Hertz or JL?
|
New member Username: GrampaPost Number: 3 Registered: Dec-08 | Hi all, I'm looking at getting a good SQ sub that has a quite linear frequency response which can very nicely reproduce the deeper frequencies aswell. I also want it to go quite loud when i wanna crank it sometimes. It doesn't have to be overly powerful though because I'd only be running it off my Alpine MRP-350 amp (350watts 2 ohm, 200watts 4 ohm). Although I'm thinking of upgrading my amp aswell but for now that's what I'd be using. Anyway I wanna get a boxed sub as i have never made my own box before lol so it would just be much easier for me. I was wondering if anyone has had much experience with Hertz subs? The one i'm looking at is this one: http://www.hertzaudiovideo.com/Doc/st_energy_ebx300r.pdf How would it compare to these JL subs? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136S112R12/JL-Audio-CS112RG-W1v2.html ?showAll=N&tp=112 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136P11212/JL-Audio-CP112G-W1v2.html?showAll=N&tp=11 2 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136S112R33/JL-Audio-CS112RG-W3v3.html?showAll=N&tp= 112 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136P11312/JL-Audio-CP113G-W1v2.html?showAll=N&tp=11 2 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_136S210R12/JL-Audio-CS210RG-W1v2-2.html?showAll=N&t p=112 Also not sure if a sealed or ported box would be better for what I want. Sorry I'm a bit of noob lol. (My amp is probably way underpowered for most of these subs too =/ but as I said, I'll upgrade it if I have to.) Anyway which of all these do you think would be best for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Get their new high energy stuff or their mille ml series. Here is the sub I recommend. I'm personally getting 2 hertz mille ml 3000 12" subs or the hertz mille ml 3800 15" subs. My friend is a dealer and can get the best prices, if your interested shoot me an email and I'll get you in touch with him. joshualittle1982@yahoo.com. |

New member Username: GrampaPost Number: 4 Registered: Dec-08 | Ok thanks man, but I don't wanna be spending too much money so maybe I should just stick with some of the lower end JL enclosed subs (W1 or W3 series). Would they still sound pretty good? Or this hertz one?: http://www.raysmith.co.uk/Subwoofers/Enclosed-Subs/HBX250DS/ Is that any good? It's DVC so it would get the most out of my amp which would be a nice bonus. Except it's probably too expensive for me still. |

Silver Member Username: Scab12886Post Number: 171 Registered: Oct-04 | i have a 10 inch W3 in a sealed box and i love it. its my first sub so i can't really say if its better or worse than anything else, but in my opinion its very accurate and can get loud enough if wanted. i was looking for SQ also and that sub covered my needs and wasn't very expensive. no experience with hertz stuff, so not sure how to compare..but i'm enjoying my 10 W3. hope this helps a little, good luck with your decision. |

New member Username: GrampaPost Number: 5 Registered: Dec-08 | Thanks for your input  that's nice to know. I'm thinking for accuracy on a small budget a sealed box is probably the way to go. |

Bronze Member Username: JoshualittleColumbus, Ohio United states Post Number: 20 Registered: Dec-08 | Yea I highly recommend either sub, I don't think you could go wrong either way honestly. I would probably go with the w3 series. And here it is pretty cheap. I've shopped at this place before too, they have good customer service.http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=7865 |
