The SVS PB12-Plus/2 and the JL Audio f113 have very different frequency responses, so without a doubt they will sound different if not using any EQ. The f113 is much flatter while the Plus/2 has a quite wide and large bump centered at ~40 Hz. A good parametric EQ will help the Plus/2 a lot.
That's a good point; in fact, I've got 4 filters running through a BFD taming the +/2. I ran my informal tests with the SVS and BFD active against the F113 with ARO.

It was very interesting to feel the shudder of the really low stuff with the SVS, but not the JL; while the SQ of the F113 was appreciably better across the board, with the exception of the low stuff it couldn't produce...


Dali Mentor 8/Vokal/Ikon Phantom 5.1; SVS pb13 Ultra; Sherbourn 7/2100A bridged 3 channels for 400+ watts to L/C/R & Onkyo 875 pre-pro & surround amp = Audio Heaven!
Now about that projector...
