Don't mix subs.

It would be better if you didn't even bother adding the 8w3's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Typically, you don't want to mix and match sub sizes and styles (i.e. a W7 with a W3v2). They have different frequency responses and such that more than likely won't blend well together. Also, the W7 will likely drown out the 8's....rendering them useless and a waste of money and install time.
