the x's are beasts.... but your power and sq preference makes me want to tell you to go w7.....

W7. More cone area, about the same SQ as the x and you can resell it for more down the road if you don't like it

Easy to burn, don't take big power not loud?

I've owned more than a few of the old Kicker ZR series...they are beasts for sure but they tend to not like 2ohm mono. The only time I've run a 2ohm mono successfully on a ZR series was running an Audiomobile MASS at 2ohms on a ZR240...thing kept shutting down after maybe a 1/2 hour or so of running hot(and the ZR's do run hot). I eventually replaced the bottom plate of the amp with plexi and I mounted 2 small fans to the plexi(one pulling air in, the other blowing air out). After that she ran at 2ohm no problemo.

For that reason alone I would recommend the W7. It has a single 3ohm coil and Kicker suggested running the ZR's at 2.66ohms. Plus 750-800rms sounds about right for a 10W7 and might not be enough to get the full potential out of the SWX.

Also there were significant changes to the the second gen SWX. There is a review floating around somewhere on the interweb that really digs into the differences. I'm at work so I can't do too much googling around to find it. The highlights were a lighter/stiffer cone and they extended the pole piece to create a larger magnetic gap which kept the coil in the gap during the entire stroke, similar to an underhung design. There were a few other things as well but it's been a while since I read the article. Do some poking around and you'll find it.

Ok thank you guys, i will try the W7 but for the box what is best ported or sealed and i think one cube is to small for sealed, i have max two cube and the boxe will be made of fiber glass in a boat!

Hi guys After a lot of reading on this forum i decide to go different, i see ssa dcon 10d4 in sealed box but what is the ideal size box for this sub, a brand new sub cost a fraction of the price of the w7, what do you think about that,thank's

Thank's but after a lot a reading i go with other thing but i'm not sure, i see for ssa gcon or sa-10, dc lv2 i search the best sub for small sealed box or maybe ported but i can put only round port, i don't like porte noise it's wy i go sealed and it's for my boat.

I live in quebec (canada) and in quebec these brand don't exist and i never see or eared a lot of sub like ab fi tantric etc

Everybody run alpine jl rockford so i don't want that.
