Ok i was at my guy today and talking about my system. I originally went in their wanting one jl 10' w7. Some how he talked me out of it and told me their really only worth it for show cars and not as good as said and over priced thr whole 9 yards. So we talked and talked and talked and i decided on two 12' w3v2 with a 1200watt audibahn amp with leik two fans and temp display or sumin and a compasator(however it is spelled) and a mtx box with one thing not two or sumin that it will only be liek 4 ohms not 8. Now my question is did i make a good choice or should i have gone with the one 10' w7 COMMENTS PLEASE

 

04 TL... Anything over 600 watts will sound like shit from the outside unlike you dynamat the hell out of your car. ANd you will need plenty. You will need to take apart some pieces of the trunk as well... Also...

2 JLW3v2's are very good subs. The 2 fans and temp display are useless. Get a warranty on the 2 subs and maybe the warranty on the amp. That way if they break you get free replacements. Dont waste money on temp display and fans. Put your amp underneath the passenger seat and keep the climate control on and set it to Underneath. There is a vent underneat the seat and the amp will be properly ventilated. Get a dual box if you have 2 subs. Get a dual box with a dividier in the middle. DOnt get 2 sepearte boxes it looks kinda dumb

yes i think a capacitor may help

hope i helped

So you think im goign to much

i am not paying for the temp and fans they are built into the amp
and i am also getting a dual box but no divider in the middle
last hting i thinkt he amp is getting mounted ont he backside of the box(anything in ur personal opion why that woudl be bad?)

Thanks for your input the warranty and other things helped thank you
P.S. what do you think im paying including installation???????????????

 

One of my buddies has the same Jl 12 subs your talking about in his a4, and he's not happy with it. We both had the jl 8 w7 in our cars and thought its the cleanest sounding sub we've heard, buut it wouldn't satisfy us at higher volumes it would not hit nicely w/ rap and hip hop at high volumes. so we concluded that 2 10 jl w6 v2 will cut it, which i will install sometime in the summer. I think one jl 10 w7 will do nicely hooked up to the jl 500/1 amp, if your not happy w/ that add in another one.

 

i'm running a 12" type r with a 400 watt amp and i don't put the volume pass 18 coz it's too much vibration

 

I'll never understand the need to subject the rest of the population with the sound coming out of a car...

 

I'm running one JL 12" w6v2 w/a JL 500/1 amp & I'm lovin' it. It hits nice and clean at either high or low volumes.....

 

I do. I love pissing people off. I want a system that will break there windows and make their ears bleed. Until then...

 

10inch w7, there's no reason why a $35k should have anything less if what your going for his great bass in hip hop and the like..

 

I'm running a 6 channel mcintosh amp, mac mids and highs with image dynamics idq's for subs. i am very happy with that. i am also using a capacitor. everything behind the front seats have been dynomated. the trunk was built out and the original liner can put over the displayed amp and subs. it look like acura put this all in there. the dynomating really does work wonders. you really can't hear much outside even if i'm busy making myself deaf inside and the sound pure perfection. I would stay away from the w7 especially if you need two. the box they require is two big. a buddy of mine has one w6 or two if you wish. or image dynamics idmax, or alpine type x's, all very good. i strongly recommend staying away from a box and having the trunk built out. the only difference in space is no more spare tire and the trunck floor is about 2 inches higher than stock. i have pics to email out if you wish.

 

eal15 post the pics please

 

i can email them. no photohosting. do i need that.

 

What do you need two 12 foot subs for? How are you going to get them into an MTX box with one thing not two? Don't worry about spelling "capacitor"; you still need to work on "like" and "something". Walk before you run!

I know nothing about the audio gear you are referring to, but my words of advice would be:

StOp FuCklnG tYpInG lIkE tHiS.

 

My partner at work and I just took some quick pics. give me some time. The guy that did the custom work is the head installer at pictureperfectmotoring.com. the shop co-owned by morris peterson of the toronto raptors. his new web site is sjlcustomauto.com. he had decent prices, even for americans. all the cars on www.pictureperfectmotoring.com were built by him.

 

CAUSE 2 (15s) would not fit in my TLs TRUNK !!!!!!!!!!

I got 2 (12s) type Rs and 1001.BD and a whole lot of dynamat .. no rattles ...

 

oh yeah, absolutely no rattles or shakes. in fact the guy even got the rattler out of the glove box. my dealer couln't even fix that. and i was hoping to just drown that out!

 

Here are a few quick pics. i removed the etched plexi, too much glare.

 

nice eal15 but you don't have the spare anymore do you? i'm still trying to find a right trunk set up. right now my amps and cap are right behind the back seat and the my 12 has a box - a big box and i can hardly get into my spare tire compartment

 

no spare, that's what road side assistance is for. i'm using them for everything it's free. i have new subs and a second amp but the sub diameter is slight larger. some mior modifications are needed for the subs and the amp will be mounted underneath everything.

 

i have 1 jl12w7 in a JL box, i forgot what JL calls it but its the one with the oval red circle in the front...it hits hard and i LOVE it...1 12 is more than good enough for me and it runns of a jbl 1200.1 amp

I love my JL W7. I did have to dynomat my trunk lid, but other then that the sub is the best one I have ever had.

 

Keep this thread on topic, he was just joking around with you, try to be mature while using our forums please. This is a priveledge not a right, don't abuse it..

 

Ok I guess first.. noone here really should take ANYTHING PERSONALLY.. it's our own tastes and just ignore people you think are being A$$e$.... that's first

Second.. the 10w7 is a FINE sub.. 1 of those with the right amp with def sound better than alot of other 2 subs..

I use ported enclosures... I like them cause they BOOOOOMMMM, I listen to Rap and hip hop and everything else.. I don't have an OUNCE of dynomat/scotch/liquid spray or any sound deadening and there is not ONE rattle.. I DO however have mine ported THRU the passthru in our cars so that is the reason.. I allows a much BETTER sound..

I am running 2500W or so and I DO NOT have a CAP... If the install is done right you don't need one.. period. Get a better battery if you THINK you need one.. If you are running less than 1500W YOU SHOULD NOT NEED A CAP...

I run all DLS stuff, most people haven't heard of it because it's not mainstream, but it wins all of the awards in Europe.. check it out if you don't believe me.. DLS SITE

Here are some pics of the install.

sorry kinda big.

Three amps across

Port in Passthru

Kick Panels

Just FYI I have a three way set up front Iridium 6.3 (their show line) 6.5 in stock door location, 4" in the kick panel and tweeter in dash location.

I have 2 DLS Iridium UR12's in a ported box behind the amps that run 800W each and it pounds all day long. I didn't lose my spare tire access either..

Ryan

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

 

I also have other pics.. and the DVD/Navi conversion done... If anyone wants more pics you can check them out at TL Photos

 

Wheres your subs facing??? The seat??? If so, it must be pretty hard for the subs to breathe??

 

[QUOTE=eal15]Here are a few quick pics. i removed the etched plexi, too much glare.









Nice clean set up!!! So is the sub box built into the spare tire compartment or are you using the compartment as a box?? How much did just the installation of the sub box and amp rack and everything else cost you not including the subs and amps??? Thanks!

 

The subs are in a PORTED BOX, they don't need to face any certain way.. although they face each other in the box. A ported exclosure is basically a big box with a "VENT" coming out of it that the bass goes through... so the "Vent" is coming thru the passthru in our cars.

Did that make sense??

THink of it like this.. it's a cardboard box there are two subs in there and it's sealed with tape. then pop a hole in there and add a tube or some kind (like the ones paper towel come on) this is where the air comes out and it BOOOMMMMSSS. So the subs can face any direction although mine face each other..

 

[QUOTE=ed99]if you were asking about this set up, it was under 1700 canadian with materials and dynomating everything behind the front seats. my buddy did all the work. the box is built under the subs.

 

ported boxes are good too. before thsi car i had a 240 sx and in there i had the same equipment but in a ported box. i prefer the seal enclosure, sub require larger boxes when ported and the sound was a little cleaner, but you can hardr notice it. i'm quite picky though so i prefer the audiophile end of things. it stil hits quite hard.

 

Nice stuff, a little different from my set up. I was thinking of going with the set up against the back seat aswell. Just preference. Its easier to fit my baseball bag in the car the other way. DLS stuff is good, again personal preference. macintosh was the first really high end stuff i was introduced to some i'm loyal to them. its good to see another clean install.

 

Yea nice port. What i am goign to do is take out the stock sub and port them threw their so i dont always have to keep my middle open to get the full effect and it will also look clean. Sorry no pics becaus ei will be getting my rims before the system anyways i wanna thank everyone for their input and cant wait to show u my new tl in about a month or two

 

Where will you be getting ur system done? i am thinking of getting a system in mine as well, so tel lme how yours turns out and how much you spend. id be able ot meet up if you want t ocheck it out when you get it done.

 

im gettin it all done for 950 subs box amps cap... all installed base control mouted next to similar vsa blank button and all for 950 pretty good. Anyways i cant tlel u exactly when becaus eim always 100% ill be getting my rims before the sytsme which is in about three weeks. And im getting it done at a place on tremont they are asian very good they dont do like mad shit because they are more of a conventional place but they do some sick work. My friend had blew his 2500w amp and took ti to about three places all said he needed a new one ths place fixed it for liek 50$ they know their shit. Anyways yea i will defiantly keep in touch murdock how old are u? and where u chill at

 

Just curious, what kind of wheels are you getting my friend, size and make? 19's i hope
