Whats exactly wrong with Kicker & JL?

i was wondering about that as well, i have no experience with the tc stuff though so I couldnt comment. I just see the w6 as being pretty hard to beat in SQ
re xxx, jbl gti, fi q, shiva x2, idmax, sundown z, all subs id get over w6 for sq and same price or cheaper

oh yea and a dayton will kill a w6 sound quality wise and a shiva x2 easily will kill it completely sq wise just not as loud.
I run daytons and they do not "kill" the w6. Better sq wise? Yes IMO alot ccheaper? Yes. I will claim all of that. Even tho I liked some aspects of the w6 over my Daytons. Not one of those oother subs would I even consider for SQ over the w6....maybe the Shiva.

Regardless, the norm has been to say "plenty of subs will KILL JL for much less" still no proof of this. Being that some aspects of SQ are subjective, though, one could like the subscribe you mentioned over tthe w6, but the fact that it has a JL badge on it shouldn't be the reason people are told to completely stay away from JL. To say there's much better for much lless is simply untrue.

Edit: I also had a Fi Q and....kill the w6 in SQ? Gtfo.

We're not talking about getting loud while sounding good. True SQ!

Its not untrue. The XXX, JBL MKiii, Stereo Integrity Subs, Creative Sound Solutions XBL^2 subs, any TC subs, Boston G5's, are just more than a handful.

 
no tc sounds sub is even as good as the w6 in true sq, neither is the XXX. I wouldn't consider the Brahma either. The SI has a chance, that's about it out of your list. We aren't talking sounds good with an extended low end, we mean sq. IE flat response and most of all transparency.

 
If only I had the response curve for that.

Im well aware of what defines an SQ system.

Add the DIYMA R12 to the list as well.

 
Its simple really. Kicker your paying for the name. Sure their amps do rated power, but for a 2500wrms amp you pay $670 online price. An Audioque 2200 goes for $429.00. Dang near the same wattage rms for $240 less.
JL audio same thing. You pay for the name. There are plenty of subs out there that crush the W6 and W7 in SQ and output for a fraction of the cost. Anything TC based for example unless you get way up into the custom LMS 18's and stuff. Their amps are the same way. 1000wrms (Slash 1000/1) for $600? Dont think so. You can get an equal or better amp for half that price.

Point being you can get equal or better gear for less. The only thing you pay for is the badge.

while I'd love to try a DIYMA R12, i still dont think its "much better" nor does it "kill" JL. not one sub listed on this thread meets those standards! So, still, saying theres much better for much less is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif

Your wasting your time. The OP obviously knows way more than the rest of us considering he has heard like 3 subs. All being Dayton and JL.

still call BS on the XXX sub

Morel is not cheaper than the w6.

heard an IA flatlyne and was pretty impressed...still not "much better" nor does it "crush" the w6 or even beat it for that matter

cant comment on the JBL

I cant comment on the sound of the hertz sub, but Hertz is definitely not cheaper than JL. If JL is overpriced, so is Hertz.

umadbro? all i asked for was someone to name one sub that is "much better" than the w6 or "crushes" it for "way less". You cant name one so now you're mad. oh well.... Ish happens bro.

 
the xxx destroys the w6 in every matter,, have you heard the old xxx ssub wow.

hertz is not overpriced, you get a top of the line sub, jl cant even be put near it.

and overall if i want a sq sub completely sq, id get a xbl2 sub first and formost

 
Not to mention that some of the subs you guys are naming now actually cost MORE than the JL w6....but hey, that has no relevance right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suicide.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
