JL New 13TW5

[kmu 10+ year member]

here's my ? 1000/1 and a 12w7 ported or 1000/1 and four 13tw5's sealed? what do you guys think?

4 13tw5 of course no doubt... But why give the tw's half of its rated power?

looking at the jl power level graph for this speaker, 250w is just under the optimum power (looks like 300-325 is perfect).

Just went into RE site, its an awsome looking sub, anyone heard it? is it a SQ, SPL or SQL sub? How would it compare to the jl tw5?

How much is it?

You think they designed and built a slim-line SPL sub? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
People are getting way too hung up on these terms anymore. Its like, if someone builds an SPL rig and it doesn't hit the numbers they want, they tell everyone its SQL. Or someone builds a setup with dual 15's on strapped 3000 watt amps and calls it SQ. Silliness. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I have dual 12's on 1000 watts, is it an SQ setup? Yes, the way I have it adjusted it is, can it also be an SPL setup? Yes, if I turn the sub level up then it is definitely an SPL set up. You can have both in the same setup if you adjust it right.

No, you can't. There is more to an SQ versus SPL setup than where you set your gains. You would, at very least, need to be running an interchangeable port setup before id even consider agreeing that your system is 'both'. Not to down your system in any way, Im sure its nice.
But in the end, we are arguing semantics. I have no link to a definition of an SPL setup. So like I said, in the end its all in what the owner wants to call it. Silly as it may be.

BTW, 1000 watts on two 12's is a far cry from the example I gave.

True, but it isn't traditional SQ. And yes, you are right, mine is an SQ setup that just so happens to be pretty **** loud. I built the box to Nick's spec's which were geared for SQ.
