REL vs JL AUDIO


Who makes the best subwoofer for music? REL or JL AUDIO? REL uses High level, JL AUDIO low level with EQ. Which will be better for music.

By the way I’m not utilizing the CR-1 Crossover from JL Audio, I’m using the Wilson Audio Active Sub Controller with the Active Crossover for the subs and speakers. I can control both of them. It helps with better integration for my system.

I will stack up any day my JL Audio 6W3 subwoofers,  my JL Audio 8W7, or even Boston Acoustic Pro Series 8 or 10” subwoofers to Dynaudio top of the line subs. Been there and done that. I competed in IASCA Car Audio competition for SQ (Sound Quality) for several decades. I do like Dynaudio front stage 3 way speakers but I don’t care for their subs. My source that I have competed in the past are Alpine 7909, 7990, 9990 decks, Alpine 1310, Nakamichi CD700, Clarion DRX9255, DRZ9255, McIntosh MX5000, MX4000, MX406, Sony CDX-C90, etc. I learned from some of the best in the business like Richard Clark :-)
Interesting discussion. REL has always been my choice. I have two REL Storm III subs I am selling soon. One is black and one is cherry. They will be for local pick-up (or meeting) in the Milford, CT area when posted. 
Pair of REL with their upgraded Speakon cable (blue).  If you enjoy that and have the room, go for the array.  They are game-changing. A little goes a long way if you have the quantity.
People always choose only the most popular brand of subs which are not really the best
