best bang for the dollar

[audiobahnuser18 5,000+ posts]

Alright guy's so i've narrowed it down to 3 diffrent subwoofers they would all be two 12's

JL audio W3v3s

Massive CW's

Or

Alpine Type R's

What's the best bang for the buck out of those 3 if you guy's have any suggestions let me know that's just what i've narrowed it down to. Looking to spend $200or$250 either each or pair if i could get pair that would be great but for a good pair of subs i doubt that would happen.

I'm not completely sure what that means, but if you're willing to spend $250 for a single sub, you have better options than the subs you listed, depending on what kind of sound you're aiming for.

JL ftw.

I cant say much.... But I can say I have a w1v2, and out of every sub I have heard in person (which isnt many btw, lol) mine is the best sounding.. its a 12 btw.

32tl like what other subs?

The CW's are better IMO due to the fact they can be reconed in about 5 minutes....kinda important if your into SPL and you are between runs and your sub blows, you can pop a recone in really easy. If you're not into SPL then maybe these arent for you.....but I got one pretty loud just off using a MTX1501d, id of probably been able to get more out of it with a bigger amp. But if you havent read my review and seen my video, you might want to check it out. Massive is a totally unappreciated company.

Surprised no one has hit on this one yet... what kind of amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif . Seriously though if you don't know what you have for power you should adress that first. Then go buy yourself some Type-R's and don't expect to be competitive.

Well what it is i'm just a beginer at SPL comp's and i was wondering what was good at Db races? for my like the middle class you know i know my friend can blow away his 2 12's he's got to polk momo's but then again i got my amp just set right. So im thinkn right now massive , Type R's or The JL Audio w3v3s.
