Which subs?

[Explorer_2196]

Crutchfield is having a buy one get one free sale and I want to know which kind of subs to get (12"):
1. Polk Audio EX124
2. JBL Loud + Clear LC-S1250w
3. Kenwood KFC-W3003
4. Rockford Fosgate Punch RFZ2412
5. Sony XS-L1235

Thanks.

to tell you the truth, i wouldn't recommend any of them.
do you think there is a reason why they are buy one get one free?? probably because nobody is buying them and they need to get rid of them. you could spend about $100 and get one sub that will definately outperform two of them (and sound better while hitting harder).

More than likely true.

I'd go with the JBL loud and clears. My friend has 2 of those 12 inch woofers in a bandpass with a 600 watt coustic amp powering them and they haven't blown yet and it's been a year! It hits really hard too.

If you want your investment to last, save some more money and get quality. I would recommend JL W3 12" subs powered on a JL amp. It is the clearest bass and just overall best I have heard from any system. My friend who has a Tahoe got 4 12" JL W3 Subs powered by 2 600 watt JL Amps and OMG it is amazing bass. Besides the fact it cost $3000, they just sound awesome. BTW, if you do want something not too much, I got a deal from Tweeter the guy sold me 2 12" XTANT M Subs mounted in a box the same color as my carpet and then recommended a 450 watt Kenwood KAC-819 amp. Let me tell you, I was extremely pleased with all his selections. I am running this with a factory head unit and it sounds awesome.

yeah, one JL W3 will sound much better than a pair of those other subs.

who is tweeter?

I bought one 12w3 in a sealed box made my JL AUDIO from tweeter (a local electronics store). My truck has very clean bass. It sounds better than a friend of mine with 2 12in Rockford Fosgate subs. Deffinatly save your money until you can afford to buy quality. In car audio you get what you pay for. Sound Quality is what you want not just a bunch of noise.

Listen to Leenjen he seems to know everything about audio systems.

how much we talkin about 99explorer5.0?

 

[99explorer5.0]

I dont remember exactly how much i paid for the sub. I think it was around $250 give or take a few bucks for the sub in a box made by JL AUDIO.

Sorry I guess they don't have Tweeters where you live. In Dallas/ Ft. Worth it is like a electronics place they have big screens stereo systems and car stuff etc.
