JL W6v2 v. 10W7

[frankiebones 10+ year member]

I couldn't make a comparison because I haven't heard a W6v2, I just know that the 10W7 sounds great with a 500/1. I was actually shocked when I heard it. I figured it would need more juice but the 500/1 pushed it nicely.

appreciate ur reply

from what i have read, alot of people have actually preferred the sound of a w6v2 to a w7 anyday. saying it sounds alot better and more musical.

both will have great sql, but the w6v2 is probly cheaper. i'd have given an input on how a 13w7 sounds, but i can't get my 20.1 to work right now. gr.

i just purchased a 10w7 but im going to power it with a eD nine.1 amp...so im guessing it should get ~700rms to the sub. im going to go with a ported box which in many peoples minds means i will lost SQ but a friend of mine has an 8w7 in a JL high output enclosure with a 500/1 on it and it does not miss a beat. Granted ive never heard any subs like a XXX but in my opinion the w7 crushes the w6v2 with the proper install...you sacrifice maybe a tiny tiny bit of sq for a whole lot more SPL..but yea my sub should get here by end of the week so hopefully it will be installed by the weekend and i can let you know some more details.

try and find one that you can listen to. I have only heard a w6 in a prefab sealed box, but it sounded like crap to me. maybe if i heard a better install, i would like it. but my vote goes to the w7 for meow
