JL probably then if u want clarity and sound quality... it will still get loud but not like the kickers...

So you can get your new shit jacked?

Anyway, like has been said, the Kickers are strictly SPL - they will be loud if you give them enough room and power, but won't sound very musical. The JLs will be loud and sound pretty good, but they are expensive and looked down upon here. Look into a couple Stereo Integrity Magnums (12s or 15s, whichever you have room for). They will be louder than the JLs and sound good/better.

i'm a newby here, but just got the kicker cvx 12's and they sound good and you can definately hear them far away. shipped for $180 not a bad deal. they can handle a pretty strong amp as well.

listen, if your gonna get the jl 13w7's please make sure you power them properly. They deserve to be powered by two jl 1000/1's or similiar. Dont bother wasting your money on them if you dont plan to power them properly. If you do not plan on spending that much money, then i suggest you get 2 12 w6v2" and make an ported enclosure, ofcourse theres other subs out there but im a huge jl audio fan, so the choice is yours.
