Ill take some Arc Flatlines over W7s all day everyday, no matter what the purpose. They out do them in just about every way possible. But thats crazy, would not think shallow mounts would be even close to some W6s, when the W6s are so highly praised.
U live in Canada, you are excluded from this argument... Lol. But I think it is easy to piece together an incredible system for less than $3k. Its not gotta be world class, cuz of course some W6s and some XR components are not world class, if that was the case he should have some W7s and some ZR components. Not sure how many layers of deadner you have, but Im pretty sure most can get away with 2 or 3 rolls of AT 80 mil, at most.
Oh, so basically you went unnecessarily overboard... That makes more sense. You could get some camping mat instead of MLV, which is hella cheap. Not sure what ensolite is tho.
Took me 100sq ft on just the roof to stop the sound. It's not really overboard. I've got about a grand in deadener too. I actually see $3600 as a fair price for 2 12s, just not 1000w + the output 2 JLs would do. I'm no SQ person, so $3600 for 2500-300w, 2 12s, HO alt, batteries, deadener, HU, box, mids/highs, mids/highs amp sounds fair.
Curious as to why you think a tw5 would not compare to a w6? The TW5s are extremely impressive drivers
Bahahaha, are you serious? They are alomst the exact same material... The outside coating is a little different, that is it. Makes no sense to be mad, cause you overpaid... All, MLV is anyways is a noise barrier... Many things can be used for this.
Maybe impressive for what they are, but no way would I think that a shallow mount could compete with a full sub. That technology needs to be used by all companies, and just make regular subs obsolete.
Yea I hear you, and the W7s are great subs, no doubt about that. I am just not impressed by any JL product because of the price, but used prices are great. I heard the W6s last night, and they were alright. I mean he said his gains were down, so maybe thats why they didnt impress me, but they didnt sound anywhere near the iDMax I used to have or the Arc Flatline. I am gonna talk to him about getting a ported box built, it is currently sealed, but my iDMax was sealed and my OZs are sealed as well, so I am basing my comparisons off of spec sealed boxes.
