New member Username: Coolmatt420Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-09 | hey everyone, new to this site and wondering if people had their opinions on these two subs. i can get the re audio se12 for 99 or the jl 12w3v3 for 130. im looking for something that can get loud as well as sq. i listen to a lot of rap but do also listen to everything else. been trying to do a lot or research and it seems that re is very good in how low it will get and the sq as well. i dont live anywhere near a place i can test out which would be optimal. i dont have anything yet but this is what im planing on so far. Hifonics BXi 608 amp -mono 600rms at 1oms Hifonics TXi 6408 amp-4chan 170rms x4 at 2oms cdt ef61fg/t25 -6.5 components with 1" silk tweet at 175 per channel cdt cs 6x9 fills for rear re audio se12 or jl 12w3v3 |

Try it in ~2.25cuft tuned to around 32hz on paper. You will get great lows and it will be relatively loud (depending on vehicle). Also, w/ the RE...if you ever mess up and blow it, it can be reconed. |
New member Username: Coolmatt420Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-09 | @ bcs- thank you. i will prob go with the re since ive heard great things about them, its cheaper, and weighs more so im thinking it will hit harder (larger magnet) and ive learned i can re-cone it. ill probably start ordering on monday. |

Silver Member Username: WickedbassNashville, Tn Post Number: 351 Registered: Jan-08 | ^^^Haha, dude don't worry about it man this forum has nothing! And as far as the RE v. JL question I cannot make a recomendation between the two since I have not heard both. But I did have a JL 13w3v3 and loved it. Sounded great and got decently loud for what it was. Just my 2 cents. |
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 2737 Registered: Dec-06 | Matt, I'm curious as far as where to get the RE as well. I'm in the market for a 10" SE |

Bronze Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 83 Registered: Dec-08 | IMO if you can get an SE15 for as much as a W3 12, i would go with the 15 all day. |

Post Number: 14669 Registered: Jul-05 | wow thats a gr8 price ! - 4 of those off a kicker 2500d in a sealed box would be some sick looooows ! ... i bet a few other ppl on here would jump on that offer i only have 2 10s RE SE & its enough for me ... |
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 2738 Registered: Dec-06 | Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the 10" is more expensive |

Silver Member Username: Blazerboy15 $$D wangi... Post Number: 613 Registered: Jun-06 | 10-$160 12-$100 15-$135 Some interesting prices. I'm thinking my next set-up is going to be either a 10" or 12" Se on AQ 1200D. Still deciding on sealed or ported. How does that sound? |
Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 149.5 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 14671 Registered: Jul-05 | usually 10s in most brands r slow sellers so i bet they probably wanted to clear out some stock ... |
New member Username: Coolmatt420Post Number: 6 Registered: Jan-09 | well i passed on both and ordered a fi bl15. with a hifonics ZXi 1006. what im reading and hearing is that these subs are great. gonna wait and save up some more on the components. tomorrow im going to see how big of a ported box i can fit in my trunk. first time building a box, going to read up on how to do it proper. anyone have any tips that i should know about |
Silver Member Username: Pbplayer05Omaha/council bluffs, Iowa Post Number: 812 Registered: May-07 | that amps probably not gunna be enough for that bl and how good is that site they have some nice prices on the us amps merlin series |

New member Username: Coolmatt420Post Number: 7 Registered: Jan-09 | well i upped the amp a little to a HIFONICS BXi1206D which is 1200rms, at the same place for $2 more. yeah i was thinking the same thing after reading that the bl takes alot of power. |
