[QUOTE="JohnBlayz142, post: 2426999, member: 564752"] As a big fan of JL and their products, and as somebody that used to sell/install them, I would highly recommend going ported with both the w6v2 and the w7. They both sound very nice in the sealed enclosures, but the output and low end extension you gain from the ported enclosure is highly worth it. If I were you I would look into a 13w6v2. A single one of those ported will get quite loud. Feel free to ask more opinions though, as I have extensively listened to just about all of JL's subs. The w3v3 I've only heard sealed in 1 setup however. About the SPL sensitivity rating, it's not an end all statistic at all. It's how loud the given sub will play with 1 watt on it, measured from 1 meter away. Just a simple efficiency rating. When properly powered, the sub's features and specifications as well as your install/enclosure will dictate how loud you can get. [/QUOTE]
