Orion H2 vs JL w6

[SirClay 10+ year member]

Ok, I think I am just going to go with a JL w6 and try to get one for about $300 new off eBay. Should I go with a ported or sealed box? I listen mostly to rock...so would a ported box make it sound sloppy?

I think you can get an H2 for less (greater power handeling too)

Which means buying a bigger amp and spend more on that.

umm not really, 1200 is enough to move it nice

if you listen to rock, i would reccomend a sealed enclosure. it would have greater sound quality, a must for rock.

i have a 1000/1 on my h2. i would throw my diamond d5 1200.1 on it, but it puts out 1200 watts at 1 ohm and i have a dual 4 ohm sub. i could tell you what 600 watts does though.

^^ not much, should go at least 1kw

did you not just read what i wrote? i have a 1000/1 on it. unless you have personally experimented with an h2, you wouldnt know what it takes to get it to sound good.

i have a friend with a 12" w6v2 in the recommended jl enclosure with 600 watts and it's amazing. Very loud for one twelve, well just louder than i would have expected out of a w6v2. But this this has sweet sq. I would say that it is as good on sq as my magnum if not better. You won't be dissappointed with it... well if you get dissappointed by spending a lot of money you might.

i always like cheaper..... so i would say orion. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif i hate paying for a name. i didn't come close to paying half price for most of my stuff except the orions which i paid 3/4 of what ebay sells this stuff for. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I was going to buy my JL stuff off eBay because every other store has jacked up prices for JL. Im still thinking about getting orions...I am going to try and find the better deal between those.

that seems like a little too much power for a sub that can handle 400 watts rms. that is 25% more wattage than it can handle, i think.
