it wont be overkill. but it will be pretty **** loud and still sound decent. make sure you get a good box made for them.

the local shop wants 285 to build a box does that sound fair or should ikeep looking

w7=sq sub, although it may not be the loudest sub, but it should be loud enough for you! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'd keep both and put in a custom box

Whats that amp putting out?

Edit:

You can build you own box for under like $40 if you have some common tools.

$21-sheet of mdf

$12 Carpet

$6 glue

+ whatever else you want

that's on par with most shops. you could build it yourself for approx. 50 bucks worth of materials though if possible.

don't let that sq description steer you away from W7's. they're awesome subs. only thing that steer me away are the price. they get plenty loud.

Yeah, by sq, that means they'll get loud and still sound good //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

BTW, there's multiple sites out there with box calculators that take all of the math out of the box's, and make them really easy to construct.

Doesn't look like a whole lot of port area.

keep them both and just build a box yourself.

thanx that place in new york sounds like the way to go

Why not go with a sealed enclosure? They have a flatter freq response, and with the kind of power you're pushing, it would still get hellaciously loud. They are also much easier to build than ported boxes.
