Both are good subs. What amp are you using to run it?

I have the Kappa perfect 10d in my s2000, and a JL 10w6 (the bigger version of the w3) in my civic.

The Kappa has a nicer sound, its smoother, more musicial, more suttle. The JL hits harder, stronger, louder, knock you over sorta bass. Both are *GREAT* subs - dont get me wrong - i love them both.

So in the end, its what type of music you listen to. If you listen to Rap and techno or other things with lots of bass - you'll be happier with the JL. If you listen to Classical, Jazz, easy listening, or more musical type of music, you'll be happier with the Kappa.

Hope this helps.

i had an Infinity Kappa 120.3, and i was really happy with that, i actually still have it lying around.

it then got "stolen", and insurance bought me a JL 12W3V2. i must say, the W3 hit quite hard, but i still like the way the Kappa played.

then the 12W3 blew (due to the amp being incorrectly tuned), so i picked up a JL 15W0 8ohm. the 12W3 was about on a par, but the 15 just gets those really low notes a little better.

i still use the Infinity every now and then

oh, all the subs mentioned are in sealed manufacturer spec boxes...

its so hard to determine what sub works with a ported or a sealed box but sealed its a lil harder but ported youll get more treble
