Yesterday I bought a brand new SD500.4 for my new install in an S2000. Now Im looking for an 8 or 10 sub. The SL series looks interesting. Anyone know how the SQ is on this thing? Subs I have had and liked are things like the idq v2 PPI pro flat piston and type r subs.
I've narrowed my new sub to the SL10 typeR 8 and JBL GTO804.
Anyone try the SL series subs?
Re: Anyone try the SL series subs?
You would want the SL10d2 (not d4) and wire those coils in series for a 4 ohm bridged load to the rear channels.
The SD500.4 will deliver about 250watts, perfect for that SL10.
The Type R 8 looks like a very nice driver although I haven't played with one. It has a tad more Xmax than the SL10 but SL10 has more cone area, so its a bit of a wash on paper.
We have done really well with SL woofers, due to the fact that they have impressive Xmax for a slim driver. Most of the slim drivers on the market have very limited Xmax and really can't deliver the low frequency impact most users are expecting.

Thanks for the reply Morgan. I will give the SL a try. Local dealer didn't have the D2 in stock =( Will have to go in later in the future and try again.
