personally id buy the BL's

2 15" BLs would get LOUDDDDDD with sufficient power

thanks guys i have not owned either one but everyone in the forums really seem to like BL's. Anyone know why, What is so good about them?

If you want some serious deep bass W7's all the way.

w7's can produce just about anything you'd be wanting. they are really really impressive.

But the BL produces everything you want and more.

which one of the two is the better overall sub? I like deep louds *** bass and im willing to give up a lil sq? but not too much! So which one these subs is abetter fit ?

the 13w7's love ALOT of power. the more the merrier. but with enuff power they are pretty incredible. really really tight powerful sub.

from what i understand the w7's (12's atleast) can't take much past 1000w....

All depends on what you want to do. The W7 is more of an SQ sub (although I've heard a lot of people say that the W6 actually sounds better). Fi makes awesome products, but I believe the BL is more SPL-geared. If you're looking for loudness AND SQ, Pick up a pair of SI Mags. If you don't want to upgrade your electrical, Might look into a pair of Fi SSDs with copper coils. Get them with soft spiders (have to request this by e-mail), and you'll only need around 1000w.
