Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1238 Registered: Nov-06 | Just picked this up yesterday.. AMAZING set-up, the SQ is unreal and it has the ability to get loud. It hits EVERY note with perfect precision and quality I love it. If your wondering why people bash JL its because they either haven't heard them in a proper set-up or simply haven't heard them at all. People must like bashing a great company with outstanding products. IMO this is the BEST daily driver system available in the market, simply can't get any better. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 3304 Registered: Mar-06 | 13W6v2 can move 69% more air than a 12W6v2. 13W7 can move 39% more air than a 12W7. 13W6 = 12W7 13W7 = 1.5 12W7 Interesting data.. Why would you trade a 13 for a 12? Box? I would like to get specs on one of those boxes. Like all measurements. Then up them a bit for a 13 w6 |

"agree with marc. how about a jl 18w7 in a HO box. org@sm for the ears." they dont even make 18w7's |
Bronze Member Username: TimbucPost Number: 11 Registered: Dec-06 | BTW. A 13w7 requires a smaller box than the 12w7 HO plus hits the low low. Real talk |
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2844 Registered: Nov-05 | im tellin you guys.... i have had a 12w7 HO in the same car with the same head unit with the same amp in the same spot as i have a 13w7 ported.. the HO performed better |
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2845 Registered: Nov-05 | the 13 obviosluy gets louder...but it seemes that some notes it cant handle.. the HO BOX is key in producing accurate bass |

Post Number: 17511 Registered: Oct-05 | well if you have the right tools it shouldn't be that hard. if i had a table saw and a router, i would build boxes for fun. i would even attemp to build the great jl ho box. but i don't have a table saw cause i have no place to put it. also i need a work area but my garage already has 2 cars in there so no room to work. |
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12846 Registered: Jun-06 | Yup. Tools and patience. There are too many ppl who want what they want yesterday that get themselves hurt. If you don't have ANY experience with power tools I suggest you have help. If all you're doing is screwing and gluing it's one thing. Saws and routers are another. Sometimes all it takes is turning on the router from someone who never has to have an accident. |

Bronze Member Username: ProstreetamxLas Vegas, NV United States Post Number: 16 Registered: May-07 | I will be building my own boxes for my new Alpine R12's and am thinking about using the W7 type box. I was thinking about using one sealed box and one ported box to get both ranges. I have a table saw but have found a pretty easy way to rip sheets of plywood and MDF with acurate straight cuts. I have even built cabinets using this method. I have several cordless Dewault saws. I found that the edge of the blade is exactly 1" from the bottom shoe. I add or subtract this 1" depending on which side I will be cutting from. I clamp a good straight edge to the wood with 2 quick clamps and cut. You get a perfectly straight and acurate cut without trying to hold a 4x8 sheet straight in a table saw. I do use the table saw for smaller narrower pieces though and my miter saw to cut off shorter pieces. |
