So like the title say's what's better or what would you pick 3 jlw6v2 or 2 jlw6v2 in sealed box for a sedan.

2 12's

The surface area will be similar & the 12's won't need to work as hard down low...also easier to wire.

I wouldn't go JL, but 2 12"s.

i'd go with the 3 10s that's what i had, unless you can fit 3 12's go with the 10s. I don't mean to jack you but do any of you know the date the 12W0v2 is coming out?

10w6v2 effective piston area = 51.4 in^3, multiply that by 3 = 154.2 in^3

12w6v2 effective piston area = 77.8 in^3, multiply that by 2 = 155.6 in^3

So the 12's edge out the 10's in surface area & Xmax. So if both were given the same power, the 12's would be louder.

I don't want to open a can of worms & tell you how the 12's will have better SQ. But it seems rather simple to me, IMO the 12's will sound better & get louder (given the same power). Not to mention the funky Ohm load you'll get running 3 of those subs.

we're also forgetting motor force in this equation...
