JL12W6 vs OZ AUDIO Matrix Elite vs ALpine Type R

[otofmyway6 10+ year member]

Hey everyone. I am wondering...whats better? A JL 12W6, Alpine Type R 12", or OZ Audio Matrix Elite 12? I have a Profile California 600SX Mono amp and I am looking to get 1 sub. I already have two sealed boxes...one is .8cu ft and the other is 1.2 cu feet. I've heard great things about the Type R, and sometimes i hear that hte JL is overpriced for what it is, but I think it sounds great whenever i hear it. I've never heard of the OZ Audio Matrix Elite, but my friend is willing to sell me his slightly used one for $140. I can find the Alpine for around ~$110 shipped, and I haven't seriously looked into the JL for pricing yet, but I do like it. I woudl also consider the 12w3 if it was decent. However, I am very curious to know about the OZ series. I searched and didnt find anything. I may just be dumb too. Let me know what you guys think is best for me. Oh yea, I'm aiming for good SQ with some good punch. Thanks!

I think the Jl subs are great, just like Jmac, but they are insanely overpriced....

hmmm...after a bit more reading, i wonder how 3 or 4 of the RE8's powered be the above amp would sound? I think pricewise it'd be about the same. I wonder how hard it would hit and how good it would sound though? Thanks

^^^^ read around about the RE8's there are plenty of posts about them...but i have 4 powered by a 600 MSX at 2 ohms. They are gettin about 100 watts a piece and sound very good...they can get low also
