[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7284780, member: 622908"] Here's my problem with both your post, and JL. Most people want to get loud on less, so the 2 W7s make more sense as that's more 'wow' factor. The fact that my 2 12's are louder than pretty much any 4 15s I come across had a lot to do with why I did what I did. I know I could be louder on 2 18s but when I do my wall it will be 4 12's. You said in your post too that Kicker usually can get louder in the vehicle than JL and people can spout the SQ crap all day long and that Kicker isn't an SQ sub (it's not I know that), but an enclosure built right, with good clean power and 90% of your woofers out there are going to sound better than the quality of music that will be played in them. Very few people actually build for SQ, most people say "I want it loud but I want it to sound good" and nearly any brand will do that. Kicker does this with less cone area than any other big name brand. There are a lot of unknowns that can do it too but beyond these forums and the underground they are just that, unknown. And to further clarify what I meant about that most subs can play better SQ than the music they play. By the time you take into acct. the distortion on the media (MP3, cd), head unit, amp the majority of your systems aren't going to be SQ all that much anyways. The thing is most people's ears can't tell the difference. [/QUOTE]
