12'' sub upgrade suggestions?!?


Recommended Posts

I have 2 jbl 350RMS subs. I'm looking for an upgrade because I would like more bass for my highs (which are currently outperforming my subs by a good amount). Car is an 09 cobalt FYI. Not looking for 150+db and it is a DAILY DRIVER. nothing insanely heavy. My amp is the clarion dpx11551 (true 1550wRMS). I was looking at 2 jbl W12MK2 subs. Or two 12" DC lvl 3's? Basically just looking for suggestions, not looking to spend over $500-600 on the 2 subs. Keep in mind i'm in Canada, shipping is higher. Also, put reasoning for your suggestions. I appreciate it guys!

Why not just get 2 lvl 3's? Like I said not looking for 140 or 150db's and nothing too heavy. 130-135db's would be nice though. And I would like good sq too since it's a daily. Plus I am not buying another amp. Rather spend the money going turbo or sc soon.

small trunk i bet you could be better off with 10's you could hit a 140 with a good box and 2 good subs. Fi SSD's are good they'll handel that power you have and ALOT more. you said you were looking for a 140 so id try 10's and not 12's

So you say 2 FI SSD 10's? I think I might get those:) and the price is surprisingly good! Anyone else have input on the SSD's? And I'm assuming the 10's won't only be loud but the SQ would be pretty solid?

I think from your opinions it's between 2 DC lvl 3's and 2 FI SSD's. But 10's or 12's? Hmmmm choices choices. Keep it coming guys!

They have great performance all around for a TRUE sp driver you'd want to looking into a Fi Q of AA Havoc. Well with the trunk space i've seen out of a Cobalt(not sure of the year...maybe 07 :pardon: ) but the trunk was kind of small and im sure you'd be happy with 2 10" SSD's. ALOT of the system is the box.
