[QUOTE="frankiebones, post: 2419226, member: 567452"] i wanna upgrade from my w6 to a w7 (hopefully santa appreciates the diff in these 2 models). if i got a [B]10[/B]w7, the 500/1 amp i am pushing my 12w6 with would produce the optimum wattage for the sub. if i got a 12w7, which is 750 W rms as opposed to 500 W rms, the sub would be underpowered. what would seem like logic to me since i am more than happy with my JL 500/1 would be to go with the 10 over the 12, and give it optimum power. however, a tech rep at JL i spoke to, who was obviously very familiar with JL products told me that if i want more output to go with the larger 12w7 over the 10. i know SPL is related to cone size but how much of a diff in SPL would there be bw a 10w7 and a 12w7?? should probably mention that i am either gonna grab the prowedge box bc it looks so badass, but if not, i would just be building a box to the specs JL gives for sealed enclosures. (never built a box before, time to man up). my recent experience with my morel components, which saw a ridiculous increase in SQ when i bridged my amp and gave them the voltage they deserve makes me think i should ignore the JL guy and get the smaller 10w7 and have it powered in the 'optimum' zone according to the charts on jl's website.
