what your intended use? sq, spl?how much power you have on tap?

[insane37]

its for a daily played system. power isn't an issue.

[audiopipe]

go with the w6v2 it's more musical than the eclipse
the jl will work in a smaller box where as the box for the eclipse might be kinda huge
the eclipse will handle more power though if u decide to go with a loud bass

my advice go with the sub dat would go lower an instead of fighting up to max out the performance on one sub use multiple subs once power is not an issue

[Chiney]

have experience with the jl..

great subs for sq and the lows..

never worked with a Ti b4

[silent_riot]

This one is tough, but it sounds like you have a lot of power on tap.

I heard both already and for a daily sub ported or sealed, I would choose the eclipse mainly because it should handle more power than the JL.
For a more sound Q approach with lower power, I would choose the JL. At that power level, the JL is a winner and the best all round sub at around 4-600W imo.

tanks alot tuners, have anyone had problems with the suspension of the w6v2? i heard its the weak point of the sub.

[Chiney]

^^ yes it is

the w6v2 i had, the suspension was repaired.

BUT

didnt affect performance at all..

acutally.. the sub was said to be more reliable then...

[insane37]

^^^^
where did u repair it? because of the suspension i'm holding back on the w6.

[Chiney]

bought it so..srry cant help u there.......

I never heard the Eclipse before but i currently own a pair of W6v2 12's and over 2 years now i have them put down because of the suspension. Both of the suspensions dry rot and burst up.

Other than that they sound very good. One of the smoothest and cleanest bass i had in some of the smallest enclosures.

If anyone know where i can get them fix please let me know.
I already tried KP so is there anyone you'll recommend.

[gfbl]

my vote goes to the eclipse, gets loud and drops low when you want it to

[Chiney]

and the suspension wud hold out longer than the JL

even tho i have heard of some times where the suspension had to be replaced on ppl's Ti..

but the right power, in the right enclosure and maybe if u treat the suspension good, it will keep any sub lasting long..

[pimptacular]

jl ftw..1 of the best woofers ive ever used and always contemplated on buying a w6v2 again

my w7 is about 2 years and neva got any problems suspension wise..and if im not mistaken it think the type of material they use on the w7 and w6's suspension are the same material but jl site not loading for me rite now

[rigman00]

didnt know u have a w7

W6v2 Subwoofer Drivers
What if the compromises inherent in speaker design could be negotiated to create exceptional sound quality and output in very compact enclosures?

What if you could apply years of intense research and vast experience in subwoofer driver design to such a project?


What if the freedom existed to engineer every component of the new design from the ground up?

You are looking at our answer to these questions, the W6v2 drivers.


All this technology comes together to deliver subwoofers that excel in thermal power handling, linear excursion capability and dynamic stability; all of which contribute to the original goals: The ability to have amazing low-frequency extension in compact enclosures, razor sharp definition of complex bass material and audiophile sound quality at any volume level...

...in other words, the balance of power and finesse.

All W6v2 Subwoofers are built, with fanatical attention to detail, in our Miramar, Florida factory.

I had both subs, strangely enough both had suspension problems.

IF you have more than 800rms to work with, then go with the TI, if not then the JL would suit you.

Both are really good subs.

TIP: if u guys wanna look at preventative measures to alleviate the stress of dry rotting of suspensions, i use good ole wd40.........it works and i dont have problems with it. i just spray on d suspension and wipe with a cloth.... trust me it works.

[Chiney]

^^ i do dat too

used Amror All already too

[innovative audio]

yuh hadda leave it ah lil while eh to soak in

[Gladiator]

Make sure to use some nice clean power on the JL..... they dont like distortion

[insane37]

i using TMA amps.

[7143]

my vote goes to the eclipse, gets loud and drops low when you want it to

eclipse ti ftw.....

[kurpal_v2]

^^ At least parts can be sourced for the JL, good luck on finding soft parts for the TI without paying a first born for it.

[kurpal_v2]

Sourced how?...you have to send in the sub directly to them...they not gonna sell it to any "dealer"...and sending it to them isn't exactly cheap

Call kp and find out the price of a new kit for a ti.

Had my 12W6V2 for 4 years now no problems... using daily in my bro's car.

Was dissappointed in JL's older subs due to the suspension prolems but the newer line is much better.

JL subs are much more sensitive than other subs, they dont do well with distorted power, they self destruct if you build your enclosure wrong, but they sound real accurate and linear which is what really matters i guess. Also not a sub for the guys that like to say "it rated 500W but could it take 1000W".....
