[QUOTE="rlcowboy, post: 2850128, member: 572296"] He is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Dude the 12W6 is a SOUND QUALITY sub woofer! Eric Holdaway ,with CA&E, said the 12W6 is the best sounding sub woofer that he has tested! I listen to the same music u do plus throw in some country and I'm on my third enclosure with my W6's. The first was a JL box witch I had when I was just using one 12W6.It gave me some tight,natural sounding bass! Then I got the second so I let my buddy talk me into building a ported box. It was loud but the sound quality that the w6 is know for was NOT there. I just finished my current enclosure about 2 weeks ago. It's a 2.5 cu. ft. sealed box and I'm VERY HAPPY with it! I was at my buddy's house yesterday & I had in a Nickleback disc. One of his neighbors from two houses down came over just to see what speakers I had. He was saying how these days when u hear a loud system that all u mostly hear is boom & more boom but how impressed he was with how all the different frequencies blended together so well & how the bass sounded tight and natural instead of just loud "BOOM". Don't let the sealed enclosure fool u though, when I dropped the second W6 in & the second 500/1 we tested the SPL with a SPL meter, with the mic at the windshield, and I hit 148.3!! Not too shaby at all if u ask me! Now I had the amps turned up a little more than I usually do just to see what kind of SPL I have. Bottom line is this- u have a VERY nice sound quality sub woofer, why not put it in an enclosure that will let it do what it's made to do, you WON'T be disappointed! [/QUOTE]
