comparison

I have a 13w7 at 1,000 w and I feel like a 12 w7 at 1000 watts would sound much better considering the 13w7 needs 1500 watts the get to its full potential. thoughts? I'm just really not impressed with the 13 I got to admit.

I'm thinking of replacing my factory door speakers with Prv speakers. Are they as good as Morel , Hertz ?

size between the two is 25mm vs 28mm. Are there any other differences. Going off axis in 3 way active front stage

I have a JL 13w3v3 on Arc KS300.2v3, do you think the Sql 12 will sound better on the same amp?

I installed Rockford Fosgate P1675-S in the front doors and I don’t mind telling you…the factory Boston Acoustics sound sooooooo much better! I didn’t care for them after I installed them thinking I had to make some adjustments, but no. .so I did a side by side sound comparison and the clear...

Every shop in San Diego sells the crap out of focal flax 3 way components. But nobody has them on display to demo. I’ve always been a fan of bright tweeters… Have a shop where I demo’d some hertz Millie pro which I liked hands down over the more expensive legends. I’m torn!!! I get it’s...

Hi, I was looking at a pioneer DEX-P99rs head unit,when I came across the Pioneer Carrozzeria DEH-P01 Head unit.When I look at both the head units. They both look pretty much identical except one says Carrozzeria on the outside.The other one just says Pioneer DEXP99RS on it Are they the exact...

I currently have a Kicker comp c 10. It's powered by a Kicker 500.1 amp. I'm trying to determine if it's worth it to switch the sub for a JL 10W1v3-4. The sub is in a down firing sealed box with 0.74 cu ft. The vehicle is a crew cab Silverado. I just swapped all the other speakers out with...

This is a comparison of these two subs in ported enclosures built by the manufacturers. You will see a system overview, DSP overview, and a metered SPL test on both sets of subs. Equipment will be listed at the end of this. The tests were conducted with each pair of speakers running at 1-Ohm...

First set are a DD audio 1112 (https://ddaudio.com/1100-series/hi-def-tuned/1112/)series 4 ohm. Second set are the Jl audio 12 w3v3 4 ohm https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13612W3V34/JL-Audio-12W3v3-4.html. just need a bit of input on which I should get. Amp I'll be using is the Rockford Fosgate...

Getting this installed tomorrow, the shop has my Alpine PXE-C-60-60 DSP, so it is not pictured here. The JLs are in a ported enclosure built by JL tuned to 33hz. The Alpines are also in an Alpine ported enclosure tuned to 35hz. I don't think the tuning will make much of a difference. I will...

I think the Surge cost more, but both are pretty much the same price. I know the Taramps is supposed to do more power, but I keep seeing people saying that the Surge seem to hit harder than Brazilian. I'm running 2 Sundown x12v3s. I'm not really looking at the Surge 7k because it is $350 more

I have a dual 2 ohm 10" Kicker CompR on a Kicker 46CXA400.1T (400x1@1 ohm). Overall I'm happy but I'm wondering if I should move up to a 12"? I'm specifically looking at the Rockford Fosgate P2 dual 2 ohm 12". It'll work with both my amp and enclosure (Ram 1500 Fox Acoustics enclosure). I...

I have been in the game a LONG time and have always run JL W6s. I am putting a new system into a BMW 330XI GT, and stopped down to talk to the owner of our local shop, I have known him for some time, but he does not have JL. He was trying to talk me into the Alpines, saying they wound just as...

Anyone have any comparison between the two?

I had a Planet Audio head unit in.my car and really liked it. Until the buttons screwed up and it crashed. Now I have a Power Acoustik but i also have another Planet Audio. Any recommendations on which one is better? I'd love to have a pioneer or some of the higher end brands but for now these...

Which of these amps is better? And does anyone know why the Memphis VIV series is getting discontinued?

I was wonder which one of these amplifiers has the better sound quality at 2 ohms? First up is the JL Audio RD1000/1. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13698617/JL-Audio-RD1000-1.html?tp=35834 The second amp its the Rockford Fosgate Power 1000...

Hello all Well, I thought I had everything planned out for purchase for my new install. THOUGHT being the key word! I was all but completely sold on Focal ISU-690. And I have only heard Focal’s once and I am sure they were not the entry level models. But those had to be the best car audio...

So I'm stuck between the avatar stu 12 or a refurbished sundown xv3 12, both about the same price.

Looking to buy: Taramps 5000K Smart Bass. Or Digital Designs M 5000. What is the pros and cons between them? Taramps 5k Smart Bass looks good for under 500. Digital Designs M5000 looks promising for 1,300. My Subs: (1) DD9518 SC (2) SSA Zcon 12s.

JBL BassPro Nano or JBL BassPro light? I will buy one but which one is the best of both?

for those that had ran both brands and model, which one would you rather prefer for the price between $999-$1,200 sub. I’m looking at Rockford T2 13 inch and a DD 9512. Which one will sound better and worth the $$$.

I’m in the process of changing my audio system in a car I’ve just bought. I’ve bought a Pioneer ts-wx12108 sub. I’m just deciding between the car door speakers. It’s between the Rainbow EL-C260E and the Alpine S2-S65. Worth noting my mechanic whose going to install it will do me a deal on the...

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the RF P 1675 vs the T 1675. What did you hear as differences between the two or lack there of?

So my two kenwood 4ohm kfc-xw120 12s just gave up the ghost and I am trying to decide whether to use two KICKER - CompR 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 2-Ohm Subwoofer in my old bassworx ported box or spend a little more and get a KICKER - Solo-Baric L7S 12" 2-Ohm ported Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure. I’m...

Hi everyone, Before I get started, for reference: Vehicle-1994 Chevy Caprice 9C1 Electrical - stock, 1/0 from battery to amp, grounded to trunk floor, needs big 3 or more but suffices for now Amp - Wolfram Audio 2400.1d (has clipping indicator bass knob!), subsonic 10hz, hpf max Woofers -...

I am looking for a 10" sub for a sealed box of about .8 cu ft. I am interested in about a 70/30 sq/spl mix for less than $250 new. I have browsed the forums extensively, and learned a lot about many brands that i have never heard of. I made a large list, and narrowed it down based on...

Review of Subwoofer or Speaker: CVR12 vs AW1200Q vs 12W1v2-4 Ever wonder how your old school subs stack up to a newer one? Here is a real world test of three subs put in the exact same box run by the exact same amp and head unit. The two boxes are sealed and are about 1.60 ft3 with out the...
