If you're caring about loud, I'd not be looking at either of those. The Fi BL would probably be a better match for you. Putting it in a proper ported enclosure is vitally important as well.

from what I have experienced and read, a lot of ppl say they dont like the w7 1 bc of price (obviously), and 2 bc its too much of a low end monster

Ahh your original remark about getting lower was in comaring the BL and the Q.

Well just look at the Xmax of the Q vs the BL. Obviously the Q will go lower.

I personally have not heard the q... I have heard the w7 in many different boxes/applications and do like the woofer itself, not the price tho....

It really is a good woofer and beefy esp for a "SQ" woofer.... doesnt take much power to shine, 500w for the 12and you are fine.

obviously themost important part of the arguement is the box itself... If both put into its proper application they will both make you happy and get pretty damn loud

Just buy the Q its cheaper and easier to recone if you blow it.
