Momsoldt5 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I posted a while ago with 10" W7 to be installed in my 850. Well now I'm all done and it came out awesome!!! I have yet to take pictures, but let me tell you, its sick! Kenwood deck, MB Quart Ref. Speakers in stock loc. in front doors, Kenwood 2-way in rear doors, and Rear deck sreaker delete. I was able to get a hold of the new Kenwood Class-D for the sub and a matching 4 channel for the speakers. I really like the look of these amps and also that they have cooling fans in them so they stay nice and cool. I had the installer do a custom amp rack in the spare tire location and I couldn't be any happier. The W7 is still in the factory JL box with a custom panel on the front of it facing out the rear of the car. Surprisingly my 850 doesn't rattle much at all, "knock on wood.." All I am thinking that I have to do is dynamat the trunk lid and the license plate, and try to figure out the spoiler and I should be good to go. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that gave their 2 cents on my previous post, because this system came out soo great. I'll take pictures very soon and get a link so you can all see.. Thanks again guys :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomin850 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Ha ha ha...I like how you got the MbQuarts I got and the sub I want. How much did you get the W7 for...if you don't mind me asking. Also, was it really worth the money? I really want to buy a 13W7 and run it with my single Audiobahn amp, but with that $500 price tag (seriously such a deal!) its hard to justify it. I have heard from many installers that a lot of Audiobahn subs hit with jus as much force if not more. IE- Audiobahn Immortal subs http://www.bigdogaudio.de/assets/big/Imortalweb.jpg will hit just as hard, if not harder, without the hugantic price. So, whats your stance on them?

Jozone Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 if there was a 13w7 available to you at $500 (non-ebay) I would pick it up asap. I know a kid whos got 2 10w7's and ooooh man... they're sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momsoldt5 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I actually had this sub out of my old 4runner which got broken into, and at the time I had a 15" Titanium Eclipse sub, with an arc audio KAR 900 amp. That all got stolen, that was also a load of money. Now after all the insurance was taken care of, my insurance company bought me a whole new system, ie the 10"JL W7 and everything else that was taken too. Back to the point, the sub alone with its factory box from JL cost like 799.00. I would say if you are on a budget or you want to spend your money on a good sounding system and have some left over for like a turbo upgrade or something like that then I would go with Audiobahn. They hit darn hard and for the money you are going to spend that would probably be the way to go. On the other hand if you want to blow your nuts off then hands down go with the 13" W7. The 10" that I have hurts my chest when I have it turned up, so whos to say what the 13" will be like with the proper amp. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momsoldt5 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm good with just one W7 I can't imagine what two of them sound like. What kind of amps is your friend running to push those subs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderlord Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 quick OT q... I have the 12W0-4... in my custom enclosure... It's nice, but I'm starting to wonder about upgrading to the 12W3v2D-6 ... I have the class D Jl 500/1 amp... opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing_0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 good to hear, the w7 is definetly one of the best subs out there, a little over priced in my opinion, but stil a very good sub...i have installed a dozen or so, and they definetlty get very loud and sound pretty good.s70R:if you ahve a 500/1, then you can definetly upgrade to something beefier than a w0, the w3v.2 is a good choice, a w6v.2 is even better if you can fit one...some other suggestions just off the top of my head right now, the ones with a * are my personal favorites but they are all good subs that will do well with a 500/1, some will get louder than others, some are cheaper than others...etc eclipse aluminum 12*image dynamics idq12v.3*crytal cmp12alpine type Ralumapro alchemyDEI studiodiamond audio m6elemental designs*OZ audio matrix elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jozone Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 If I had a 500/1 id deffinetly go 13w6v2 or 10w7, then again Im obsessed with JL.The w6v2 is one of CA&E's favorites, and if i had the money (~$400 shipped off fleebay) Id certainly buy one.

Veneficus Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 You have the W7 in a sedan and you have no rattling? Hmm... must just be my spoiler because I have my whole trunk dampened like crazy and it still rattles. With my Kicker COMP VR :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
