how to beat a W7

Ah cool, the 'beat the W7' game.... again.

What are we wanting to beat W7's at? Output? SQ? SQL?

If its raw SPL, that's easy enough.... build a serious SPL install. Look what Nate Munson did with a single 10... almost 170db. So Im confident you could build something, with just about any good subs, to beat your friend's SPL score. Only question is how serious you are about. If your seriousness only goes so far as to try to find speakers that will magically drop in some prefab sealed enclosure and start owning your local lanes, you aren't serious enough.

If you want to beat a W7 in strict SQ, that's easy enough too. There are many more musical subs on the market than the W7, assuming the proper enclosures.

But, neither raw SPL or strict SQ are the W7's bread n butter. If you are wanting to beat it in SQL, you're gonna have to step up to something like an 06xxx and start using xmax figures to back up your decision, try one of the other 'supersubs' similar in performance to the W7 and rely on 'personal opinion' to decide you own a better SQL setup, or give up and accept the fact that the W7 is still one of the top SQL subs made on the planet, and simply finding another subwoofer that will 'blow it away' in SQL just isn't gonna happen at this point.

 
yes because they built it bigger then a w7 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
have you heard 2 dub 7's compared to 2 9500's..

i personaly think the 7's are louder and have much better SQ, but im not sure how good of a install the kid did on his 9500's so i dont know

 
yeh i like the JL because you can just feel it so much more, like loud subs shake stuff and you can feel them but the JL had a rock solid feel to it, and i think in my sub im mostly lookin to compete with JL's SQ and SPL
