Argument over JL VS RE with friend

Post by NViejeP »

We all know JL is a top name brand. And RE is a pretty darn godo brand. While just joking around about whose car is better, we had this argument come up, I just want to know whose right.

He thinks his JL Audio 12W6 with 400 watt RMS from a good brand amp would crap on a RE SE 12" with 600 watt RMS from a good brand amp.

I'm kind of unsure, but just for the sake of being better tahn him, I argued with the RE SE winning.

Pretend like the amps are top of the line amps and both are of the same qualtiy, just one puts out 600 watt rms and one at 400 RMS.

Who would win, in SQ? Loudness? And SPL?

SE hands down.....were talkin 1990's tech vrs 2006 tech. The SE will win in every category. I use to run w6's back in the day, and yes they sounded good, but the SE's will lay the smack down. I believe the w6's are 300 rms tho, as to 600 rms for the SE, so you got a 3db gain right there.

Also, it really depends on install, box car ect.....This will be one-sided all the way. Your friend loves his sub, and nothing will be better. You will love yours and think nothing will be better. But Type X vrs Type Y threads are useless. If you think your's sounds better, and louder, then thats all that matters. If he likes his, and is perfect for him......well you get the picture.

Yeah the W6 was a nice sub but its out dated. Now if its a W6V2 then it would be alot closer. Probably favoring the W6V2 for SQ.
