JBL W12 Gti MK2

[ill-D 10+ year member]

Did any one get a chance to hear one of those in action?

i was planning to buy one, SQ purpose

but a friend of mine recommended me the IDMAX, while another friend said i should go with a JL W6v2.

how does the JBL rank with those subs?

anything else you would recommend for SQ purpose?

my budget is around 700 (just for the sub)

i was also looking at the Pheonix Ti's Mag...how are they compared to the ones i mentioned?

I have heard multiple setups with the Gti, including an infiniti that was completely setup to compete in SQ. They are very good sounding subs and could def be used in an SQ app, however both the idmax and W6 are very excellent SQ subs as well. If you're looking to sometimes get loud as well, I'd bet the Gti and IDMAX can get louder than the W6.

yea my question is I know the sub is rated 650-4000 watts rms...so how is it going to perform with just maybe 1000-1500 watts?

A guy I'm friends with has a pair of the 15's in his Tahoe, 10 cubes ported tuned to about 32 hz, off of a Memphis 4kw, and it's retarded loud, although it suffers on the upper end a bit, it's an absolute beast between 30-50 hz. I'm sure that sealed they'd sound a lot better, but ported they are LOUD.

i was planning on getting the JBl BPX500.1, would you recommend something else?

I ran one W10GTi (MKI) in 1.75cf (double-baffle) tuned to 27Hz off only a 601.1

Currently still the best overall sub setup I have owned. Gets loud and the SQ is top notch.

The BPX should work fine

the W12GTI is a great overall sub....... i was VERY happy with it while i had it installed.
