ill get two and put em in the back corners of my ht room. ill start savin up now and then put a down payment on em when they come out along with a loan to help me get through the payments. im just playin but these thing do look sweet and will probably perform sweet as well.

no thanks ill take a svs b12 plus 4 thanks you with a set of crown k2s

btw its not a good idea to put subs into 2 different corners, you get phasing problems and is hard to correct ur better off putting both into one corner

it plays at 122 db at 16hz in room!

How can they build a box for 2 of these and put 3800 watts to them...They dont even warranty their subs if you put 3800 watts to them for your car!!?? Anyone?...

i dunno but i'm too ghetto for that sh!t. i'll stick to my tannoys

they can run 3800 because there not the regular w7's they are motofied and upgraded which takes them another step up from the w7

I read that the driver's were 'slightly' modified W7's. But I think anyone who believes JL just whipped up some W7's with an extra inch of excursion are only kidding themselves. If JL could build a workable W7 with 4" of excursion, they'd have released it as a W8 already. W7's are very intricate designs, it would be pretty involved to redesign it for an extra inch of excursion. Not saying its impossible (far from it), but I think if they'd have done this, they would have done more than quietly stuck it in a home audio cabinet, and nothing else.

From the things Ive read, the W7's were only slightly modified to better fit the home audio environment. I haven't read anything that said specifically what the changes were to the drivers, but I think if they'd have done that extensive of a redesign/rebuild, adding another inch of excursion, they would be advertising this, possibly as a new line of driver.

probably more mms...

to lower fs...

for home audio use

and also you cant build this system because its not the w7 series its higher performance then the w7 because they upped the wattage and gave it a 4 inch xmax instead of about 3

They probably didn’t do anything too special to the W7. On JL's site it says 4" of P2P excursion, not xmax. I believe there is plenty of suspension travel well beyond the linear limits of the motor, so that would explain the higher figure.

That's 3800w for two of them, which is 1900w each, which IIRC is still withing the warranty range (I believe they are warrantied up to 2000w).

Sounds to me like deagle44cmag has a major JL Audio boner //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

and no normal person is going to be feeding them sine waves at full power for a minute ...

That's why I'm not normal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

Warantee is void past 2000 watts period, according to their W7 power chart. But, the W7 will still not be covered under warantee if the coil is melted, even at much less than 2kwt.

also something to think about

if you think you have a true 3800 watts of power while reproducing music you need to be shot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

impedence rise begs to differ...i'd say in the REAL world a TRUE 2kw for the pair of subs, still plenty of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IMHO, 2kw for sub bass in HT is still overkill.
