good 4 u........but heres a tip......u could have bought avalanche 15 for 225 and it would have the same if not more output and sq than a 13w7...but hay what can i say.......u wont be dissappointed with the w7

80

dont get the jl1000/1 for it...get the orion 1200 or the new autotek mm1000.1

i could of done that but i like the sound that jl makes i must admit though my old 12w6v2 had so much more clarity but this thing hits with only 500 watts but with the 500/1 its more like 700 so i'v heard

But nice purchase on the 13w7 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif Should make you real happy. Don't listen to the "but you could have got..." crowd, as they obviously can not tell you what you will and will not like better than the 13w7, so they are just talking out of their *** //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I thought you did not really prefer the sound of the W7 and it sounded like someone hitting a cardboard box.

I have yet to hear one setup that I like....but I blame the setups rather than the sub itself. And just because I don't prefer the sound of something, I'm not going to tell someone that they shouldn't either, or that they should like something better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

And after that first comment, I could foresee the thread heading in that direction........

I completely agree.

I think I'll trust Carsound's results over roadgearmag's:

http://www.carsound.com/review_archive/amps/jl_5001.html

620w@2ohms w/1% THD (resistive)

733w@2ohms w/1% THD (reactive)

I'd say that's pretty decent.

Was not aware of CS's test...........I got the link for the RGM straight off JL's site.

what is the difference between reactive and resistive?

good choice on sub...i recently heard my 1st dub7 setup: 13.5 in a 2.4 cubes tuned to 29hz off a 1000/1...the spl and sq were similar to my setup in my sig.
