IIRC they both have 3" Coils...the CVX may have 2.5, but I'm pretty sure on the W7.

Magnet sizes, I don't know.

What are you trying to do?

Well I am comparing specs on the woofers I might be getting. JL Audio W7, Kicker CVX, RF T2, MTX 9500

what are your goals?

budget?

of your choices, SQ/SQL wise, I'd say W7 easily

for SPL, I'd say 9500.

But, I'm thinking for the money, u may be able to do better than most your options.....

W7 if cash is there. 9500 would be my runner up.

What I am trying to achieve is get very loud but also still have decent amount of SQ. What would you guys put these subs in order of what I am trying to do? ALso if you could them in SPL order. I have a 270 mechman alternator with a XS Power D2400. My components are 2 sets of JL Audio ZR 6.5" on the HD600.4. Also how big of a role does the magnet weight ,voice coil, and xmax play a role in the performance of a sub?

SQ\SQL = W7, 9500, T2, CVX

SPL= 9500, W7, T2, CVX, In my opinion anyway, I'm no SPL expert

Magnet weight doesn't mean as much as say motor force, but that's not an end all determining factor either

Voice coil diameter helps predict what kinda power they'll take

Xmax is needed to displace air and make noise. Once, again, not an end all determining factor though.

i have 2 13w7s on 2 jl 1000/1 amps and on spl i metered a 147.8 with just one amp and one sub. haven't got it metered since i added the other sub and another amp.

Are you limited to just those woofers? For getting loud and not sounding bad of your choices, I'd suggest the 9500; but I gotta say I think u can do better.....maybe check out SSA...

From Kicker - the 8's, 10's, and 12's have 2.0 inch coils. The 15's use a 2.5 inch coil.

where were you metered, and what style?

OP, look into the SSA GCON

there is a car audio place on the east side that had a tent setup and was charging 20 to read your db. not sure what type first time ive had anything metered in my life. everyone there just talked about how theirs was louder but their waiting to get their amps fixed and what not lol.
