Which subwoofer would you recommend between these?

[JLBAMA 10+ year member]

hey guys, i've done some looking around on the forum but can't decide exactly which 10" subwoofer to go with. I've kinda narrowed it down to these three but i'm open for suggestions if you guys have anything better. I'm only going to be pushing around 500 watts to it and it will be ported. I'm looking for something around the $150 to $200 range. I appreciate any comments on these subs and any others you might suggest. Thanks in advance.

how much power and room do you have to work with?

also what are you trying to accomplish, SPL or SQ?

 

[JLBAMA 10+ year member]

500-550 watts, around 2 cu. ft. and probably more towards SPL but wouldn't mind some good SQ as well.

SPL I would go Kicker, SQ I would go Soundsplinter.

ditch the w3v3. I heard one sealed with gains set correctly. Sounded like ***.

Yeah i kinda figured everyone would tell me to ditch it out but i was gonna go ahead and throw it out there anyways. Any other suggestions.

sound splinter #1 choice, kicker #2 choice, jl for last choice. (this is for spl, it would be very close between the sound splinter & the kicker)

get a DD 1510 It would make you way happier than those choices //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah i know that's my dilemma. As soon as i figure out which subwoofer i wanta go with i can start building the enclosure. I've already decided on the amp (kicker 550.3) to go with my PG RSD 6.5's and whatever sub. Any other suggestions on subwoofers besides these two would also be appreciated.

If it were me I would buy the soundsplinter

Huh Digital Design? I didn't even think about them. How much power are you running to yours?

Any reason why exactly?
