New system tell me what you think.

[Rockguy475 10+ year member]

Hey guys, first of all I'm pumped about being back on the forums and getting back into car audio. Was in a pretty bad wreck 4 years ago and my car was totaled and I lost everything!!! Im ready to system up again (so tired of listening to my stock setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif very depressing) Just ordered my new setup (its all in my signature) and got everything including the wiring for about $1500. Will be installing hopefully by this coming sunday as long as everything comes in on time. Please tell me what you think. Please no negative comments on the JL.... i see a lot of hate on them here but iv always been a fan and they have never let me down......besides maybe costing too much at times..... but hey if you really enjoy a hobby why not spend a lil extra to make yourself happy?

As long as the box it built properly, everything should sound great.

Im really hoping so. The box is the only thing that has come in so far. Got it from speakerboxesusa.com Its costumed built for a 12w6v2 so I think it should be fine.

Is it the new w6? JL says they're only supposed to be used in sealed boxes

You paid too much but should be ok I suppose

its the JL12w6v2 for 4 ohms..... pretty sure a ported box will be fine

yeah, the v2 will be okay. But the new v3 JL says should only be used in a sealed box.

 

[Rockguy475 10+ year member]

good to know i didn't realize that..... why is that? was the v3 actually designed for a sealed encloser?

For 1500 you coulda got way louder. But as long as your happy.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Oh ya I'm sure I will be. Loudness isn't as important to me as a good sounding quality system. My last one was all jl and I loved it. It's actually pretty similar but instead of 1w6 I was pushing 2w3s

That's a lie. The new W6 is essentially a W7 with a smaller motor and different surround.
