Hi, I havent been on rec.audio.car in 10 years, so hopefully I will
still get some great replies!

I have the need to replace my current subwoofer for something better. I
have been using a Dynaudio 12" sub for the last couple years, and
although it blends nicely with my other dynaudio speakers, it just
doesn't have the low end grunt I'm looking for. I do not want a
bass-head subwoofer. I've tried the JL12w7 and it was all "thud-thud."
I need something musical, and the sub that comes closest in my
experience has been the JL 12w4 - I really liked that sub. I've also
tried a RF 12", JL10 10", Mbquart 12" (the high end one) with limited
success.

I'm really looking for a subwoofer that may sacrific some output for
SQ. Anyhting I decide to change to will have more output I'd bet! I'm
using a JL 500.1 (D class, 500x1) so power shouldnt be a problem
whatever I decide to use.

A local store sells Eclipse. What do you all think of the SW7124DVC-T2
or SW9122? Both are roughly in my price range. I'd like to spend less
than $350 for a single 12". I haven't had a chance to hear these subs
yet.

I should also mention that this is going in an 1.9 cuft aluminum
enclosure (yes, aluminum, here is a pictu

...and here are the dimensions of the box (I may have a mounting depth
issue, but I can resolve that if the right sub is found):

Thanks for any replies.
