JL 8W7 vs. JL 10W6V2..Opinions Needed

[lion320 10+ year member]

Debating between 8w7 and 10w6v2, I will be running the subwoofer sealed due to needed trunk space. I really like the 8w7 but havent had the oppotunity of hearing the 10w6v2 sealed yet. Please post your opinions/ experience with the each sub if possible.

I hear the w6 series has much better sound quality than the w7's. Plus the 10 will help you hit the lows better.

Have you heard the 8w7? Do you like it?

If so, get it and put around 500 watts on it.

I have had my 10w6v2 for a few weeks, just haven't had time to install it, or any of my other stereo equipment really (me being lazy also doesn't help).//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It will be in the JL Audio recommended .625 sealed enclosure getting a good 400rms to it. Should be plenty of power and sound good in my little civic hatch. I'll let you know how it sounds once I do have it installed (hopefully this weekend), but I really don't have anything to compare it to.

I'd just try and find somebody with an 8w7 and 10w6 to compare if you want to know which one to buy though. Might be kinda hard since the install can make a huge difference from what I have read, but at least you will have an idea.

I currently run a 8W7 and I love the thing to death!!! The only thing is I had it in a sealed box for 2-3 months and wasn't to happy with the SQ either. The output wasn't anything to write home about as well. I currently have it in a 1.03@28 and let me tell you she wangs beautifuly!!! The SQ from it is also noticly better. I never heard a 10v6 so i can't help ya there. There is also the "thats only and 8" affect which is very cool to have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
