I'm in the process of building my All JL Audio components build. I already have the C7 6.5'' midrange but getting the tweeters and 3'" has been a challenge. While I wait on back orders for those, which sub seems to compliment that setup the most? I'm going for SQL in my BRZ so you have an idea how much space I'm working with. Would the 13'' be too much? I was considering the 10'' but could go 8'' if that works best. I just need some advice on which would pair the best without mudding the vocals because I listen to all types of music. And without a demo available, I can't really get a feel in my head what I'm working with or what to expect. Any help is appreciated. Ty
@runnamuckdesigns88803 жыл бұрын
This is obviously a really late response but don't get a W7 if your going for sound quality. If you need something really loud that'll compliment your full range go with a W6 or a W3. You can get really low freq. with either of those if you don't mind giving up the space for the bass:) and are much more musical. the W7 is great for reliable big bass but isn't very musical.

I have a set of 12Tw3's in my truck and they sound as good as a full size sub and require less than 1cuft of space per sub. You will NOT be unhappy with the TW3's. They kick ass. And by the sounds of it you are limited in space.
