dam thats a pretty expensive sub!

you get what you pay for

yeh? i might have to start saving then!

It's a good sub though. I'm running one myself

yeah? how much power u running to it?

oh and also have u got ported or sealed box?

Sealed box.
500 quality watts from a Zapco amp.

are they more suited to sealed?

Have you finalised your decision on the sub choice? There are cheaper alternatives with just as good results.

i havnt made a final decision!

just trying to research a bit before i buy!

got any recommendations?

well for JL sub i recommend u buy from overseas, cos the price in here just ridiciluos, for $600 u can get JL W7V2 from overseas, and for W6V2 just around $300-400, but if want to buy another sub (i.e alpine), buy in here, cos the price is almost the same with overseas price

u mean buy off of ebay?

ive seen the prices on there... probly around $500-$600 inc postage and customs/gst or woteva!

i duno, its a bit of money to save but i dont want to get it and it breaks within 6 months and i have no warrenty? i know they offer 12months warrenty but then u got the hassle of shipping it all the way back there and back (at your own expense) and whats to say they will even accept it for return/exchange?

so many choices...

subs r the last thign u want to get overseas...especially from america. its just now worth it.the shipping is a killer. A boxed 12w6 would maybe cost 300usd new, plus bout 200usd shipping n 20percent gst/tax. Morever, try shopping around.u often find that prices vary quite substaintally for local JL gear. good luck

yeah i think theyre shipped from asia!

id much rather buy one from a shop so i have full manufacturers warrenty etc

ill have to look around and see if i can pick up any good deals!

Will be getting my W6V2 soon via ebay.. about $510AUD shipped

if u dont mind me asking, who did u buy it off?

was it audio_paridiso or whateva it is?

yeah thats right... havent had any experience with him personalli.. but looks good on paper..

yeah thats who i saw aswell.

id be interested to know if they're any good or not!

they seem to have plenty of products and plenty of good feedback!

wot amp r u getting for it?

I already got my amps ready... just need this single sub then custom install..

didnt get the / series.. so using a e1800D and e4300 for splits..

nice.. let us know how it sounds if ya dont mind!

hhehe will do.. preparing for autosalon (well possibly) so see how it all goes.. in the next month or so..

Well another sub you might want to have a look at is the Image Dynamics IDmax. They will sound as good as the w6. The good part is the rrp of it is on $849. Lots of people here use and and has fallen in love with it. (inculding me)

yeah ive seen alot of talk about them...

i went to their website and the 12" are 1000w rms arent they? that means ull need an amp twice the size for the the ID MAX? i was planning on geting 2 subs (hopefully) so is it worth the extra money on bigger amps?

ID MAX is good or Kicker L7, rrp only $699 i think, and in overseas Kicker L7 and JL W7 is at the same level, so worth a try

lol 1 big sub with lots of power will be more than plenty for bass production. 2 big subs is overkill, unless you like alooooooot of bass.
=P

BTW, are W6V2... definetely for sealed boxes??
