The W3's are going to be way louder but the SQ wont be there. Not sure if the air space is good enough though.

x2

but if you really wanted to go with JL i would go for either 2w6's or 1 dub7

but like manny said its way overpriced

you can get better subs for 1/2 the price of theirs. i dont get why they cost so much. dont get me wrong they sound good just not the best ive heard

Thanks for the insight...

I would look for underground subs, but the hook up I have where I purchase the subs, if I don't like it, they'll exchange it no problems asked.

Well, for now I am staying with 4 10W1 woofers in 2.5 CU Ft and 1500 RMS. We are talking about fiber glassing a box, and squeezing out as much airspace as we can to see if i can run 4 12s or a couple of 13" subs. If I need too, I will upgrade my battery, wiring, and buy another RF 1500 amp...

One other question - the specs seem they would work, but in real world performance would 2 12" FI SSD hit better than 2 W6s in 2.5 CU FT and 1500 RMS?
