the jl audio w3 is very well built.. and you wont be disappointed with SQ and SPL Kicker Comp Vr's are good for SPL but have poor SQ. there okay for the money, but i wouldnt recommended them for anyone. Mtx woofers are also nice. either mtx or JL audio w3 the jl audio can just as loud as the kicker. if your not worried about money get the jl

LOL... the RFL is an SPL only driver... it's frequency range is like 50-150! Anywho, the MTX subs sound like farting under water. The W3 has a much better mix of SPL and SQ over the VR. The VR can usually be found cheaper than the W3. I say go for the W3v2 or get the e10k. EDIT: byt much better, I mean in the upper power range... the VR will start loosing BL before the W3... etc. [ 12-15-2002, 06:29 AM: Message edited by: Eum-Spliffum ] -------------------- Ultimate-eDesign-Alpine-Infinity
