i have 3 12w6v2, since i was newly enlightened i will probably be pushing them with a Memphis mojo. the box i have is probably temporary but it is one chamber sealed. i dive a 91 integra hatch back. i have an optima batt. and im upgrading my big 3. is one 150 unrealistic?

port them bishes and tune em high. you might be able to.... but since those are SQ woofers, don't expect huge SPL numbers.

but do these look ok

You could do it....and the w6v2 is more SPL than a w7 this coming from a JL rep i meet at a show....i believe him though....i had 2 in a crappy JL HO box and did a 148 on A/C mic....i dont think its unrealistic to do in a HB...good luck

Anything can happen

I fart in the 155 range after a night out at Taco Bell.

It's possible in that car. Different box, and LOTS of tuning. I would find the resonant freq of that car, and work from there.

I can't say that I would try it with w6v2s... if I were you, and I wanted to go SPL, then I would sell them on the forum, and look into going with a single 18.

sq is more important to me. i dont really wanna play huge spl all the time

A guy I used to work for threw up a 151 in a CRX off one 15" MT and a pair of VFL400.1's. It's a Street B vehicle, too, so only one battery... Not too shabby.

He's shooting for mid to high 150's after it's all said and done.

to get high SPL #'s you need a good amount of power... and those don't do to well with lots of power. yes you can do it, but you might sacrifice your woofer getting there.

Whos installing it...tell em tune around 40hz if their porting them...which is what most would do....honestly you'll be surprised....even if it doesnt hit 150,itll be **** loud...again good luck
