JL Audio ?? Four 8" W3s or Two 10" W6

What will sound better? They both require about the same amount of total space also.

Four 8" W3s or Two 10" W6

Thanks!

How much are you paying for the W6's? Look into Digital Designs, Audioque, Fi, DC Sound Labs, Sundown, and many more obscure brands.

I can get the 10" for about $210 each.........I get close to cost on theses.

The MAIN issue is weight and the 10" W6 are a little under 15lb each. Most other woofers that are comparable are a lot heavier.

Thanks!

I love smaller subs so I would say go with the 4 8"s. I have heard 4 8" w3s in a gto before and it sounded great. It was decently loud and had very tight punchy bass.

JL HD 750 but might switch to the HD 1200

either way you look at it it's going to be heavy. I would do 2 10's

I think I might try 2 of the DD1500 10" ...........How do they compare to a 10" IDQ?

I totally understand there is better stuff out there especially for the $$ than JL Audio.

Weight is an issue and the HD JL amps are small.........I have the HD600 on my 3way Dynaudios and sound pretty clean.

Thanks for all the info!
