what do you guys think is the best

 

i think JL is the best but kicker is up there too and best bang for buck woulld have to be audiobahn it wont win you a lot of competitions but it will make old people mad

 

I got 2 12" Kenwood Excelons and I love them. Definately an awesome sub for the price (I paid $200 for both brand new)....very clear and accurate.

 

I have worked with many different speakers, and I will always stand by JL audio, and thats all I will put in my car.

 

Kicker or JL, I'd say kicker cuz its cheaper and performs just as good if not better than a jl w7. Put it this way, a 12" kicker L7 which is just as good as a JL W7 costs around 200 bucks. As a jl w7 would cost you around 500 (700+ retail)

 

Depends on what you are looking for in a subwoofer.

If you are looking for sound quality JL has everybody beat....but they also have everbody beat on the price.

Alpine also has good sound quality and is cheaper but they dont get as loud unless you get their top of the line.

Audiobahn is a great sounding sub but it is very fragile...they blow very easily.

Kicker has great power. If you want power over sound quality go for some kicker comps.

Rockford is also pretty good but they are picky...if you don't give them the power and the enclosure space they want then they don't sound as good as you think.

Kenwood, Sony, and Ma Audio are good speakers and are a great bang for the buck...that is if you just want a speaker that is above average, and below best.

These are what I recommend. Starting from cheapest to most expenisive this is what I would get.

1) Rockford Fosgate
2) Kicker Comp
3) JL audio (W3 or W7)

I have RF P3 12" powered by a RF 8002 amp. It KNOCKS but I have the power and enclosure they want. Have also heard other P3s that sound like crap.

The box makes the sound. Just like the exhaust on a car makes the sound. Better box better sound. Better exhaust better sound.

 

I have to go with Infinity.

I'm runnin this: http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio/product.aspx?ProdId='KAPPA+PERFECT12.1D'&Ser=KPE&C at=SUB

Being pushed by this: http://www.graveyard-audio.com/index...ROD&ProdID=229

 

uhhh those are ok, too much $ for what you get.... id go with kicker or jl, if you want money left over and a kick a$$ system, go with KICKER!

 

In my opinion alpine is the best because although it is expensive, they are crystal clear and loud. What good is a sub if its not clear?

 

there are alot of good brands out there, i suggest you dont get anything other than kicker, jl audio, alpine, mb quartz, clarion, or fosgate, those are the best brands out there I suggest you dont get anything else if you want a kick a** stereo.. WOOWOO!!! just dont get sony, panasonic, or anything you havent heard of before lol....
