    Acquired a new JL 10W7. Not very impressed with its performance. Advice?

    You guys are right. After reading what seems to be hundreds of reviews about how awesome the w7's are, I guess I just hyped them up in my head to be some kind of physics defying magical speaker. Looks like I'll just be selling it to get something a little more substantial. Thanks for the help guys.

    Acquired a new JL 10W7. Not very impressed with its performance. Advice?

    Ok, that being said. Ditch the Ebay box... Got it. What about the distortion I'm hearing. It's clearly coming from the sub. While pointing the sub backwards will muffle some of that, that doesn't get rid of the actual distortion. Could that be from lack of break in, or is that also ****** ebay...

    Acquired a new JL 10W7. Not very impressed with its performance. Advice?

    I have recently traded some welding work for a brand new still in box JL 10W7. I have always heard great things about the W7, but have also always heard, "Don't bother, get Sundown, RE etc..." Again, This guy had one to trade, so that's what happened. I bought an Ebay 1.52 cu/ft ported box...

    Couple of noob questions bout my L7's and my MTX

    I don't know the meter that was used for the 145. It was just when my friends and I used to screw around with DB drags and stuff. I guess whatever the DB drag guys use??? I dunno man sorry.

    Introduction and current ideas

    Hmmm, ok, I was under the impression they were virtually the same. Thank you for clearing that up. However, which of the two amps did you run in the description you typed, the 81000d or the 1501d? I guess my question is which of those two was the one making 2200w at 1 ohm?

    Introduction and current ideas

    Also, one thing I am wondering about... Would 4 batteries be over kill for that one amp? Eventually I wan't to do two Crunch gp2500's. One for each sub wired at a 2 ohm load. But for now, is 4 car batteries just to much for one amp at 1500watts? If the amp cooks... whatever, but I don't want to...
