Get the 4 ohm model, for some reason its Free Air Resonance (Fs) is a little bit lower than the other ohm models. I'd say ported around 30-32 hertz not sure on box size, but i'd definetly try to run a JL 500/1 on it.

it really depends on how you want to use it i know a guy that runs a jl 1000/1 to each in a s 10 but he goes for spl with 2 he does 150 db but they are pretty much sql subs they dont really lean toward sq or spl

Wow you guys were quick to shoot down that score lol.

I can belive it. He has 2krms on 2 decent subs in a S-10.

I guess I'm gullible.

Only reason I'm asking is cause the W3 I heard off a 500.1 was not very impressive imo.

Granted this guy has 4 times the power in a truck that is easy to get loud in and probably in a well made box made strictly for spl. Still I don't buy it.

Still curious on how it was metered and with what mic.

I think this guy has the w3 confused with teh w7. I would believe 2 13 w7's off 1000/1's in spl set-ups but even thats a stretch for 150.
