W3V2 With 1000/1

im trying to figure out a new set up and i was wondering how loud are 3 w3v2's running off a 1000/1 amp going to be in a sealed box or would i be better off gettin something else, and if so any ideas?

Oh come on what happened to the 2 13w6's???? Sheesh. Hmm.. I mean I've never done this, but I had one guy... real good at this stuff... better than me... tell me he did a pair 12w3's ported... big slot port box mind you... but it was louder than 3 sealed off the same amp.... some huge Eclipse or Orion or sumthin.. I'm not sure... Now.. I'm thinking if you actually get around to modeling this, you'll find 3x12w3's actually not only sounds ... well. Hold on I'm gonna model this hold on. Huh. Okay I get about 122dB-anachoetic either way.. ported or vented. I dunno I'm sleepy. "I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

Without anything other than my opinion on this, I doubt you will be able to hit 150db with that setup. I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that. VEHICLE: 2002 GMC Sonoma ZR2

In a sealed box, No way.     In a ported box it is going to be hard But that is going off measurments for the termlab, this meter is what is used in all Organazations, or the audiocontrol 190 meter, but thats even harder then the termlab As much as I love JL, they are not a product to use if you are trying to do good #'s on a meter The best JL setup I have seen to date (2) 13W7's (2) 1000/1's Ported box And that did a 147 on the termlab2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

The W3V2 isn't the king of SPL or efficency. After modeling several different drivers I found the RE XXX had the best combo of output vs. box size. The Treo SSX also looked really good but efficiency was low. I'm running a single 12W3V2 in a sealed box with a zapco C2K-6.0 bridged into it. Sounds ok,nothing wow. Also looking at Crystal drivers as an option.

JL doesn't make SPL subs, so don't count on it. but my 13w1v2 does get pretty loud for what it is..

A lot of people seem to miss this point quite often. They aren't the best for SPL, and aren't the best for SQ, but they damn sure are close to the top in doing both well at the same time, just not either/or.

well whats gonna be louder then 2 13w6v2's or 3 12w3v2's? both of them in a ported box with the right amount of air for each sub runnin off 1000/1 amp.
