Okay, here's a question for all you woofer pro's.
One of my celebrity clients here in Hong Kong wants to install a scary expensive system in his new Evo 9. We're talking about Focal Utopia No. 7 for the front AND rear. Rockford T15004 and T20001bd amps. But what about the woofer? It's a draw between the JL Audio 12W7, and the Rockford T212D2. Ported box displacing 60L net internal volume. (that's what I've got to work with; final numbers many vary up/down a bit)
What would you choose, and why? I'm not on a spec hunt, I'd like to hear from people who've heard either one, or both. What's the good and bad? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

With that much volume I'm guessing you're going with just one driver and whichever one you get the T2001 is overkill for either. A T1001 will be plenty and will do ~1400rms anyways.
Although the T2 is a great driver and really doen't get the respect it deserves I still say the 12W7 is a better sounding driver and recommend it over the T2.

Well, that seems to point in a pretty specific direction. Thanks for all your input.
I agree that the T10001bd would suffice. I'm still working on selling that point. "More is Better" seems to be a way of life here......
