I'm in love with the JL audio w7 series. I know they can perform and wouldn't be going wrong with one of those.
The 8 and 10 inch size have my interest.
Then it would be a matter of getting a powerful amp, those subs are rated for 1000w rms, crazy ****, out of one sub.

now for the amp, there are the Boss series Boss amps on ebay

 

Wiltshire559,

Matching the W7 with a Boss amp would be like putting tires from WalMart on your Porsche.

Look for a name brand amp in the 500W plus range.

 

name brand being?

 

[img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] well im no expert but its clear the the w7 is the name brand

 

kicker, mtx, alpine, jbl, ahh my mind just went blank and cant think of any more . lol but theres more

 

how about POWER ACOUSTIK ?

I've had the A1800DB running a JL audio 10w7 and it was sweet

I'm thinking of going with a A3000DB POWER ACOUSTIK amp as the price isn't bad, same as what I sold my old A1800DB for.

 

good bang for the buck id say. should see a TRUE 1800+ from that amp. i think dave mckacnnon had one tested for PAS a while back. maybe u shuld get in touch with him.

 

The power ratings you listed for the 8W7 and 10W7 are wrong. They are actually 300W and 500W respectively. Look at the 12W7 and 13W7 if you want to use around 1000W.

 

yes! be VERY carefult with the W7 woofers.. they are touchy woofes when it comes to putting 1000 watts to the 12 or 13's even! i had about 1800 RMS, to 2-13W7's back in the day... but i did end up frying onew after about a month.. and i wasn't even pushing them hard, or anything..

good to know
puts me back to square one
now I'm thinking with the 8w7 sub I can find a 5 channel amp with enough power for it
