2 12 JL W6s vs 4 12 JL W3s vs 1 13" JL W7

The W7 is not efficient at all

I would have to disagree

What's special about the W7 SGLC design is the pole piece. It is modified to flatten the BL curve substantially, thus greatly reducing distortion and improving BL flatness.

Another advantage of a flat BL curve is that more power is converted into movement, rather than wasted as heat. The more BL you lose, the more power you waste. That's why you see compression on the lowend in power tests on subwoofers as the power increases. This occurs at a slower rate with flat BL drivers, although at xmax all drivers typically exhibit several dB of compression on the lowend.

It is a pretty efficient driver compared to many.

You should know by now theres no rationalizing with the jl haters. Good point tho.

Anyways op on same 1000/1 id probably go the w6's too. But if you love the lows, between those too id say build a nice ported box for the 13 and youd like it better. I had a pair of 12w6v2s off a 1000/1 for a long time and i like the low end sound better on the w7. Just MY experience tho.
