    jl audio 12w3v2

    i have an extended cab truck with a jl 12w3v2 dvc sub @300wrms with a fosgate p3002 bridged to give me @368w to the sub. im happy with the results its just that im wondering if a 500 watt 15" sub would give me better bass with my 300 watt amp than a 300 watt 12" maxed out? the 15" im looking at is a jl 15w3v2 dvc. any comments would be appreciated.

    You'll get better low end extension, and a little more SPL, but I can't gurantte it's going to be too much. I'm sure you'll notice some increased output, but it's not gonna be spectacular. If you can get the 15 for a good deal, I say go for it, wouldn't hurt.

    while looking at the same lineup (W3v2), you'll see you'll get deeper, cleaner bass than the 12" model--but you wont see the high end bass as well... the W3v2 line is a great mid-range lineup of subs.... if your in a cab of a truck--i would just assume stay with the 12" model... as the 15" woudl require a new box (truck box), and a new speaker, and you would give it the same 360 sum watts (which is over the w3v2 power anyways). a 15 would probably be overkill--it would sound good, but definatly not worht the money if you've already got a 12w3v2.
