Not to bash on it or anything but:

A thick surround is NOT a good thing....... more surround = less cone area

Looks good.

I used to not like W7s at all because of the price, but now that ive heard 4 or 5 different setups with them being used they are solid subs. I still like W6s better though...

As far as box design look at JL's website.

Ehh, to me more surround means more excursion. More excursion mean more moving air mass. I'm guessing it's kind of a wash.




Could be debatable.






Ya think?

yes Chad, they are dvc 3. And i would build a bigger box the jl specs for ported. I built one with woofer tools for my 13 W6, and it came out very nice. Hits low and hard. btw, it was about 20% bigger then JL Spec. But Phil may sell you a plan for it. I plan on giving him a shout when I need my next box for 2 - 13.5 W6 ported.

For your box I would HIGHLY Recommend JD Builder. VERY Cheap and outstanding products.

He has the lowest prices and some one of the best products IMO.

Tell him Mike, with the SS and JL sent you.

i just followed the ported enclosure instructions that were in the sub's manual. the box turned out very well and sounded pretty good. i've got a couple vids if u would like to see them. be sure to power them with lots of power, theyre a hungry sub.

what you need is the Keeker SX1250.1 1250 watts at 1 ohm.
I bet they are pricy thou.
A good regulated amp, like (I forget model) PG will do 1000 at 1-4 ohms, as well as those alpines, and of course 1000/1 jl. Maybe a Memphis ST1500 or ST1000 will work well too. They can be had pretty cheap. Also that saz 1500? not sure on dat one . But nice sub,

honestly... you should get a bigger amp anyways.. the 13W7 is rated at 1500 watts rms... if this dude has so much cheap sh!t you could prolly get a 1000/1 off him at a reasonable price.

That 1000/1 is PERFECT for that sub and like stated before if you can find a Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 that'll be another fit.

Should've bought one of those PG Xenon 1200.1 before I bought this ZX 1500.1. Very nice amp that they made for only a year or less.

Ya think?"

It means it COULD have more excursion but that depends on the motor force driving the moving mass. Also with more excursion your suspension(spider(s)) has a harder time keeping up?
