Like an old NEW 12 w3 and a new 12w1??? or a old used 12w3 and a new new 12w1?? Or an old used 12w3 and an old new 12w1??

I would go with the 12w3 if it is new (but just the old look)

I would go with the 12w1 if it is new (and the the 12w3 is used)

I would go with the 12w3 if they are both used.

I meant that both are in "used condition"

But the JL W3 is the older model and the JL W1 is the newer model.

the w3

But the JL W3 is the older model and the JL W1 is the newer model.

Which "older" W3? The original W3, or the W3v2? both are predecesors of the new W3v3.

If the W3 is the original, the new W1 will sound better. It's newer technology, has had the motor DMA optomized and has many of the stuff developed on the W6 and W7's, just less power handling capablity.

The W3 will handle more power, bout 100w more I believe.

If the W3 is v2...then there is no doubt, the W3v2. This is a stout sub for the price. Put two of them on 500w continuous and it will sound great and be stupid loud. I had it in a S-10 blazer and it pounded.

I dunno, to me they were. 144db's I hit with them on a 500/1. Each in its own ported box.

It was loud enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You've never heard stupid loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I guess not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif. For everyday use, they were plenty loud. That's all I was tryin to say. It's not the end all be all, but they were pretty **** loud.

Yeah 144db is loud.
Stupid loud was like the time I put my head in a van with 24 10" BTLs playing 'in the air tonight', chopped and screwed.

Ok...yeah...that would be "stupid" loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
