Jl 12w7 Vs. Alpine Type X


Recommended Posts

Simple question. Based on pure spl, not sound Q.

12" w7 vs. 12" Type X. Who gets the win?

And if someone wants to nit pick, both in SEALED boxes with 1000 watts to each.

Whohas used them both and what did you think/

TIA

Rolex you sicken me.

I know I should be going ported for the most SPL out of the system. I guess I'm going sealed in a stupid attempt to retain some sound Q and get the "tight" hit from the low end vs. the massive air movement from ported. Kind contardicts what I'm going for.

As far as the only 2, for now yes. I own a w7 and while it is good, I was told by a friend who heard one ( Type X) that it was the shit and I would sell my w7 right away.

I'm loking for bone crushing bass and something in a dual 4 ohm model if possible as I would love to use 4 Punch 200DSM's on 2 12's in my sysytem.

I'm always open to other ideas though.

Fi Q FTW it has great SQ and will be great sealed or ported [will probably sound better ported than either one of those subs sealed in my opinion]

type X and im not favoring alpine, just letting you know that the type X is definatly better and louder than the w7. Another plus with the alpine is they recommend to use their subs in sealed enclosures which is what your going for ;)B)

The type r would probably take 1000 clean watts in a sealed box

I say the type -X as well. I have heard em both, I don't think they were on anywhere near the same power, but I would still bet the type-X would shut down the JL W7. And I run both brands currently, so no bias toward either brand.
