Any subs comparable to a 13w7? Want a new setup.

[benner410 10+ year member]

So right now I have a 12" Rockford P3 powered by a 1000w (500rms) Kenwood amp, running at 2 ohms in a ported box. The cable is 8g. It's decently loud, but last night I was riding around with a guy who had a 13w7 and it blew me away (set off a few car alarms, amazingly loud while maintaining sq). My ears are still throbbing lol. Anyway, I got in my car today and cranked up my stereo and just felt deprived.

Now I am set on getting some crazy bass comparable, or even better than that of a 13w7. The only problem is.... the price. I have been told that people pay for the JL name. Is this true? Are there any setups that can be had for less cash that compare? I would like to get a good deal, but not go cheap if you get what I'm saying.

Any help would be great. Thanks guys!

P.S. I'm not one of these douchebags concerned with "mega bass" and no sq. I hate that crap. Just wanted to say that before I get flamed lol.

yes there are many comparible woofers in that category. i would go with an audioque hdc3 or maybe even an FI Q or BL. The audioque is right around 250 depending on which size you get but im not sure about FI. i know its cheaper than a w7 though. thats just a few though. there are more knowledgable people on this forum that will give you some better suggestions. i just thought those subs were a good place to start. i hope this helped.

p.s. the audioque will get a lot louder than the w7 too.

Whatever you do, make sure you get a new amp and a budget. Budget first

Thanks for the replies. Could someone suggest a particular sub + amp combo? The Audioque looks real nice.

They'll have an easier time making a good suggestion if they know what your budget looks like...

So let's say I go with the HDC3 12" and AQ1200D or 2200 amp. Would that be some pretty good pounding for my trunk? I'm looking to compare to a 13w7 here. I guess I would have to switch to 1/0 awg cable vs. my 8 awg lol. Plus new box (I have a small one right now). Any other recommendations? I want some CRISP POUNDING bass. Thanks!
