    I haven’t heard the FW01, so can’t comment on that one.

    The FD01 is the predecessor to the FDX1. It will require modding the nozzles to sound good/great. The modding is simple and @james444 has tutorial on the forum. IME the FD01 bass is slower/boomier than the production FDX1 and I believe this accounts for the leaner faster feel of the FDX1.

    There is also the 1500/1800 and the Drop tuned FDW1.

    If you are willing to EQ, then I’d say go for the full woodies, so you can experience that unique timbre. For me, all the woodies would require a bit of EQ to be tonally good for me, whereas the FD01, with nozzle mod, sounds more tonally correct sans EQ.

    James444 might have other thoughts and may even have a few of these still in his collection??

    I'm really leaning towards the woodies as you state - just not sure which one is the way to go. I don't think @CEE TEE had his hands in the woodies :wink:

    The FDW1 seems like a good choice or all-out with the 1800.

    Thank you

    Screw it, pulling the trigger on the FDW1 - Thank you for the tip.

    What's the FDW1? Didn't you rather mean the FWX1?

    If so, then good choice! I think it's JVC's best driver in there (same as in FW10000 and FW1000T btw). It's not quite as technical as the FD01/FDX1 driver, but similarly resolving and somewhat more polished / classier sounding imo.

    You might need a bit of EQ if you want neutral sound, but it's definitely worth the effort.

    @james444 FWX1 is what I meant. Didn’t realize I had given it a new name; I’m sure we could fit an extra D in there somewhere though. :D
