What would sound better for all types of music.Going to put 1 sub under the bow in a closed port box,What do you guys think sounds best for all types of music?......Thanks JEFF

definately 1 12 <BR>

dont waste your time on a single ten.

Ive got a ten and have plans for a 12 in a ported enclosure if that means anything to you. Dont skimp on power to drive it either or you might as well get the ten.

Go with This Sub <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/66706.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/66707.jpg" alt="">

I run a single ten and it sounds fine. I just have always liked 10s over 12s if you are playing all types of music. I think either will sound good though, what kind of amp do you plan to use to run the sub?

Thinking about a JL 500/1 or something close to that.I want a seperate Bass control for just the sub.Think 500 watts is enough?It will be going in an 86 nautique under the closed bow area.

one of each.......! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

It all depends on what kind of sound you want. If you are looking for a tight clean bass sound go with a 10, but if you want to feel it thump more get a 12. Whatever you do go with JL. There subs can be a little pricey at times, but well worth the money. The best single sub to go with is the 10W7 or 12W7. I would pair the JL subs with the JL amps. This is my $0.02 not knowing what the budget is or how much room you have in the boat. Whatever you do go with JL subs. I cannot stress that enough. The quality is bar none and the subs range in price from 125-700.

a 10 or 12 W7 is way too heave to put where he wants, that would need alot of support, and alot more than 500 watts, i have a rockford forgate he12 in my x star and it sounds awesome

What support would he need you build the box and install it. you could run a JL 500/1. JL says it is rated at 500, but real output is about 700. The JL amps are the best out there. Not trying to talk sH@t, onece again this is my opinion. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by kingpin on May 24, 2003)

the sub ways close to 70lbs and is a very strong sub, you have to build a very strong box for one, we were running 2 12w7s with 2 phoenix gold 1400 watt amps and the subs were locking up because of lack of power

No offense but I would not compare the quality of the jl amp power and Pheonix Gold. I am saying this from personal experience. I promise if you go into a shop and get them to demo the 500/1 on either 12w7 or 10w7 it will be the shizl. <BR> <BR>Again this is my own opinion. <BR> <BR>Stereos are like everything else. It comes down to personal opinion. What I like you may not like, what I think sounds great you may think is not enough bass/too much bass. Just go and listen to the stuff yourself at a stereo store that you can trust. Go to several and see what they all say. DEMO,DEMO,DEMO. Research, Research, Research. <BR> <BR>As Long as you like the stereo that is all that matters. <BR> <BR>Jeff, <BR> <BR>By the way check out the w6v2 ProWedge Systems, and W7 ProWedge Systems. I know where you can get a JL 10w7 with the box for 500. Let me know if you are interested. <BR> <BR>
