Hey, just looking for opinions here, no jl haters pls. i like my subs and think they sound great..but i feel like i need a little change possibly.....

So question, would it be worth for me to go to 2 12" RE SE subs from my current 2 12w3's?

i have an alpine 1507 well over 900wrms at 4ohms...so id have the power to push the RE's..

just wondering what everyone elses thoughts would be. tnx!

IMO I don't think you will see much difference between those 2 particuliar drivers, then again I can't say that definitively. I would say if you are looking for a change, then build a different enclosure for those W3's and experiment. A different enclosure will be a bigger difference than a lateral move in drivers.

Might be fun to try something new, that's up to you. If you are paying much money,if any,(after you sell your subs) to switch to the se's I wouldnt do it. oh and 1000 watts isnt really that much power for the se's. I think the jls would like that power more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

I had 2 12w3v2 run off 600 watts in their own 2ft^2 enclosures tuned to 30hz and they were awesome. Definately still mainains sq while getting loud.

yeah get a ported box. That will definetly change the sound..Hell get a bos with an adjustable port.
