What are some good SQ subs?

SQ has more to do with the front stage than what sub you're using. The old W6 you have will be fine to use, the trick is making it blend with your front speakers to make it seem like the bass is coming from in front of you.

i've been playing around with different placements and tuning to accomplish this and I'm ALMOST there (especially with the w6 in ATM) I am deadening and sealing my doors tomorrow as well as dropping my new Memphis M-Class Comps in. Hopefully, I get the SQ I've been after for the longest.

That seems more SQL oriented than complete SQ. But seems like it'd sound pretty good

What the hell in that post made it sound like it was an SQL oriented system rather than an SQ oriented system? The fact that they were supercharged 2500s? Because there was a 3000w amp involved?

a bit from column A, a bit from column B

If you have the room, use the JL 12W6. Get a qualified acoustic engineer to design your enclosure. Let's see where you go with that suggestion.

Is that really necessary?

Anyone who agrees with that kind of baseless statement has no working knowledge on the subject with which to make a suggestion or lend weight to their opinion.

If you want your sub to accurately play a specified bandwidth in any specific vehicle and sound in phase with what your front stage is producing....yes. Try to get any of that from WinISD generated gump material.

 

[FtheNutHuggers]

You can make a 12W6 do an amazing job if you give the engineer enough room and a narrow enough bandwidth requirement.

you take this hobby way too serious

 

[FtheNutHuggers]

It's a hobby for those that consume. I'm not a consumer and the math behind what's really going on is seriously smothered by the overwhelming ignorance in the CAR audio industry. Don't take ignorance the wrong way, it's just the correct word for lack or knowledge about the subject at hand. When it becomes bad is when the initially ignorant are shown what is involved and they choose to propagate what they now know to be false.

I think that only happens when those people realize that the only real way to design is far beyond their capability or desire to reach. Other industries suffer the same: shade tree mechanics, garage recording studios, catastrophy rebuilding contractors etc.
