For SQ and loud, I love my RE SEs. 12 or 15 would do great. Also a nice sub perfect for 800 would be an MB quart PWE-352. Again, depending on your box, 12 or 15. If you port, do 32 or 33 hz. Thats gonna still give you volume, but also sound good.

No.

I would recommend the RE SE's. Just go with 1 12". Will get loud and sound good.

 

[tylork92 10+ year member]

would just one 12" sound better than 1 15" L5?...because i already have that sub.

an Re is gonna sound night and day better than an L5 bro, not even a comparison to be made really, oh this L5 sounds like ***, and the RE is accurately reproducing bass frequencies - hmm

JL w0 are crap for the amount of $$ JL wants.

for under 200 you could do a pair of PG RSD -C10 they sound good and would love to split 1k.

i herd a l5 12 on 1 voicel coil that sounded nice

its all on the settings and filters on the amp and deck throwing too much volume and or gain will not do any good

i have a sub volume control now and i dont like to turn it up past a nice clear level dosent get any louder any way

geat a remote bass knob and youll know what i mean....unless you amp is set/utting out the right amount of power

you best bet is to do 1-12 off of 1000watts.

the RE-Se peaks @ 1200, so make sure you built the right box for them, sealed that sub go low & have good cone control,in ported boxed box that sub will go low & still have good cone control & plus be much louder, the bass should feel like it ripping your back out from you.

just dont clip that sub, & you should be a happy camper
