Your favorite 12" subs ???

{note I said, "your favorite"... and not "the best" I'm not trying to start a war, here }


Given equal points for;

1) SQ

2) efficiency

3) durability

4) value

Also (for my purposes here) consider that I'm looking for mid power level speakers which will recieve about 300wts continuous, and 600peak.
It might not matter if they are dual VC or not, just as long as I can get two 4ohms, to be ran in a 2 ohm config.

I've been kind of leaning towards Kickers, or Rockford's.... but even so, which ones ? .....or, another brand altogether ?

Thank you,
Fish

PS, I would really only consider the lesser known brands, if one of the gurus here, or several of you, recommended it "over" the top known brands, based on my criteria above.

 

Right on....

thanks guys. I will go look specifically at those Kicker L5 D2's, and also the JL 12W6's

So what brand are these 4 13kv.2's that you guys mention ? I'll try to find them, by that alone... Because like I say, I'm totally open minded about this. I've been away from high performance stereos for so long, I'm just clueless....

Peace,
Fish

 

Wow !!!

Okay first off, I checked out the Kicker L5's.... Square subs !?!? Okay, of course I've seen these before, and always wondered how they performed. Pretty darn good reviews ! A little more than I wanted to pay... but not way out of the question....

Now, those JL 12W6's had better be good subs, at $350 each ! Those are way out of my price range.

So yes, I found this little vid about the 13Kv.2's

Granted, the guy is talking about his own product But he sounds pretty convincing. They sound like a real bargain.... Maybe I'll get 10 of them ...just kidding.

Hey cccullen, I'm totally anxious to hear how those work out for you. BTW, have you decided what type, and what size box your going to run these in ? The guy in the vid talks about how small a box they work in... ported band-passed, or sealed....

Very interesting

Thanks guys,
Fish

 

Okay so....

I was about to ask (since these subs seem to work well in smaller boxes, plus, are reasonbly priced) if this company made a 15" sub... But then I just went and found it. A little more pricey since its in the Ov series, but here's what I'm really tripping on.... The spec sheet says the 15"s weigh 56 lbs !!! Tell me that just a typo !

So, how in the heck.....

can anybody make a decent subwoofer for this price ???

Almost seems too cheap, to be confident in.

Oh... and another thought.... they make these in 8" too, huh ? Those should make good mid-bass drivers, in a small sealed enclosure...

Hmmmmmm.......
