[QUOTE="chefboyrlee, post: 734392, member: 559441"] just so you know, i know little to nuthin bout car audio. i've always been into "go" over "show" when it comes to cars. so please excuse any ignorant statement that may come out in this post. now that that's said... on a side note, my friend has 2 12w6 in his escalade and i think they sound great. his sound is something very similar to what i aiming for in my car. i've done a little research comparing the specs of the fosgate 2212s with the JL 12W6. the specs are very similar... both speakers power handling RMS is listed at 400W. nominal impedance: the 2212 is listed at "4ohm x 2", and the W6 is listed at "Dual 4ohm"...i think thats the same right (just wanna be sure)? the sealed enclosures are both listed at 1.25 cubic ft. the only thing that is worrying me is the mounting hole diameter... the fosgate is listed at 11 1/8 inches while the JL is listed at 11 inches. since i have the fosgates, the box hole diameter will obviously be built 1/8 inch larger than the mounting diameter for the JL. i guess my first question would be will the JL mount in a hole that is 1/8 inch over sized? if the answer to this question is yes...disregard the next... second question, once a box has been made...is it possible to remove a portion of it? i.e. replace the piece of wood that holds the subs? or once it's made/glued sealed whatever..there is no turning back? i wish the fosgates were the smaller speaker, cuz logic tell me u can alway cut out a larger hole... thanx for any input [/QUOTE]
