baaudio Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 if you have the money for the 13w7 and the jl 1000/1 right now then youre in a great spot. but dont spend it on that stuff, jl audio makes great stuff but its just too damn expensive. if their stuff was retail what it is at cost then it would seem reasonable. theres lots of high quality products out there and lots of guys on here can give great opinions and share lots of knowledge Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLadd1ct Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Post pictures of your nice dual 12" enclosure for us, I'd like to see it, what are the specs on it? If I were you I would pick up two Sundown SA-12's and also pick up one of their 1500D V.2 amplifiers. Just make sure your electrical is up to par (grab a good front battery, Big 3, and volt meter).

notorious97200 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'd say one 15" SSA Xcon on 1500 w, or a Zcon or a Fi BTL N2(you have the budget) on 2500. you will love them all. 2 SA sound good too. But I love SSA subs, I'm biaised !!! Give us the specs of your box. You may have to get another one. The box is the most important part, from my little experience. I always try several different boxes for my subs, and the results are always different.

bassrace Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 i was thinking an XCON too, it sounds great and bangs. A good transition from a w7 imo.
