[spenman47 10+ year member]

well i blew my 13w7 today and im sending in back hopefully to be warranted. though i have a quick question and please i want serious opinions.

what would be louder and sound better in a box built to specs sealed and ported throuhg the rear deck?

1 w713 or 2 w6 12's

both off a 1000/1v2

they will sound nice with those amps trust me with 1000 to each

anyhow 2 12 FI BL's or 2 AQ HDC3's with copper coils will do fine

i would do the 2 12 revo's though

how did you blow your w7? did u had the gains all the way up?

 

[spenman47 10+ year member]

no gain was about 3/8 the way up thats where i got very disappointed. i didnt even have it loud it just blew and why idk. yes i wired it correctly ive had it goin for 2 weeks strong now. so 2 revos will have 500 rms each? that seems very low but they look sexy as hell

The 13W7 might make a good base for a coffee table.

its overpriced guys but its not a bad driver sounds very good just shouldnt be 1200 bucks

hows the model below the revos the axis i believe? 600 rms each i could do that

where did you first get the 13w7 from?a dealer or online? and the 13w7 would be better than the 2 w6's

oh my bad bro i thought u said u had 2 of those jl amps

with 500 each i will go with the epics but theres some re audio se's going real cheap on ebay

 

[spenman47 10+ year member]

the se's are nice i have put those in for friends. i just want to make sure what i put in is not worse than the w7 if i do switch.

now the w7 was loud dont get me wrong i just want to know if i can hook 2 12's up to a 1000/1v2 and be louder but retain the sq of the w7

very true about the w7. it sucks they're not rebuildable and stuff, but they're still really good subs, sound good, and get loud overall.

with it sealed off behind the seats and ported through the deck it got very loud and i tuned it to 26 so it killed the lows. i just figured if i had to take it all out anyhow could i improve

That's a brilliant idea, suggest a sub that he can't even buy right now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
