moredbs Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 hey everyone this is my first post.great site to be apart of. my question is i have 2 jl13w7s only one is hooked up currently in ported box to 1000 x1 jl amp.i really liked this sub when i first got it,and ended up getting a deal on a second one.the problem is after doing a lot of research i have decided i want more spl whith some sq. in order for me to add my other 13w7 i would need to buy another expensive custom box,another expensive amp.about 900.00 dollars,or i could sell all my jl stuff and buy 4 10 btl,ssd fully loaded,and probably still have money to spare.im just not sure if i would be happy with 2 w7 and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what 4 10btl ssd would sound like compared in ported box,also i have a chevy avalanche and the large cab makes it harder to get more sound pressure,but i got about 7 cubic ft to work whith in the bed.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 wtf is a BTL ssd? you mean FI SSD or FI BTL... honestly, just build a box for your 2 subs you got now and see how well it does, you already have 2, just try it.. if anything sell the JL amp and get a better amp to push both of them Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

newls1 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 personally, you already have 2 great drivers, so stick with em. Building a box for them both, would cost maybe 50$, run them both on your current amp and see how they sound on maybe 500watts each. Later on, buy a decent amp and slam the shit out of them. once you sell the JL 1000w amp, you will have plenty of money to buy this said amp.

BeachJoshua Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 STOP! Don't touch your system or think about changing it now! First you should consult with more people on this forum before dropping another dime. Secondly, The fact you said buy ANOTHER "custom" box scares me especially since it's expensive... MDF is like 35 a sheet here... and you can build them yourself easily just takes time. Now I'm no expert on here, but thats just my input....

Team_DC-Derrick Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 You can go to a car audio store and find out how much they charge, and if you can get a design on here with it, and ask them to build to your specs.. should be around 200-250 if they use their material Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
