I need some opinions on the best sub. I want a sub that is loud, but has good sound quality. I have narrowed my search down to these two:

12" Kicker Solo Baric L7 4 Ohm subs

Or

12" Jl audio W3 4 Ohm


What do you guys recommend? Thanks

The L7's DO NOT have good sound quality. i don't care what anyone says about the right enclosure blah blah blah. L7's DO NOT have good sound quality. Period.

Do the W3's have a loud bump?

Depends on what you consider loud, my infinity reference get pretty loud, enough that you can feel the bass good, and i have em in a small sealed box with low wattage, id recommend RE SE 12s they seem really nice and not too expensive. i think like around 200 - 220 a piece shipped. Me of course I plan on killing myself (jk) so im buying 2 RE XXX 12s when i get the cash.

The only thing I am worried about is the rms of the JL's. They are 300 rms. The kickers are 750 rms. Does rms mean they hit harder?

No it means it requires more power.

More power = more $$$

I put in a new FAQ covering subwoofer size and displacements.

What is your goal with this system?

Im with the others, Im NOT a fan of the kicker squares...

Read the FAQ's in the FAQ section first for all questions you might have. It's faster than posting and waiting for an answer.
