New member Username: SyronPost Number: 1 Registered: May-11 | I've got a 03 Corvette that I'm switching out the stereo system. I'm willing to dump some cash into this. Cash isn't a top priority, but still something to consider. I've already picked out a head unit that has 5v preamp out. Now comes the question! I'm going to put either 2 10w6's or 2 10w7's in a custom fiberglass box similar to: http://www.tccustomz.com/inc/sdetail/80/816 I've read that the 10w6's have a fuller sound range, and the 10w7's hit harder. Sound quality is more important, yet I also want to hit hard when showing off. Which would be better for my case? Also, which JL amp should I go with? Would a 1000v1 amp be good for the two subs? |

" Also, which JL amp should I go with? Would a 1000v1 amp be good for the two subs? " That would be perfect, yes. That is all assuming you are stuck on JL for whatever reason. If you're open to options you can build a system just as good for a lot less. |

Bronze Member Username: TuloudPost Number: 24 Registered: May-07 | look into dd audio fi audio audioque and look into the archives on this site there is alot of people that have asked the same question on different treads. In my opinion the w7 sounds great thou and is pretty high on the list regarding subs. |

Gold Member Username: Livin_loudMW2 Addict Post Number: 3458 Registered: Jan-06 | assuming you are staying with your OEM alternator you should look into subs that handle around the 500wrms range. a sub that is comparable to the w6 is an Image Dynamics IDQ. since you are looking for something of sq orientation i wouldn't recommend dd, fi or audioque. all great companies but what they offer doesn't fit your needs IMO. |

So even though they're 10's, they'll play as if they were 12's. This is due to the overall cone area and excursion of the sub (displacement). Go sealed and these subs will hit hard, play deep and sound great no matter what you play on them. |

New member Username: SyronPost Number: 3 Registered: May-11 | Thanks for the help. I think I will be going with the 7's. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to buy DD, Fi's, or even Audioques. |
