Hey guys, just curious as to what to think about this competition. I am pretty much sold on JL audio subwoofers as I have a great local source for getting them from, but I am not sure which of what to get. I would ideally like to have 12w3v2, but they just take up too much space which made me lean towards two 10" jl audio 10w3v2's.. I am coming from 2 x 10w0 which is my current setup, and am looking for more power... I was thinking about two 10w3v2's, but really just how much bigger is the difference? and last question would be, would two 10w3v2's outpound one 12w3v quiete very noticeably?

Yes I completely agree, install does make the world of difference.. but lets say the difference in setup between all these options, would only be the subwoofers (i.e. each box was built to proper specs made of same material/design, and amplifier was wired properly in all situations for 100% power.

Depends on vehicle and box location inside of vehicle too
