TWO 18" W3's or THREE 12" W6?
I looking to upgrade my system... I kinda want a system that has really heavy base "deep". So I was wondering what would be best... I already have two 12" W6's so I was going to get a third or get 2 18" W3's... What should I do?

Try tuning lower and if your enclosure sizing isn't near the max size for the W6v2 at the present (you haven't mentioned enclosure size) you may consider making it a bit bigger also. You may give up some accuracy but it may make your response curve a bit fatter.
I would recommend against getting a third W6v2. For starters getting a third one with all three ported in a proper sized enclosure for the response you want is going to be difficult and second, there is far FAR better options available for you. The W6v2 is a fantastic sounding driver that has decent output abilities. A low-end powerhouse it is not as there are far superior drivers to use in this desire.

If you are running your 12W6s in this box with 1KW of power in a Sunfire, you have enough bass already....
A new box will make a substantial difference in the sound....and cost less than new or larger subs + a new box for them.
Since you're in the GTA, I would suggest going here for a better box. Lee has been using JL for years, and should be able to do a better job than the "factory spec" box you have now.
