New member Username: T187bPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | Hey guys, Im not sure the measurements of my box, but since they are both going to be 12's can I swap my w6v2's with w7's 12" subs. They tuned it for w6's specifications but would it matter if I just put the subs in place or is the w7's much different in terms of the box? Thx |

Silver Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 414 Registered: Sep-05 | it actually wont be that bad... but your gunna need another front baffle, basically screw it down to this new front baffle and then attach that baffle to your box. those subs cant just be top loaded into a hole where another sub used to be. look at the sub... the screw holes are on the underside. |

Bronze Member Username: LicidBrunswick, Ohio USA Post Number: 65 Registered: Dec-05 | OK, so the only thing different about the W7 is that you need to take off the o-ring, and then lift back the surround to expose the screw holes. I wouldnt exactly call that a special install. It still mounts to the box just like any other sub. |

Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2373 Registered: Feb-05 | i had a 13W7 powered by 2 500/1's in a ported box tuned to 32Hz and now have a Treo SSI 15 in a sealed box powered by a bridged Zapco Reference 750.2. with the W7 i really had to crank it up, full volume to get any detail out of it to really get it sounding good. it had no presence at lower volumes. also a rather boomy sub. with the Treo, it sounds just as good at low volumes as it does cranked up. amazing detail, accuracy and it'll get just as loud as the 13W7 with less power and its in a sealed box. also its less then half the price of the 13W7. the W6v2's are amazing subs. prob better then the Treo SSI. they sound better then the W7's although they might not be as loud. they don't require as much power as the W7's to get sounding nice either. if all you are looking for is loud, then get some audiobahns or kickers or something. they will sound bad but get loud. if you want something that'll be louder then the W6v2's yet still sound good, then look into RE, Treo, Stereo Integrity, Ascendant Audio... all make subs up to par with W7's for way cheaper. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3911 Registered: Feb-05 | I whould put that 13w7 in a 1.5 cuft 1.38 net sealed box and really enjoy the BASS. It will sound good and hit very low and accurate. Match it up with a JL 1000/1 |

Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 384 Registered: Mar-06 | are you saying that the ssi is better than the w7? now that's a statement. i remember seeing somewhere the top 10 mainstream subwoofers and the w6 was number 1. the w7 was 4th i think. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3912 Registered: Feb-05 | I whould take the 12w7 or 13w7 over any of the SSI's. p.s. the 1.38 net was meant for the 12w7 and not the 13w7. Either way i whould pick the W7's. The SSI is a better value for the price you pay though. |

Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2380 Registered: Feb-05 | bah, hush MO, you don't know what your talking about, lol. just my personal opinion since i've had both. i'd never go back to the W7 from the SSI i have now. W6v2 i prob would, but not a W7. its really all subjective though. if you like the W7, then theres nothing wrong with it. |

Silver Member Username: J_baby15Kentucky Post Number: 373 Registered: Feb-06 | Brandon, wat do you have pushing your SSI, and wat kinda box? Taylor- you said you had a JL 1000/1. Is that to power both w7s, b/c your going to need more than 1000 watts going to both of them i believe. |

Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2388 Registered: Feb-05 | Jordan - i got a Treo SSI 15 in a sealed box, 1.75 cubes and stuffed lightly. 2 ohm DVC wired at 4 ohms and powered by a bridged Zapco Reference 750.2. sub is also inverted and firing up towards the trunk lid. 12 and 13W7's need a 1000/1 for each. i've seen people running a 1000/1 to each coil on a 13W7 before too. 10's work fine off a 500/1 each and 8's work fine off a 250/1 but really shine off a 500/1. just for anyone who is wondering... |

Silver Member Username: Jeffless600Post Number: 158 Registered: Feb-06 | how much louder would 2 12" w7's get off 2 1000/1's instead of 1? |
|
Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2399 Registered: Feb-05 | about 3dB gain if you double the power. which is about twice. |

Bronze Member Username: MunkieNiagara Falls, Ontario Canada Post Number: 24 Registered: Jun-06 | Nice stuff, good job going with JL.. i just bought a JL 1000/1 amp... and cant decide on subs.. Either 2 10W7 or One 12W7 or One 13w7 Its a 1995 mustang so i dont know if i will have enough room for a 13w7.. Thnx for any input.. I Do realize im stealing ur thread bud.. thnx anyway :P Also any advice if i should get a Custom box made by a Audio shop or should i buy the JL Box W7 H.O Wedge... The thing is if i get a W7 H.o wedge box i have to stick with the 12w7... DUno if a JL box with a 12w7 will be better then a custom box with 13w7.... |
