IMO,
bizarro was around before that episode. In that episode they were taking about bizarro Superman when in actuality, bizarro Superman already existed that's why they had the topic in the first place.

If you don't know what bizarro Superman is he is the complete opposite of Superman.

BTW, I would go with two IDQ12's over a pair of Type R's or a single 12w6v2.
If I were considering buying one 12w6v2 now and a second 12w6v2 down the road I would just save a bit more cash and buy a single 13W7 and put more power to the single driver.

I would prefer one better sub than two lesser subs. I own a 12W6V2, and I absolutely love it.

To be honest there isn't really much point in owning a W7 over a W6v2. I mean not that many people listen at volumes where the sub is getting over 500W RMS, and if they are, they definately have some hearing problems.

I do own a W7, and I'm starting to wonder why I am keeping it and selling the W6v2 [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Both sound the same to me off of a JL 500/1, and I definately can't get to max volume before my ears can't take it anymore. I can't imagine how loud a W7 would be playing with a full 750 -1000 W RMS.

I would seriously disagree on this.

Dan, I feel many people listen to systems with more than a single 12" and 500rms and still have very good hearing.

It's one thing to build a car to be louder than another in the lanes or in the school parking lot but other people, like myself, build a car so THEY are happy with it. The initial build on my car car had two Boston Acoustics PRO12's with a 600rms amp to them. While this system sounded quite good and got relatively loud it was not enough for my tastes.
Upgraded to a single RE HC15 with 1200rms and it was pretty much perfect for daily. Great sq and it got loud enough for anyone who got in the car including myself for daily commutes.

I've since changed to my current system. While it showcases a ton of power it was built with sq in mind as it can sound excellent at daily levels but I can also showcase it's WOW factor when needed.

The plan for this system was simple: Be able to put in any listening material and have the ability to listen to it as loud and clear as anyone wants it. I believe it has been achieved.

I commute on the highway and very often listen to music at levels that would surpass that achievable by a single 12W6 with 500rms. I'm not saying my system is flat out but that small system wouldn't have enough for me on a lot of material. So for me that setup just wouldn't be enough and I can assure you my hearing is still top notch.

Also, Bizarro Superman showed up in the Superman TV cartoon. He was created by Lex Luther and although he started out just like the real Superman he quickly changed into the complete opposite of him (although he was also in love with Lois Lane). He ended up dying at the end while doing a good deed and saved Lois. So while there was a Bizarro world, there was also a Bizarro Superman.
