Whoa what does a W7 feel like? Do you have it in a custom box or the JL H.O.?

tc,

It's a custom box into my spare tire area with a false floor and flush mounted amps.



The W7 is a beast of a woofer. Especially in this enclosure with a lot of air space and being ported as well. I love it, and like I said before if I didn't have this one I'd have 2 of the 23 KX woofers. sorta like this....just not part of such a RIDICULOUS high end system. *I will be making an update to the Utopia thread here soon*

Yeah the top end Alpine are mind blowing. I can't stand Alpine sound (shrilly and hollow IMO) however the top end stuff is downright amazing.

You know you are going to spend what a car costs for just the components, right?

I'm not talking about these little Type-R speakers..... I'm talking about the F1's.

Two 7" woofers that kick down in the 35hz range

newer stuff needs to be in ported enclosures to actually sound decent in my opinion. Personally I really dislike the quality of sound out of the Power series woofers, I think they're more for noise than anything. Granted they'll take a crap load of power and run with it, but I am just not a fan of the sound output. Than again....I'm a Focal and JL man myself

Older stuff was just built tuff as nails, more nostalgia than anything

side note: we sent off our two Power 1000 Terminator edition (top fan cooled) amplifiers to get serviced, they should be back soon

My sub choices go (in order) JL, Alpine Type-X, Diamond, Eclipse, Pheonix Gold, Kicker... JL makes the best mono amps, imo.
