Which system would you choose?

**badazzta00** · 10-23-2009, 11:27 AM

I'm going to remove my MTX 4500 10" powered stealth enclosure. Im debating on which system to go with. I've usually always had 2 12"s(Soundstream SPL 12's, Image Dynamics IDQ 12's,JL W6V2's, Rockford T112d2's, etc...) and I'm thinking about trying something new. Which set-up would you guys go with: 2 Rockford T1 12's powered by a US Amps Merlin MD2D(1500 watts rms), 2 Rockford 15's powered by a US Amps Merlin MD2D(1500 watts rms), or 3 new series L7 12s powered by a US Amps Merlin MD2D(1500 watts rms). I've got another amp powering diamond audio mids and highs.

I would do the 2 12's with a box that still has a t-top holder.

JL is the best

out of what you listed the t1's would probably sound the best but there is better out for same price or cheaper

If you want bass, I would use the Alpine type X 12inch, I am running 4 of them, and they are great

**tep98ws6** · 12-01-2009, 01:08 PM

alpine. hands down

**justinmc978** · 12-01-2009, 02:40 PM

i like JL, my 12 sounds cleaner than alot of double 10 setups, but i'm also biased because my initials are JL,

**Colhauser** · 12-01-2009, 03:46 PM

The Alpines are great with the Steg amps, the are clean and handle nice, I will be adding my set up soon

**mpfranks** · 12-01-2009, 04:25 PM

Have you ran a couple of ported 10s yet, with a 30-35 port tune?

Have you considered some FI Q's or ICON 12's?

i would say run two 12" MTX Jackhammer series. i have two 10" jackhammer series powered by the appropriate Jackhammer series amp. i have bown away alot of 12" sub sets. i can only imagine how the 12s would hit. i know its not what you have in mind already but its definatly an idea.
