Pair of JL Audio F110-Good Subs???


Hello,

Im in the Market for a Very Good Subwoofer.
How does the JL Audio F110 10in subwoofer rate?
Im thinking about getting a pair of F110s.
The Subwoofer will be used for Music and Movies.
My room is 15Wx23Lx8H

Thanks

Just a comment on Bacardi's comment re: SVS subs w/EQ-1 being superior to JL. I'm sure that he's right. I also suspect that any half-decent sub mated to an EQ-1 (or Velodyne SMS-1) PEq unit will outperform a superior sub with no PEq - particularly for music. (As to HT performance, the JL and SVS subs both appear to be stellar performers. Again my opinion on the SVS must be qualified by my comments re: no first hand experience in my previous post.)The SMS or EQ-1 can be used with any sub, including the JL. Note that the EQ-1 requires a x-over unit ahead of it in the chain, as it was presumably designed for use with HT receivers or pre-pros. The SMS-1 includes a built in crossover but -IMHO- it kinda sucks, so you'd probably want a separate x-over for high pass anyway. I use an NHT x-2 for this purpose.

Good Luck.

Alpha3, for your size room I would recommend going with a larger driver. I don't believe 10" is going to give you the volume and compression you need for movies.

I went through the whole subwoofer snalysis paralysis about 2.5 months ago and ended up pulling the trigger on two Rythmik Audio F-15's. I haven't looked in the rearview mirror once since owning them. Having done my homework I liked the fact that Rythmik was supplying a lot of seasoned DIY sub builders with their Direct Servo drivers and I appreciated the non-ported design for audiophile applications. I recommend you check into Rythmik Audio.

PS - I'm not a dealer, have no affiliation whatsoever with Rythmik Audio. I'm just a satisfied customer.
