    So many new players in the market, but JL is still top of the game. It's very clean, well defined bass throughout.
    There is a simple acid test for how well the sub dilineates bass, play a natural plucked double bass instrument.

    Great review. I am looking for a sub myself, but something that is good, clean bass, can be punchy when i need it. I am also trying to reserve space, and also keep in mind, I am not keeping this car forever since I am in Japan, and may be returning back to the states in 2-6 years. Do you know anything about the underseat subwoofers?

    Should probably talk about more than the specs on the box. What's the XMAX etc because frequency response doesn't really mean anything coming from the company. Especially lower end companies like Power Bass. Also if you're running your subwoofer higher higher than 80-100hz or so you're doing it wrong lol.

    I'm incredibly torn. I really appreciate anyone, be it manufacturer, retailer or industry 'tuber bothering to put out aftermarket ICE content. The market is just so small that I find it difficult to believe it's worth the effort.
    That being said, I'm uncomfortable with a video that presents itself as a product tour and then becomes a sort of review, but some of the information contained inside it is borderline at best, and flat out misleading at worst. Chiefly:
    Saying that a sub that can play up to 600hz is somehow superior to one that only plays up to 250hz. Any car audio sub should be crossed over at 80-100hz *absolute max* so the frequency response above that is of no interest whatsoever.
    Covering the mounting depths while omitting the recommended enclosure size is missing the point. For example, while the JL sub is deeper than the JBL, it actually requires a smaller box, so may be *more* suitable in applications where you have less space!
    I'm sure that someone in the CAS team knows all this - they must have forgotten more about car audio than I'll ever know! Please keep putting out this kind of content, but people will take your word as gospel so maybe get one of the tech boys to review the script before filming?
    Looking forward to the TW3 video - they *are* monsters!
