I know the size has nothing to do with it. Both are 12in anyway so I dont know where you are getting that from... I was thinking the L5 might be sloppier because it would only be getting 500w (compared to its 600w rms) and also because it is a SPL sub. Wouldnt a sub that is meant to be louder...

Right now I have a JL 12w3v3 in a ported box and a jl 500/1. I have a chance to pick up a 12in kicker L5 in a ported box at a very good price. Which do you think would sound better, the 12w3 or the L5? Both would run off of my jl 500/1. I know the L5 is supposed to be a louder sub, but would...

If only your right ear has damage then can't you still listen to music with 1 earbud in your left ear? Its obviously not going to be the same, but its better than never listening to music again. If your right ear is still so bad that you can't even talk to people or live a normal life, you might...

You said you felt the change in your right ear? So is that where the hypersensitivity is or is the problem in both ears? Im nothing close to an expert in this area, but I highly doubt both eardrums would be damaged at the exact same second. I'm sure one of them would go first.... If both of your...

I dont think its the car. My car is a 01 integra, hatchback 2 door and the back seats aren't even close to being sealed off. The box is ported, it is the JL h.o. box for the 12w3v3. Not sure of the dimensions, but there isn't a problem with the dimensions because jl made the box, not me. This is...

Yeah...you really dont get it. To be fair it is kind of hard for me to put into words but did you watch the videos? The lowest bass is louder then I want it, so the kick drums and the "thump" of the bass mixes with the louder bassline and it ends up sloppy. I want to really hear the kick drums...

I'm sure its wired right..its only one sub, and the wiring is pretty easy. If anything it would be some of the amp wiring but I don't think thats what it is...it doesn't sound like anything is getting distorted, it just sounds like the sub was meant to sound this way....I just know it wasnt. I...

Maybe the infrasonic filter has something to do with it? I know I am supposed to have it turned on because I have a ported box, but I can't find the port tuning settings for my H.O. box anywhere so I don't know what to set it to. Right now I have it between 25 and 30. I tried turning it off for...

And I have been to the site you showed me already, before I even posted this. I tried playing with it but I can't get it to the right setting for what I'm talking about. I can make the sub sound choppier so the bass ends sooner, but I can't get the lower basslines to be quieter.

Here, this will definitely help you understand what I mean: watch this video: JL W3V3 in H.O. Box - YouTube That is what I am trying to sound like...same sub and box. you can hear the beats and thumps of the bass. Listen to this video too: In the first two videos you can hear the beat of...

The bass doesn't "hit" or "thump" at all. It isn't tight bass or crisp, it is all muddled together because of the low bass sound. I just want to find out how to tune it better!

I know it shouldn't be that loud...I guess I'm not explaining the problem very good because I don't think you know what I mean. If I drove by you on the street in my car, volume loud, you would hear a loud VVVVVHHHHH sound. Not the beat thumping. It isnt a problem of not being loud enough, just...

What do you mean a pure SPL setup is not meant to play low? How are SPL subs any different from mine as far where you can tune them to? The JL 500/1 has an eq setting where you can boost whatever Hz range you want to... I still don't think my sub is normal. Every time I hear someone drive by...

I have heard many many subs that sounded better. Picture this...outside of the car, instead of hearing the bass of the beat, you just hear 1 straight low vibration on almost all songs. Inside the car, you can't even hear most words of the songs or anything really over the low bass. I don't think...

Does anyone know what Hz range the drums in a rap song are in? Not the basslines but the actual kick drums?
