ok well it's not the same thing if you know someone in the car audio field, obviously discounted things are much much cheaper.

It seems that everyone agree's that polyfill helps out, but does anyone know *how* ? The scientific reason behind it? maybe this in depth of a question isn't for this forum, but i figured i'd ask

$179 for a brand new RF P3002 isn't a good buy? I mean you might be able to find it cheaper off ebay, but how many places can you find it cheaper than that, and still get the one year warranty? I couldn't find any..

Ok sounds good, two follow up questions. Out of the many online sites I have, it seems that many places do not sell MA amp's...where is a good place online (besides ebay) to find MA stuff? Second, is it not a bit pricey, or am I just imagining b/c I just happened to find a great price on a 300W...

How?

Really, ok so he did know what he was doing.....but where exactly, or rather how, does the sub think the box is "bigger than it is"? Any explanations on this myth?

Just one 12" Kicker VRC. Breaking his wallet is obviouslly relative. I paid $179 shipped for a brand new RF (300 rms bridged), so...who knows, perhaps $150 or so for a 400W rms bridged amp that is not top of the line?

I had a friend who knows a lot about car audio build a box (sealed enclosure) for my sub (JL 12W0) about 2 years ago. I opened the box just now (removed the speaker) b/c I am planning on using the same box for my new sub, but I noticed he put like big sheet of 1" thick cotton in there. Is this...

The RMS on the Kicker 12" CompVR is 400 RMS. He is trying to buy an amp that won't break his wallet, so any suggestions on decent amps (which means please do not recommend RF, JL, etc.) that will get the job done? I was suggesting Kenwood, MTX, etc. Thanks..

thanks for the info man.

Ok, but then why do they have have ranges and specific sizes on their data sheets?

I am upgrading my JL 12W0 to the 12W3v2...I need to know if I can use my current box (sealed) from my W0 for my new W3. The stats from JL's page are below. 12W0 Box Size recommended: 1.5 cubic feet 12W0 Box Range: 1.0 - 1.5 cubic feet 12W3 Box Size recommended: 1.25 cubic feet 12W3 Box...

Ya I do agree that JL makes good products, which is why I'm sticking with them. I guess I was more curious as to how to find products that are equivalent? As George said above, everyone talks about the price on JL. I guess I have a hard time differentating one brand (with approximately the same...

This is some of the best response I've gotten on this subject...so let me try to get more info. out of you guys. First off, when you say SQ, are you talking about how cleanly/accurate it hits, how deep the bass is, or just the pure sound of the bass? Next, it does seem like the consensus is...

I will be getting a new JL 12W3v2 sub, mostly for the fact that I am familiar with JL subs. I have been reading quite a few forums over the past couple days and it seems that many people say that JL's are a bit overpriced, and you can get a comparable sub for much cheaper. My biggest concern...
