He doesnt like the sound of the ported boxes too much (you know that unmistakeable sound of the air being pushed through the slot, happens in every ported box, no escaping it), but I still dont understand why his sealed box is so big. I can tell you this it gets crazy low, i mean dirty low. It hits hard...mine hits harder though.And yeah maybe my friend doesnt have his 15xxx wired right with the jbl 1200.1, but tonight we met up and there is no denying that mine out pounded that thing. Im not sure the dimensions of his box but its fairly big and sealed, and mine is ported so maybe that makes the difference. Plus he has a JBL 1200.1 which probably puts out right above 1050 watts at the 1.167 ohms xxx's are wired to, and I have a JL 1000/1, which is most definately underrated like most all os their products (plus its at 1.5 ohms wired to the 13W7 so i think it has 5% more output at lower resistance), so I am probably pumping out more watts and more quality watts than he is. I mean JBL's are good products...but they dont compare with the JL 1000/1. So I know first hand, a 13W7 in a ported box will most definatly outpound a 15 XXX in a sealed box (and it might even beat it in a ported box, it was a fairly large margin of difference). So if you have a 13W7 and a 15XXX in similar nbox conditions being powered the same, I would have to say the 13W7 takes the prize here in both SQ and SPL. Keep in mind the 13W7 is not a 13 inch sub, it is actually about 14.25 inches, I can post a pic of that soon if you want.  I mean its great that he saved about 500 more than me on the sub and amp, but mines louder and sounds better, and thats what it really all comes down to in the end, am I right?</blockquote>
