Hello, I was wondering whats the Best not second best 12" woofer out there that does not need any space at all to work and sound good in a ported or slotted fiberglass box. I got 1 Eclipse SW9122 TI in the trunk right know and the box is kind of big and heavy for my WRX STI!!

Low profile [mounting depth] ones? Are they any good?

I don't know how shallow the w6 is, but it only needs 1/2 a cube sealed, and subs can always be inverted.

Does it make a mayor Diff. between the 12" and 13" W6 Meaning size of box? IF I do go with the W6 I would have to get a new amp to only reason because I would kill the JL with it wont I??? I Guess Iwould have to run it at 550w X 1 @ 4OHM Right????//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

w6 isn't end all be all, there's some other options to look at.

diamond d6 or d9 would also fit the bill

there's no 'best' they're just all different

the w6 and d6 are more SQL oriented, where a w7 or D9 are more SPL oriented

If you're looking to keep the setup light, stay away from big woofers like a JL w6. They are pretty heavy subs! What kind of power would you like to run to the sub?

Im kinda in the same boat as you but,my problem is not weight its because i want to run a 3-4 sub setup but i dont have much space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Well I got the US Amps MD-2 Running a Eclipse SW9122 TI . But Power is not the Problem just space and if it ways a bit thats ok as long as I don't need a lot of space to make it work in a ported or slotted box I mean the Ti is 45 pounds it self!!! How much does the W6 weigh?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif
