I currently have a JL Audio Prowedge CS112-W3 sub enclosure (sealed; one 12W3 sub; rated 250watts continuous). However, I want as much trunk space as possible so I am thinking of getting a Stealthbox (sealed; one 10W6 sub; rated 300watts continuous). I'm also using a Rockford Fosgate 500a2 amp (bridged 500watts) to feed the sub, so there will definitely be no under-powered sub issues.

How would the 10W6 compare to the 12W3? Tighter bass? More defined? Less boomy?

 

10w6 would sound tighter, especially in the stealthbox. PM AndyXXL...he had the stealthbox in his 4th gen.

 

12w3 will give you MORE bass, get deeper playing, and 250 watts???? PSSHT...I ran 400 to my old one over a year and it pounded and was fine, it loved the power. 12w3 is a great sub, it kicks well, and goes pretty deep, its really a rather musical sub!

 

I know how the 12W3 sounds...I've used it for a couple years already...and yes, I know how much power it can handle. Read my original post, I'm pushing 500watts into it.

What I want to know is how the 10W6 compares.

 

Go with W6, it's better. They hit tighter and go deeper.

Yeah, that outta be good. Id say eitehr stick with the w3 or go go for w6v2.

 

what type of music do you listen to?

 

Different types...R&B, Rap, House, Trance, slow jams...

 

From what I have read, the W3 is a better sub for SPL...meaning it will probably sound louder. Now you are replacing your single 12" with a 10"?? You will for sure lose some output, unless you go with a nice ported design and up the power on the w6. Like others say, you will get tigher, less boomy bass, with a smaller sealed setup, but at the price of giving up some overall output.
