Lookin for some input... JL vs. Infinity Well right now I have two JL Audio 12W3V2 in a custom subthump sealed box with the JL 500/1 amplifier. It sounds very nice and bumps very nicely.
I am considering buying two Infinity Perfect 12.1 and the Infinity amplifier to match them. I am thinking about this because my car is white and so are the infinity subs.
So what do you guys think? Am i crazy for thinking this or would it be worth the trouble. I would of course sell my JL stuff.
P.S. I bought the JL stuff only a few months ago in September.

two 12's will always be better then one. However Infinity Perfects are not the greatest subs, and choosing them because they're white is well.. Nevermind.
Get an eD sub, or an Adire Brahma. Asingle one of those would probably do better then two Infinity Perfects. A single Adire Tempest would beat about anything JL has to offer.

I have two (2) JL Audio 12W3V2 subwoofers. I was just thinking about going with two (2) Infinity Perfects to match the color of my car.

I wouldn't switch them for the infinitys. If you are going to upgrade because of the color matching. It would look good, but not worth giving up the quality.
JL Audio is a top notch company, especially in their w7 line. It comes at a price though. Their w62 line is a respecatable speaker too.

Verdad Gallardo W6v2 need twice as much power as w3's, and don't waste your time with the w6's unless you are going to build a ported box. I played around with a spl box with one 12w6v2 and a 500/1 at my shop and we got a 139.8 legal on a termlab meter with a thrown together box, with the same box and a 250/1 and a 12w3v2 it did a 137.1. The 2.8 decibels may not sound like much but every 10 db is twice as loud, so you can figure on the w6 being 30% louder.
