I just bought this

JL Audio HO110 W6V3 Single 10W6V3 H O Wedge Ported 2

I bought it for much less though, I have it on a Alpine MRX-M100 amp. The speaker is wired to 2 ohms according to the shop I bought it at. I like it very much but worry I will blow it cause my amp is pretty powerful. I also wonder about this break in period, Im not used to it since I always rocked kickers L7 etc. without a concern about breaking it in. What do yall think? I replaced my L7 12'' kicker for this JL audio, would you have done the same?

 
Non of those listed will do what a W6 will do. Compare it where it belongs and it's cheap. Good choice if you are looking for sound quality. Bad choice if you are looking for output.

isn't it a matter of install?

The xcon sounds really good in the right box

A turd can only be polished so much. The W6 has been on of the top SQ subs for a very long time. If its used how its intended its hard to beat. $600 is not that much more than its worth considering its $400 plus on most iffy websites for just the sub. $500 on better sites.

 
What could I have gotten better for 600$?
actual monsters like this Sundown Audio Zv4-12 1750W Zv4 Series - SSA STORE

rather then JL which is just overpriced SQ oriented, low output subs.

however, if you get that sub, you'll need a monster amp and a custom enclosure. That thing can take a lot of power and blow apart any prebuilt sub box with ease. You'll also need sound deadening and flex control because of how violent the bass will be.

 
I paid 520 out the door and the box is made by JL with a pretty impressive internal design . It is extremely clean but I feel a lack in output. I plan on bringing it to the shop where I bought it and they are gonna tune my amps. I can still get a refund but not sure I want to. The L7 rocked the block but the sq on the JL is not comparable to L7, JL is so much cleaner. I don't know yet though, even though I paid 520 even part of me wonder is I over paid. I really can't find this box and woofer on line for 520 even so that makes me feel kinda better. Love everyone's input, the more the marrier.
