JL Audio

What do you guys think would be louder assuming they are recieving their rated power and are in a sealed box. They would be in an Infiniti G35 coupe.

1. 2 JL 10w6v2's

or

2. 2 JL 13w1v2's

It depends on what kind of box and what you are going to use to power them.

They would both in sealed boxes, the w1v2's would be running off an alpine mrp-m650 and the w6v2's would be running off of an alpine pdx 1.1000 in the 4080 box (1 on each side)

The 13W1 would probably be louder but the 10W6 would be a lot cleaner and take a lot less room. I would do the 10's.

I would go with just 1 W6, you really don't need more than that...

Have you tried listening to a w6 in a car? How about a w7? I would demo them before making your final decision. As mentioned above, the w1 will have a physical advantage due to bigger diameter, but the w6s have better power handling, tighter bass, and deeper punch.

I have a single 10W7 and ~65sqft of dynamat extreme in my coupe. I still need more dynamat... Hope that puts things in perspective.

The reason I am choosing between the 13w1v2's and the 10w6v2's is because I already own the 13w1v2's but I was thinking about getting the 4080 box on each side for the 10w6v2's.

I would go with two 13's. You can drive them off a less powerful amp and get a great sound from them. The only downside the box will be larger.

My vote is for the 10W6. I have one (sealed enclosure) being pushed by a JL 500/1 all in a custom false floor and it is more than enough. Clean, clean, clean!
