Daddy_ Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I currently have two 12" JL Audio W0 in a JL Audio basswedge box and running off a Alpine 500watt amp at 2ohms. I have this exact setup below in the link. I wanna know if I switch from my current setup to 1 13 JL Audio W7 in a custom ported box and run it off the JL Audio HD1200/1 will I gain output and lose output? and will I have better or worse sound quality? http://www.jlaudio.ca/cp212-w0v3-car-audio-basswedge-subwoofer-systems-93283 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland_Audio Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 With the proper enclosure, yes, it will have more output. As far as sound quality goes, it really just comes down to what you listen to and what you want it to sound like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I listen to regular rap music> I just need space in the trunk now. Would the JL Audio spec box work or should I go bigger?

Skullz Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Your losing cone area, so it might not be as great an improvement as you think. Your going from 2 12's to one 13" on double the power, so it may be very close in output. If you want to increase your output i would up to the 12w3 in a new enclosure on the 1200w amp you have or are getting. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I dont know what youre saying but I know I went from two 12" digital designs 2512 to a single fi audio SP4 15" and was amazed how much better the single fi audio 15 was Boxes were about the same size and on same power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think they would be about the same. I would take the two 12s and build a new box and put the 1200 on them. Then you would be doing something. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yeah the JL Audio W0 is 2 12 on a 500watt Alpine amp in a JL prefab box. The single 13 w7 would be in a custom ported box and would be running off the HD1200. If I lose output I might as well go with 2 12 Sundown SA or 2 12 JL Audio W6 Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy_ Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Anyone else can chime in? A good single 15" that will take about 1500RMS and box size wont be too big?
