I had 3 subs in last 2 years.

1. 12" Alpine Type-E damn this thing is good for its price of course its not clean and clips like crazy but I ran it with a lot of power and then gave it to my friend who had his 1000Watt amp hooked up to it. (This thing just can’t die, not even a smell of burning coil)
2. 12" Infinity SUB used it for two weeks, nothing special but it was better built then Alpine-E, sold it to somebody from APG long time ago, it was a pretty good sub.
3. 12" JLW6v2, this I think is almost the best sub for SQ (sound quality). Had it for about a year and then sold it to one of my friends. This sub is perfect for daily, because its really smooth and clean and I hit 140dB with just one of em last summer 🙂

My Next subwoofer will probably be either 10" JLW6v2 or a 10" MBQuart Premium subwoofer. Still haven’t decided on what I want, but nothing too loud. I’ll mostly use it to fill in the lower frequency that my MbQuart Premium 6 1/2" can’t handle.

So Lets see what you guys have!

There will probably be a question about the 6 1/2" sub so I’ll write about it now, its a JL product, I am not sure if they still make it but it was realease in the end of 2005 and cost about $50 each.

and some 12" Memphis in the 325…the shiny ones with the big M in the center, i forgot the model name…

I’ve got at least 2 tens, possibly 3(I don’t know what size the rear sub is) in my whip. While that sounds impressive, it really isn’t ☹

The last aftermarket stereo I had used Focal drivers, their sub lines measured 11, 13 and 15" respectively, damn metric woofers!
