Which is the Better Sub?

I’m not saying that that extra excursion is worth the extra money. I’m just saying that I have never heard a tempest to know which one sounds better. If you compare their specs they are very close. The tempest does have better specs when it comes to SQ. From the specs aspect the JL isn’t worth the extra money. The tempest needs a larger box than the JL will. But if you have the room I would go for the tempest. I don’t think the JL is worth the extra 200+

I am very pleased with my JL 12w6's Never had any problems with them.Sound Pressure

You know you have the right amount of pressure when your eyes start to water! Now you've got Juice!

If you have the space for the box, the tempest is going ot make you cry. But if you are cramped for space, the JL might be a little better choice. I have really been VERY impressed with Adire gear altely, there's a HUGE amount of thought and work going into their speakers. I personally would choose the tempest, just because it will move similar air as the JL while being more accurate to boot. And teh price is just a bonus. But go with what you trust and your ears tell you. /NyxBass

My answer on this will always be JL Audio. I think they have the best subs by far that are on the market at this time.1998 Award Winning Mustang GT
