Replacing 10w7 and 10w0's with ????

[tmorefi]

Looking for some help. This all in my boat and I'm looking to mix it up some. I have 1 JL 10w7 in a sealed enclosure powered by a 500/1 and 2 JL 10w0's in a sealed enclosure powered by a hifonics bx1000d. Here's the problem. The location where I have the 10w7 is really bad and it gets very muffled. Also, not at all impressed with the output of the 10w0's but the location is good. I'm thinking of getting rid of the 10w7 al together and replacing the 2 10w0's with 2 10w3's and powering them with my 500/1. Will the 500 be enough for the 2 10w3's and will that set up be significantly better then my current? I feel my poor 10w7 just can't get heard where it's located. Thoughts?

Thanks.

why not just get a 12?

Space. Hard to explain but I can fit 2 10's but cannot fit 1 12. Sounds strange but it's true.

Why not power the 10w7 with the Hifonics? I'm not a JL hater but 10w3's are kind of expensive imo. Why not get 2 12's or a beefy a$$ 15. That would probably solve all your problems.

Sorry. I was writing same time you were. The 10w7 needs more power... I think they're pretty underrated from what I've heard.

Location is the hardest part in a boat. I have a great spot for the 2 10's so I'm just trying to figure out what to put there. I don't like the current set-up at all. I'm definitely not going to buy another 10w7 and the power required for that.

Stop buying jl and design a good enclosure and buy some better subs for the $

Get to SSA DCON 10s, put them on the hifonics and set gains for 800wrms

Will put thoughs jls to shame

how much do you want for your 10 w7?
