Jl W7

I think he was tryin to say that the 10 could most likely Meter higher than the 12.

What do you think would be better for SQL ported or sealed? IT would be in a sedan.

I prefer the sound of a W7 ported over sealed.

Personally, I think the w7 sealed doesnt sound all that great, port that sucka!

What amp would you guys reccomend for the 12W7 because the 1000/1 is out of my price range.

W7 *****

W7 *****

Why

if you can go with a 12 ported with that 1000/1 and you wont be upset. due to past experiences with w7's iloved then ported nice clean low bass

Any amp capable of 500-1000 watts @ 3ohms. What is your budget like?

Uhhhh yeah. Depending on the install granted. But the 12" has more output potential than the 10".

Uhhhhh, No.

Not in any way does cone diameter by itself dictate how loud a driver will be.

Cone diameter more directly relates to overall frequency response.

A drivers efficiency rating is a better starting point to help determine it's potential "loudness."

The enclosure type, supplied power, crossover/EQ, and included tuning are what leads to the end result.

Above all, the install.

Xtant X1001

Depending on how comfortable you are with a serious amp, in which adjustments and tuning are done directly on the circuit board.

If you don't mind a different approach, and are willing to be patient, the X1001 will not disappoint.

Not really

The LMT's from TC dont have a very high effeciency but they get nasty loud.

Yes, it does, last time I checked. Basic phyics. 2x the cone area=2x as much surface area to move air=2xdisplacement=3dbs. Sure a larger sub wont' always be louder, but all other things equal, it is. If not there'd be no reason for subs to have a high amount of excursion. After all if excursion won't increase output, why not just let the sub move 1mm?

We are not talking about subs in general. We are talking about two specific subs that we know the specs on. He said the 12w7 has more POTENTIAL to be louder than the 10w7. Which in this case is 100% correct. Look at the key word....POTENTIAL, 12w7 has a higher Efficiency, more Linear Excursion, Larger cone area, and more power handling. I think thats enough facts to conclude the 12 can get louder than the 10

But do you think it would be a huge difference in sound in a sedan for with a ported enclosure? The 12W7 would be going off of a JL 1000/1 and the 10W7 would be going off a 500/1 (basically a 600$ difference for the 12 over the 10) Is it worth it?
