2 JL 12w6v2 or 1 12w7

I currently have a JL 12w7 hooked up to a JL 1000/1 amp. I was thinking about selling the 12w7 and getting a Pair of 12w6v2 and hook it up to the same amp. What do You guys think?

sounds good to me. Definite SPL increase and many perfer the sq of the w6v2 over the w7

Sorry for making too many topics but, I like to hear experts opinion before I make a decision on my system.

its ok, but let me warn you there are very very few experts on here,

 

I know I am not one and I have been in car audio for 12 years or so

It sounds like a better option to me, but whats wrong with your current w7? Are you just seeking a bit more output?

It's ok but someone told me that 2 12w6v2 will sound better with the same amp. I also have my w7 in a sealed box and I dont feel like i'm getting enough bass. should I try a ported box or just go ahead and sell the w7 and get a pair of w6v2's?

p.s.

And in response to denim, if you're not an expert then I am far from an expert cause you sound like you know your stuff.

putting that W7 in a sealed box is like putting a bull in a closet, port it and let it be free, you will be much happier

plus is your sealed box a custom or jl one???

if you got the wrong specs on the box you mine as well put anything in there

A single W7 will be louder (given the RIGHT box...even sealed) than a pair of W6s.

You're going to miss the lower end extension of the W7 if you "downgrade" to the W6s.

I'd consider getting the right box made -- that's the likely source of your dissatisfaction.

I got to hear a 10w7 over the weekend on a 500/1. Ina ported box, the guy didn't know what freq or the size. But **** was it loud, puts alot of 12s and 15s to shame.

i personal dont like any of the JL's.. i think they are mainly made for sq... im not going to lie to you they are top line subs but i perfer kicker all the way...

when i first heard kickers in action at a shop i was just shocked on how hard they hit on bass.. but even the guy at the shop told me to stick with jls.. but i just didnt care i got myself a l7 x2

for your question... 12w6v2

I have the w7 in a subzone sealed box. This guy that does custom work is gonna make a ported enclosure for me and he thinks I should keep the w7 because once I hear it with a port, the difference will be insane.

ported w7's can get really F'n loud and still sound good, i say stick with the w7. and although they can probably take more power than that 1000/1 (depends on the box i guess), it will still sound really nice.
