I want to a get a sub to add with my stock system, I don't want overwheliming bass but I want something good. I have been looking at the power sub category as I want something not too big. That being said can any of you give me feedback on the
Clarion SRV303, or Audiobahn ATB10AT. How do these two compare to the infinity bass link? thanks in advance.

 

does anyone know about any of these subs ?

 

I think most people avoid these subs, honestly. You might PM gmfreed, he's a salesdroid at Tweeter, he may have heard some of these in the showroom or in the install bay???

This category of subs has been around for 15 years, and they have always kinda sucked, honestly.

 

i concur, stay away from audiobahn they are the pime example of what a rice sub is. all show and no go.

 

Without knowing your budget, I would say there are plenty of better subs than those two examples.

 

I will admit I even looked at the BassLink and another similar product. But, after getting out the tape-measure, they still took up over .8 cf of trunkspace, even if they were in a plastic box smaller than .7cf.

Sad to say, but you're likely better off doing what everybody does: putting a big ugly box in your trunk with a good woofer and amp.

Off topic, but I've always wondered if it was possible to build a really nice-sounding sub that was very small, by using a frea-air subwoofer like the oem sub in the TL. I guess without a large baffle or a box it wouldn't work...

 

i have JL audio w3v2 model and i am pleased with it

 

when looking for a JL sub, what should I bo looking at to run off a 400x1 RMS amp?? (when bridged....)

 

well im really looking to to spend about $150. Im not looking for overwhelming bass, just looking for something that would be a bit bassier then say a 05 tl.

 

Without using any of the sarcasm that came to mind, it's just hard to get quality sound added to OE for $150. I'd say the minimum is probably closer to twice that, and any less is shortchanging your car and the rest of your system (and you).

It's not a PC, you know...

 

$150 for the sub only or 150 for the amp also.

I have a JL 12w3v2 and I'm really happy with it. I bought off a seller on ebay for like $135.

 

I would think a JL 12w6. That would be great with 400 watts RMS. A 12w3v2 would also probably be able to handle 400 watts but it might be pushing it a little too hard.

Here's the JL chart:
