JL had about 10 hours on it when I pulled it out, it was perfectly fine. I prefer the ID. I feel it has better SQ and dynamic bass response. It also gets lower than the JL, which is where I need it to be. With 8" woofers in the doors, I'm crossed over at about 52 hZ.

Stay tuned..

Recommendations are requested!

I wish someone would post the optimal set up before I spend way too much to configure something livable...

Sweet Leo! Did you you the dual two or four ohm version?
