jhmeg2 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am stepping down from the boom boom club, and focusing on sound quality now since I'm old. I use to drive with 8 10s daily then to a single 12, now the choice is between the JL Audio 6w3v3 6.5" subwoofer or the Arc Audio 8d2 8" subwoofer. What ever the choice is it will be in a T-line in a Trailblazer @ 4 ohms powered by the sub channell of a Memphis Belle 16-MCH1300 putting out 300 watts. The rest of the system includes an Alpine IVA-W200 source unit with an Alpine PXA-H701 processor. MB Quart QSC 216 6.5"s in the kick panels w/ the tweets at +/- 0. I also have MTX TS-1000 solk domes in the dash wired parrallel with the tweets in the kick but the dash is at -6 dB. There is a set of MB uart QSC 1646.5 mid-bass woofers in the front doors. Eclipse SE8365 6.5"s in the rear doors. The front stage is powered off of the Memphis Belle 16-MCH1300 at 4 ohms, while the rear doors are powered by a Memphis 16-MC3004 also at 4 ohms. I need help making the decision on the sub. I was looking into a DD1508, but I don't know if it would be as geared toward SQ as I am wanting. JL Audio 6w3v3 6.5" subwoofer Free Air Resonance (Fs): 41.80 Hz Electrical “Q” (Qes): 0.533 Mechanical “Q” (Qms): 11.027 Total Speaker “Q” (Qts): 0.508 One-Way, Linear Excursion (Xmax)*: 0.35 in. / 8.89 mm Efficiency (1W/1m)**: 80.49 dB SPL Effective Piston Area (Sd): 17.36 in. sq. / 0.0112 sq. m Nominal Impedance: 4 ohm Thermal Power Handling (Pt): 150W Arc Audio 8d2 8" subwoofer Free Air Resonance (Fs): 22.7 Hz Electrical “Q” (Qes): .317 Mechanical “Q” (Qms): 3.331 Total Speaker “Q” (Qts): .289 Equivalent Compliance (Vas): 1.7 One-Way, Linear Excursion (Xmax)*: 15mm Efficiency (1W/1m)**: 85.4 dB Effective Piston Area (Sd): Nominal Impedance: 1 or 4 ohm Thermal Power Handling (Pt): 150W Any input would be greatly appreciated. If I want to pound on it a little I can slap in a Mojo 12" in the t-line or 8 MTX 5500 10"s... so dont worry about me not beating up the block. I'm old not dead.

LT.Smoke Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 personally homeboy i would go with the 8 i just dont see the 6.5 having enough ass to fill that large cabin space of the trailblazer but thats my .02. If it were me id go with a single 10 in that big ass truck.

Blazerbass Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i would just go with a 10" if your not looking for extreme bass. a 8 or 6.5 doesnt seem worth it for me. Quote http://www.secondskinaudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
