fuse rateing to the devise...NOT the wire
Hey what's up. I should have been more clear in the video, it should be the lesser of the two. You don't want the wire to melt and you don't want your device to overheat. Thanks for the comment!
@@j168vlogs correct,. wire should be 3 times the gauge rating of the appliance,....theory ..1.5x in reality
because you politely responded and you got skeler music...upgrade to a pro cerwin vega 15 or 18 for SQL....BUT for skeler bass go sundown or skar
Excellent review and advice! SO nice to see a video from someone articulate who care more about sound quality rather than the numerous videos of someone playing rap to show their rear view mirror vibrating. 👍🏻
Hey what's up!! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it!! Tbh, I like both SQL and SPL but if I had to choose one over the other, SQL would always be first priority lol.
does your Gs350 have Mark Levinson ? my ‘15 Gs350 has ML and was debating adding this sub , as the stock sub has a muddy bass with certain notes. I also have a JBL MS8 from my last car I was debating putting in, do you think it would be a good addition ? Thanks !
Badass!
Nice set up bro ! As far as the amp I think your not getting the potential that sub can provide with your amp. Its a really nice amp but you have the best sub JL has to offer . That Jl1000 is topically used for the W6 subs . I have 2 of those W7ae but I have a JL 1😅000/1v2 to each one and sound insane !
Hey what's up! Thanks man! Yeah, I know I'm not using the cleanest amp JL audio offers but the Slash amps are really big and expensive lol. The sub still sounds AND feels amazing! Thanks for the comment. It's awesome to meet another JL Audio fan, I'm sure viewers will appreciate your input. If you ever get a chance... post a YT link to your setup! Would love to see it in action lol
nice!
Great sub, horrific wiring
Hey what's up! W7 ftw! Lol, the wiring is definitely on the functionality side, no artists' touch at all.
Wondering how a pair of 10W6s would match up against this single 12W7. No doubt louder, but low end accuracy is my thing.
Hey what's up! That is a good question. I cannot answer with 100% confidence but I think the 12w7 is going to be more accurate at high volume low frequency based on the Xmax of 1.15" compared to 10w6 Xmax of 0.75". Are you having trunk space limitations?
@@j168vlogs YES!😞My space is 30” wide. A bottom port maybe?
I currently have a pair of 8s. Wanted to increase cone area. I can do a single 12, which is about the same cone area I have now. A pair of 10s would be an option, and why I asked.
@@milesbachelor8747 what kind of car are we talking about? Going from a pair of 8s to a 12w7 is a huge jump. The 12w7 is an interesting sub such that it has to be turned up to work properly. The only volume I can enjoy my music is LOUD with that sub and it could be too much for a small car. What do you think about a 10w7?
@@j168vlogs I have an Infiniti M45. Good size trunk but it narrows close to the back seat. A single 12W7 is totally in play considering the price I’d pay for a pair of 10W6s.
The goal is reaching the lows, not necessarily loudness because I’m not a high volume listener.
@@milesbachelor8747 Duuude! Old school Jdm legend in the houz lol. My friend drove an M45 back in 2000, it was a real people magnet car. I think that car is big enough such in a way that a 12w7 playing at minimum required volume won't be overpowering. Be warned though, this sub can get crazy when you want it too. Let me know what you decide. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
Where did you get the remote signal from for the lc2i?
Hey what’s up! I had it professionally installed but I think the signal was from a back door speaker.
Can we get a sound demo
Hey what's up! Noted, I will def put one up in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@AbundantJohnLing does that 1000amp push that sub pretty good ?
Hey what's up! the amp was more than enough. At 3ohm it was only using 750 watts but it was so loud it drowned out all the stock speakers. All I heard was Bass!! lol
What a hack job. I hope you didnt pay for that. I would have ripped it out right away and re did it properly. Way to show what NOT to do!!
Hey what's up! Thanks for watching and speaking out! I'm sure people are going to read this comment for educational purposes so if you can go more in detail it may help out the community!! I did pay for installation, the price was very low and about 11 years ago lol. You get what you pay for.
