Message: [QUOTE="jdc753, post: 773829, member: 52"] The JL TW5 is not really the same ballpark as the majority of other shallow mounts, it should be better quality than the majority of conventional subs. Biggest part of getting clean quality sound will be from the install and tuning much more than the gear itself, properly sized box, and properly equalized and crossed signal will bring even wallmart gear to life. Only other suggestions to take a look at but you will have to confirm fitment with the measurements from behind your seat. FI Audio Q, Image Dynamics IDQ, Stereo Integrity BMII (discontinued shallow mount) or if the new BMIII comes out soon, or finding a discontinued Stereo Integrity Mag V4, Image Dynamics ID8's (PTSUPERD has a pair of these ported and loves them) Dynaudio, and probably some I am missing. Most of the brands you listed are mainly geared to output and not sound quality, but I do like your list. For the most part I agree with you on the JL brand, they are basically the BMW or Banks of the car audio world, pricey for what you get, but JL's stuff does flat out work. I doubt I would ever run JL gear unless I get it for cheap used, BUT the JL8W7 and TW5 are in a league of their own. The 8W7 is pretty much shares the crown for king of the 8s with the DD 1508. The W6 subs and slash series amps have won plenty of SQ comps. Most people look at JL's product list and figure the W7 is the king since it is their priciest sub, but they don't realize the W7 is JL's output sub, while the W6 is their sound quality sub and sadly the W6 gets overlooked more than it should. The king of 8's for everyone, DD1508 on the left and 8w7 on the right. [ATTACH=full]115990[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
