03SilverTL

I have a 2003 TL and im looking to install a new sub in my car. I already wired the car for my last system (which was a complete failure, i tried to go extreme low budget, that didn't work). Now im looking to spend some money and get a JL 500/1 amp and a JL 12w6 v2 sub. My questions are, is the full JL system worth it?, would it be better to get a 10w7? and should i buy a JL brand box or have someone make me one to JL Specs. Thanks alot guys, btw i listen to mostly rap so i want this to bump and sound clean at the same time. Thanks again

listen to all 4 series of speakers (tr, vr, xr, and zr). see which ones you like. there are other brands of speakers that you might like better. their amps are very good (the "/" and the "e", now "a" series). the 500/1 is awesome, i have had one powering a 10w3v2 in a stealthbox for 4 years. never ran out of power, and the w6 or w7 will be cleaner and louder. jps

I have a 2005 TSX with a JL 500/1 and a 10W7 and its pretty loud. I just listen to punk and rap so its great for both. Looking to get my Alpine 9835 installed soon since its so much because its gotta be custom.. wonderful. Yea def get the W7 no problems had it in my old car two years ago

I haven't touched the stock system in my 06 TSX yet, but I have the 300/4 and 500/1 in my 06 GLI, along with a 12w6v2. Sounds great!

The amps are 3 years old, originally installed in a 2003 Mazda6, then a 2004 Mazda RX-8, and still work fine. In fact, the last install had the amps installed under peg/board and carpeting and still functioned perfectly, even in 95+ degree temperatures in Florida. There's a lot to be said for reliability. The amps are designed to put out the same power at 4 ohms as at 2 ohms, so they are extremely versatile.

Yeah, if you lsiten to mostly rap, the 10w7 will suit you well. The 12w6v2 is a great sub, but you'll get more boom from the dub7. Go for all JL, there stuff is top notch and the slash amps are built like tanks.

I have a 10w7 and a sloted custom box.....it is really really loud. Pushing it with a 500/1 The box also makes a ton of difference

I too have the same setup and I dislike it. I listen to almost every type of music and I think its just not as versatile of a sub. And for the price, you can get 3 12W6v2's which would hit much harder.

1. 500/1 and 10" W7 doesnt not equal 3 W6v2's with amps lol. crazy people , and yes you are right but i have the sub for rap, it just sounds good with punk also.
