I agree, JL W7s (heck, JL Audio in general) is WAY overrated. There are plenty of alternatives, like Diamond Audio...

 

well my 2 mtx 80000 15's in an 7.9 cube vented box tuned to 30hz with 2400 watts running to them via jbl bp1200.1's (with a crossover mind you) blew away my friends cartoys installed 2 jlw7's vented box in a land roer discovery with 1200 watts via some mtx amp. his sound better though by a long shot.

2 re xxx are my next subs

 

Dont get me wrong, I liked how loud they were. They did their job VERY VERY well of getting loud, and I loved how they did that so well. But, just they sucked for daily driving - any more boom than about a 140 or so and you hear this prevalant BL distortion from the subs (and a ton of rattles. LOL)

The lower models from DD should be better as they wont be as overmotored as the 95/99 series, and a sub VERY worthy of looking at is the DD 9115 or 9112. That sucker should give the XXX and Brahma a run for the money and maybe if DD spent enough time on DUMAX it might rival the w7 on accuracy.

 

Actually, only the Brahmas and XXXs have the XBL^2 technology...

 

why do you think I said 'based on?' That is to mean 'similar to.'

All 3 units have spent a lot of time in the Dumax machine....

 

I doubt you get 2400 out of that amp.
