The sub itself might account for 20% of the quality. Enclosure, power, box type, all have a huge impact on quality and/or output.

Personally, for the price I'd take my 4 15" MAW's over 1 W7 any day, because they sound just as clean, and are far louder than any W7 I've ever heard.

You can easily buy 4-Maws for the price of the W7.

If you want a recommendation, Ill recommend a SI Mag, I heard one while I was south of the border in fall and it was clean, loud, and very nice to listen to.

In output, I'm quite certain that's the case, but in other respects...maybe not quite so much. Certainly a good contender with that quantity, though.

I have a hard time saying that the W7 is overpriced, based on the work put into the design and the quality of it. Still, there are a lot of products that come mighty close, and better it in some respects (albeit with different approaches), that are available at much more affordable prices.
