Depending on the music you listen to and the sound you like there may be better options out there.
Personally I love w7 but then again not a whole lot of sq subs out there that will put out as much spl as a w7. For that type of sound say a w3, eclipse is a very comparable brand that is better in sq than current re to my ears. Titanic and shiva will blow w3 out of the water for sq.

The Fathom line does not include a highpass and you need an external one but has built in room correction.
Without room correction you will have dips and peaks in the bass. With that being see I have two E subs that have both broken twice and need repaired.
But they sound great for music. I've owned both I submit like most things in this hobby it comes down to personal preference. Martin Logan also makes some very musical subs so you might look into them also. Between those two, I prefer JL. My new favorite though is Perlisten. I think they make a better sub than both as the DSP is best on market that I am aware of. More is better, ie you're better off with multiple subs arranged to manage room modes than looking for 1 mega buck sub.
With multiple subs each one only carries a fraction of the load. There is nothing special about the Perlisten subs, just marketing BS. None of them include a high pass filter, a fatal mistake.
I have also been turned away from JL Labs products due to multiple reports of liability problems. I have personal experience with one failure. There are many fine subwoofer drivers out there now and many digital processors with fine bass management capability. The best way to deal with subs is to get a processor, separate amplifiers and passive subs.
The key to low distortion is using large and multiple drivers keeping the excursions short. With bass management sealed subs are best. As long as you have the power you can make the sub do anything you want. You would be surprised how inexpensively this can be done.
Parts Express has great subwoofer kits that anyone with two hands can build. Great thread. I've wondered about the same question. Reliability is important as shipping subs back and forth to the mfr for repair is not something I'd want to do. My use is for music only. Appreciate all the input.
Looks like I'll stick with REL. The Carbon Special looks like the one. SVS have a great app for all adjustments ,Free shipping, 45 day audition if not happy they even pay return full refund ,5 year transferrable warranty , does Rel or ,JL do this -Not that I know of , And a bunch of Excellent reviews!! REL comes with 60 Day home trial and free shipping and returns! That says nothing a empty statement- they sold there SVS sub?
SVS is out. They are nothing but a big boom box. All pairs. IMO the sub choice depend on the speakers you are matching them with. The rel s pair I use with my Charney horns using high level inputs. Good integration. Without an adjustable phase I feel the integration is very good but not perfect. The ease of set up though is beyond compare. The Rels I could do it in an evening. They sounded decent just plugged in lol. Thundering sound effects. Set up using Dirac. Each sub IMO is a diff beast.
To compliment full range accurate speakers Jl audio, if you take the effort will win. For just adding bass to a limited range speakers with ease rel would win.
Purely my experience. I have been a rel faithful from their st series. You can't hear my G1s when they're on, but turn them off while music is playing and I just shake my head. Extremely happy with the upgrade. My JL crapped out. Mike Loudon. Post Number: Registered: Oct RE FTW!
And you're right it's frivolous to even ask and brings to light how ignorant people are, for seriously asking that same question on this forum and others, again and again. But it's usually alot easier because they don't throw up four kings like this list. They have something for everyone and especially with this new driver that will be here on Monday. Posted on Saturday, January 13, - GMT i made this thread because some guy was implying that JL audio is better than RE, DD, Fi, and other high end internet based car audio company's which has no validity to it whatsoever just wanted to let him see how ignorant of a comment it was.
