Has anyone actually heard the W7s in person. I am considering gettin one or two of the 12". Everyone says that they are amazing, just wanted to know if all the hype was true. I currently have 2-15" Solo Baric L7s. Do you think the W7 will be better? I have 2 Fosgate BD1000A1 amps to power them. Thanks for any help.

The W7 hits over 150db. I think one would be more than enough, but that's just me.

I have finally.. and I say that with a huge "sigh" after the "finally"... received the W7. I have yet to actually install one because they all went to "do it yourselfers".

I will try and let everyone know my impressions.

Oh yea... I can promise you a W7 will out do a L7. They are not even in the same league.

 

[Ranger498]

retail price ????
going price ???

 

[GoTriCe]

i would personally go with 2 10s
they sound better than 12s
but 12s go louder

Andrew- so how big is the supras trunk ne wayz?
is it bigger than the 3000gts?

I am getting 3 10" JLW7's in the car I just bought. It's a 3.2 TL so I got the trunk room. The 10" weighs about 40 lbs. it goes for about 450 here. That's the best price I have found so far. It's fucking nuts. They sound unbelievable though. Incredible SPL and clear ass any other sub out there for SQ. IMO it's the best sub out right now.

W7's

Hmm, the W7's. I must say that this is the first JL product that i really like. I heard a pair of them in the JL car at USAC world finals. I must say, they slam and they sound damn good. I was really really impressed. I was trying to decide whether to go with a pair of Orion HCCA's but they have found some new competition with the W7's for me if they are both around the same price.

 

[TITO]

They are definately not in the same price range.

The 10W7 cost me $450

For that much money I could have gotten 2 10" Orion HCCA ($244.95)

The 15" Orion HCCA I can get for $354.99
12" Orion HCCA = $299.95

IMO, you cannot compare the HCCA to the new W7. They are in a league of their own. Incredible SPL and SQ. Do not require alot of volume or amplifier power. But can handle whatever you give them. I am going to be running mine from a Orion XTRPRO 2400 amp. And this might not be enough...

 

[Yeagy]

the car I just bought. It's a 3.2 TL so I got the trunk room.

How will the trunk hold up to all that sound? It seems to me that the metal truck would warp or fluff out or something with all that pressure...fill me in....
thanks
yeagy

 

[TITO]

Dynamat Extreme. Lot's of sound deadening. All custom fiberglass enclosure.

I doubt I would hit anywhere near the SPL to make the trunk expand. Or by expand do you mean rattle? If that's the case Dynamat will take care of it. It's getting sprayed then a layer of Extreme then a layer of original...

Better safe than sorry.

Tito,

Did you sell your Civic? I always liked it..

 

[AZWildcat]

I have a 12W7 on my bedroom floor that I'm putting in the Supra this week. I'll let you know how it sounds.

Tito

I wasnt sure if the 450 you were talking was the retail price on the W7's, thats why i said if they are in the same price range. I have built many boxes that make the HCCA's sound damn good, and slam extremely hard as well. I have not had any personal experience yet with the W7's so i dont know how well they work ported, as ported is a must since i do compete, thats why the HCCA's are so high on my list. Im currently going over the new Cadence line's because all their stuff this year is new. The Wild Beast ( Cadence) on paper looks like they will be very good woofers. The prices you listed on the HCCA's are pretty close to dealer price, where are you going through? If you need any prices on stuff, lemme know, i and some friends of mine run our own business.

 

[TITO]

Cool. But in building the box why not build an ABC box? That way you can switch between sealed and ported. For SPL and SQ...

I remember you mentioned Cadence and I checked out their site. Their amplifiers impressed me. But have you actually heard them? How is their signal? Clear power? They at least look good.

What lines do you carry? I am looking for a good receiver. TV/DVD. Multimedia type of thing.

What look's good to you? Let me know. Thanks.

 

[Magic]

I am thinking about getting 3 10 inch W7s or 2 12 inch W7s. I want a lot of base that sounds nice and clean. I prefere the three tens but at 40lbs a piece maybe 2 12's would be a little lighter. I don't want to alter the handling of my car too much.

Anyone have any input on this?

thanks,

Lets just say this guys

The... 10......... maby 12...... damn cant remember..
Is 18" deep....
IT IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must be mounted onto a box that is ATLEAST 1" thick.. I'd go with about 2 inches personaly. The box has to be bolted to your car.. or it will move.

2 JL W7 10"'s Will out hit just about ANY pair of 12"s on the market.

And you gotta send them atleast 1000 Watts of clean power.. Like the JL 1000/1


This is what I would recomend since from what I was told, is that the W7 (12's atleast) dont fit in most cars........ because of the damn box they have to be in.

I would get a single W7 10, and hook up a 1000/1 JL amp to each Voice Coil.
Right there you will have the Best sounding sub, and 2 of the best Amps around.
With power to spare, and it will slam harder than anyones Dual 12 RockFords or.. anything (hahahahha cant believe people buy those). And if you turn it up.... it will hit harder...


I was told that if you turn up 2 12"ers in a car... up loud............
They hit so hard, that it can shake the entire car into the next lane....... I WANT ONE!!!

 

[aorbeta]

Don't you mean 8" deep? The specs say that the driver mounting depth for the 10W7 is 8".

[Sterling]

I make booboo

sorry


ARe you people going to competitions???

3 10s!!!! geeze.

 

[aorbeta]

No kidding. I'd only go with one 10!

 

[Sterling]

If your not going Comp... you must be going for........ Pisser Offer of the Neighborhood Status.... aye?
