JL Audio 10W6

JL Audio’s 10W6 (version 1), which has now been replaced by the 10W6v2, was one of car audio buffs’ favorite 10″ subwoofers—great punchy/quick bass combined with undemanding space requirements made it easy to experience up-front bass.

Infinity Reference 9612i Review

6″ x 9″ two-way loudspeaker I have been trying to search for a review on these 6x9s for a long time now; most of the stores that carry these do not have user reviews. Yes, I know the REF9612 has been discontinued, but these used to sell really well. Currently, the REF9632CF and the REF9633CF [...]

Polk Audio db650 Review

Compared to other 6.5-Inch speakers in this price range, the Polk Audio db650 had the most balance and organic sound. For whatever reason, these speakers always delivered or more “musical” tone. I listen to jazz, pop, R&B, classical, rock, etc, and these speakers seemed to have the best frequency response. Mids still are still not [...]

Alpine SWR-1242D Reviews

Type-R Series 12″ Subwoofer There is not a single thing wrong with this sub. The sound quality is perfect and when you want it to, it will blow you away with smooth powerful bass. I have it wired to an alpine MRP-M650 amp and it sounds perfect. It’s actually better than the two twelves I [...]

Alpine MRP-M500 Review

1-Channel Mono Subwoofer Amplifier The Alpine MRP-M500 mono amplifier drives your subwoofer system with up to 500 watts RMS — enough to satisfy the hungriest bass setup. The low-pass filter puts you in command of the frequencies that reach your subs, while the variable bass boost is armed with plenty of low-end punch. A subsonic [...]

Arc Audio 4200SE Amplifier Review

This arrangement allows for maximum isolation of noise by keeping the noisy power and ground cables as far away from the signal and [...]
