IMO: All round Subwoofers

richiepooh · Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:27 pm Post subject: IMO: All round Subwoofers

I've been into Car Audio Since 1996, and i've been trying to find out which Manufacturer has the best All Round, Everyday playing, SQ, and street base SUB.

MTX has my Vote.

Don't know bout you guys but this is my opinion.

From the original Terminator Series, Blue Thunder, Black Gold, Thunders my goodness they always made a great Product.

Keep it up MTX Wink

JL AUDIO.... All the way man...

They have a sub for every listener and for every application..

The W1s give a sweet low freq bas and doesnt need much power
The W3s give great lows and get pretty loud and require small enclosures
The W6 is an SQ dream come true
The W7 is an SPL monster (nice smooth lows)

Yet to try the new W0s but I am sure they will be as robust and deadly as the older ones.

If anyone is interested in JL Audio subs PM me for info, I have used a whole lot of them in the past couple years...

Audiopipe!

they have subs to meet every budget and need!

their TS line is extremely affordable and decent performers..

the TXX series is for those who want to make some noise..

they have dedicated SPL subs that do perform!

they also have a new SQ line (but i have no personal experience with those..)

they also have some pretty hott poster girls as well.. Mr. Green

"Best all round SUBWOOFER" i say has to go to TREO IMO...they cater for the small budget ppl as well as the heavy gunners....and their prices are good too...definately a brand to mention....

even the SSX has a very smooth roll off for a 2500rms sub Mr. Green

I guess the first question to ask is what entails an all round sub...

In my view its a sub that.
1. Does not require a refrigerator size enclosure
2. Is efficient enough to not need 1000watts rms to reach a decent sound level.
3. Not a one note wonder, must have a decent low range extension.
4. Must be well built to handle the environment of a car.

The sub that is available and fits all these criteria is the JL Audio W3 line...

Also the Orion XTR subs, and the image dynamics IDQ subs were good allround subs but they not around anymore (never used the newer models)

A list of the subs I have used are

Orion XTR3 10"
Orion 2NT 10"
Orion C series 12"
Orion Cobalt 10" (new model)
Image Dynamics ID MAX 12"
Image Dynamics IDQ 12"
JL Audio 12 W6 V2
JL Audio 10 W6 V1
JL Audio 10 W6 V2
JL Audio 10 W1 V2
JL AUdio 12 W0 V1
JL Audio 12 W3 V3
OZ Audio ME 10
Phoenix Gold Xenon 12"

And from the old days.... pyle driver 10" and 12", Sound barrier 12", Pioneer 12"
