I'm sorry to have missed out on the very popular GT series subs many of you got in the old tent sale.I would like a current offering from JBL in a 12 incher that can play into the 20s up to about 150-180Hz. I know that's getting into localizing territory, but something close would do. I'd like to put them under a pair of Cabaret 4612OKs for my fun system.
Especially in light of JBL no longer being particularly great at support, why not broaden your horizons and look beyond the JBL/Harman pool of drivers?

e.g. since you require a 12" and very low bass you might want to look at the Dayton Audio offering. A quick search on Dayton's site has shown various models available for that size and duty.
Not a current product ( or that well known ) but:Quote:

Obviously you'll need to bi-amp to be able to balance any 90db 12" woofer with something like the much more efficient 4612OK Cabaret.
FWIW, my own ad-hoc measurements shows this twelve to be much more linear than the ever popular 2214H.
:)
PS: they really can't be beat for being an handsome looking woofer
Only problem - I don't want to dismantle my L7s. I have a Rolls subwoofer crossover to handle the low end. I modelled a box for the 120H (based on the evolved 128H mention in past threads) - and in 4 cu.ft., it will F3 at 34Hz and looks like it will cross well at 1200Hz, not that that's my plan...but nice driver. All the other suggestions are forehead-slap-worthy. Dayton, to name just one company. has some GREAT drivers for sub duty too.
