DArnoldNJ Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hey guy so recently i was given the oppurtunity to purchase a 12inch titanium elite woofer from phoenix gold. I am currently running p1000bd to my 13.5 W7 in a sealed box. So my question is should i purchase the TI Elite and get a box built? or just stick with the 13 W7 and get a ported box built? Also how does the TI Elite compare to the JL W7?

Mosin Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Personally I dislike JL Audio for many reasons but if you like them and you paid for your W7 I suggest getting a ported box for the W7 with dead exact tuning/dimensions of what they require to bring the best out in the sub. Maybe one of there H.O. Wedge enclosures? Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Okay, as far as the Elite goes, I'am very familiar with them, wont say why The Elite was made to compete with the JL w7 The Elite does handle more power, has more excursion, and then of course the fancy little LEDs The Elite has less issues than the w7s, like the cone separation, and lead issues the W7s have I think the Elite will last longer, take more power, and have better more solid lows, with a MMS of almost 1000grams, 4" peak to peak excursion, and 9" spiders the lows better kill right? w7s I do think are more solid in the 30 - 45hz range, while the Elite is better in the 25 - 35hz range Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Do you think i can run a rockford p1000bd and power that sub?

Forevrbumpn Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 no problem at all with that power, dont forget Dual 3ohms, so its 1.5ohms ran in parr When the subs were $299 on blow out on some website, I WANTED to buy some, so $150 thats a good deal, make sure the dome is secure, the LEDs light up, and the leads are good, and no buzzing from the spider clamp assembly Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Forevrbumpn Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 edit about the impedance, I think the newest ones were dual 2ohms, the first gens were 3ohms They also had a SPL cartridge you could buy that was triple 3ohm, 6 layer coil, using a foam surround, and regular dome, light sturdy cone assembly I would try and look for those if possible Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".
