kam311 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 We arnt saying the w7's can't sound good, or that they are bad. We are just saying that if you pay 500-600 for one your are getting raped in the ass. There is sooo much better for way better prices. But op if you like jl and you don't mind spending a ton of money on an average product, then by all means buy the jl stuff. But you just need to understand that jl is really not trying to market their products to us bass heads that know what's up! They are mainly just aimed towards ignorant people that want bass and have a fat wad of cash to pay $5k for a little 1000 watt system so far...

Marky_TRD Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 So hold on.. I would use my subs for everyday use though. Like i see smd only demos for ppl nd at car shows etc. Would 2 18s lead to me popping my eardrums or would it be good for everyday use? And this would mean i need an amp any amp tht can give out 3,000 watts rms to one sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Meade has 4 18's in his 'Hoe. i'd assume he as about 20k running to them, we can only assume that his hearing is fine, and he uses his mainly for daily use. you'd be fine running about 2k to each sub. and that would be PLENTY. you will need some upgraded electrical though.

Punkeyboozter Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 spend more on your mids and highs. Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice. Build Log>>> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...pid=672024& New Build Believe in the order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fli_noize Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just so you don't feel like it's the same person giving opinions. W7's, great sounding woofer. They cost way too much and in my opinion do not handle power that well. And those 1000/1's don't seem to be the most reliable either. Their stuff sounds good but doesn't like to get beat on. Even 2 of the old BTL's would crush some w7's at literally half the price. It's a no brainer. But like the others said, take some of that money you'll save and plan to throw it into some electrical upgrades, because all the woofers and amps in the world are worthless without power!
