Default Need opinion on system in my z. jl or alpine
i was either going to do 2 jl 10 w3v3's with a jl 500/1 or a single alpine 10 type x with a alpine 1000/1... both would be in a ZEnclosures box. what would sound better in the z? i want loud *** bass but i want the quality to be good at the same time thanks for your help in advance

this one is all yours doug

i personally think you can get a better sub for the 1000/1, idmax10 would immedaitely come to mind, louder than the type X, goes deeper and sounds better IMO

if you've been a brand ***** in the past than I see no reason for you to stop now.

the two w3s would be louder. I would go with that. I wasn't impressed with the alpine type X. I think the alpine type r sounds better.

Despite all the claims of brand whoring and such, JL makes some decent amps and subs. Probably a bit overpriced, but if you shop around, you can find good deals. Sure, there is better out there, but there is also much, much worse.

I have a JL 500/1 powering a 10w6v2 in a small enclosure in the trunk of my G35 coupe and it is loud, tight and good sounding.

You need to compare apple to apples......

JL w3 - all around, daily subwoofer

ID Max - one of the best SQ/SPL subs made today.

A proper comparison would be the IDMax and a JL W7.

a better comparison for the w3 would be the Image Dynamics IDQ which still blows away the w3..
