JL Audio HT Subs?

[lsiberian]

You know even the JL Audio 8w7 and 10w7 have insane response.

I just modeled the 8w7 with Wmax's paramaters and it's even better than the modeled ones for extension.

I was able to model it to like 17 hz for an 8 inch

The 12w7 has an extremely high excursion and would be a sick sub. I modeled it in the Kappas box parameter and it had like 6db more.

I've fallen in love with a new set of subs. These things are gems IMO. I have no choice but to save up and build a pair of new speaker stands. I don't care if I loose money on the 12.1 drivers. I really like the potential of these JL Audio drivers.

Have you by chance modeled the elemental designs 13Av.2, it's no JL W7, but it's still a pretty nice sub.

I haven't, but due to size constraints I need a sub I can put in a narrow box and use as a stand for my future speaker boxes.

The only drivers that match or outperform the W7's consistently are the TC Sounds/Audiopulse drivers. Usually the LMS equipped models like the AXIS and LMS units.

Considering the W7 design is now 6-7 years old it is quite impressive it is still at or near the top of the heap in terms of woofer design. I wonder what JL has in the works to replace it

i HAD the 13av.2 ... it's TSP's hate WINISD ...

sold it because it was not worthy of my 18" TC Sounds PR ... i'll be getting the 13W7 next.

You want a budget sub, honestly.... grab a Mal-X, put it in a 2' cubed box sealed with a large enough amp you can get..... amazing....

Just got all new amps for my setup... 4000w each and they'll scare the hell outta ya...

I wonder how many have been using JL Audio drivers in DIY. I would definately be interested to read more about it.

I just can't quench the thirst for bass with the MFW 15. I thought about getting another MFW 15 to see if it helps but I think I'll only come away disappointed. I need a stronger hit.....some one pass me the pipe
