i can say this..in the right box and atleast 15-2g's of power @4 ohms the rl-s 12 will **** the w7 as far as output and sq hands down
80

haha. well yeah.

your almost tripling the power.

assuming your going off the rms of a W7

If they were the same price, W7 hands down.
Best sub in that class by a long-shot.

First of all, I would like to know what hzsogoods priorities are. SPL,SQ, or money. If it is a combination of everything I would add a few subs to the list and remove a few. I agree with the above statement, but fact of the matter they are not. So I think price should be taking into consideration. Unfortunately the W7 is grossly overpriced and the Ti also to some extent. So if money is of no concern, I agree the W7 takes the cake. But, with money and the "SQ with good output" bit in mind I'd look at the Brahma, IDMAX, and maybe a SI Mag.

I will give this little nugget also since hzsogood did mention subs of 2006. Apperently the Ti's long run in Eclipse's stable of metal cone subs may have come to an end. After having problems with the one of their metal cone subs build house in 2005 (ie SW9152 being on BO for over 3 months) I have been told that they will probably introduce a couple of new subs at CES this year. Possibly one that is replacing the Ti. So maybe when we know what that sub is, you can add that to your list.

Would these be non-TC Sounds subwoofers?

As of right now TC builds (as you no doubt know) the Ti Pro and Ti, and also the 7300 series aluminums and from what I've heard is that both of these lines will be discontinued. It has been hinted to me that Eclipse will possibly be resurrecting a previous metal cone line of subwoofers that was discontinued some time ago. Don't know if they will be made by TC or from whoever builds the current 7100 series or someone else altogether.
