Re: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SUB!!! (Roadrage)
umm i have yet to call any members names or slam them? so how can a person go about saying the jl isnt the best sub in the world as everyone thinks it is with out sounding like a dick?? i dont think highly of my self your the one who persieves it as that. Where have i lowered my "standards" to join here? your the one talking crap here? saying i have no credientials etc.. Last time i checked you dont have to post on a forum to know about car audio? I really dont care about car performance ;) id rather be engulfed in music than going fast and then having to slow down. Ill drop the subject now and ill try to follwing in your foot steps ;) ;) ;)

Re: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SUB!!! (EB_Z06)
Well, I've already fried a pair of 10w3s and the second pair are starting to go. My friend has 2 500/1 amps and one of them is shot. He also had a pair of 12W6s and one of them got cooked too. Me personally I'm please with the way the subs perform, when they perform, but I can't keep constantly keep going back to the dealer and having them keep swapping them out. I have had several different brands of subs in the past, and never had a problem with them before. Don't know why this is happenning. Oh and one more thing, I had a 500/1 myself but the darn thing kept overheating b/c it didn't have a built in fan to help cool it.

Re: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SUB!!! (Roadrage)
I have heard just about every speaker out, IDMAX, IDQ(Own), W7(OWn), W3(Own), DD, Focal, Oz(Owned), Shiva. The best sounding one is the W7. It has the cleanest and tightest bass yet has tremendous output. Now, the IDMax is VERY close in comparison, but the W7 seems to be able to handle more power and just has a more solid sound to it. I would not hesitate to get either of these subs, understanding the IDMAX is half the price of a W7. It is a matter of what you think will work for you. All the other subs are very good as well, but the IDMax and W7 takes everything to a whole new level. If you want to see the W7, scroll down to my post with my system in my truck. I will see what new is out as we are going to Padre today for the big sound off.

Re: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SUB!!! (MHLY01)
Good input, MLHY01 - Keep us posted! As the post indicates, I have the 12w7 and really like it. I am very interested in hearing the IDMax though, especially at half the price. By the way, NOBODY should pay JL's recommended list price. There is a store in upstate NY that I bought mine from and it was 545, including tax, out the door...

Re: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SUB!!! (webdzynes)
I wouldn't overlook Eclipse and Kenwood eXcelon if your buying subs and amps. I have a 12" Eclipse Aluminum sub, powered by a 1,200 x 1 Kenwood eXcelon amp (model #401M), It hits extremely hard, depending on how high you turn the amp itself up. My friend thought about putting the same sub/amp combo in his Camaro, so I let him try mine in his car for about 10 minutes, he turned the amp to full power, and turned up the volume pretty high, he decided to turn it down when his rearview mirror fell off the windshield!!!!!!!! :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :D :D :D
