What would you guys saying that a 13w7 isn't a great sub consider being a great sub if you don't consider the w7 being one?

Which would make your install better than his. Not make your sub better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

What would you call a really good subwoofer then?

LEGACY?? Oh wait I know Pyramid subs rock my jock!

No really who gets a sweet *** sub and a sweet amp and dosent have aftermarket High end? I mean that is like getting a haircut and saying take it all off the top and leave the side long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif Shit I just explained myself but mine is natural:crap:

People who care more about impressing their contemporaries than they care about overall system quality. It's the 'Mine hits louder than yours from across the parking lot' mentality.

Example:

I ran across a young man once upon a time that had (installed in an ext. cab Ford Ranger) with a pair of Kove Armeggedon 18s on some model or another old-school HiFonics amp. The amp was connected with what appeared to be 10awg black cable on the power side and 14~16awg blue cable on the ground side. The subs were connected with 20awg or so.

Completing (and I use the term loosely) this 'system' was the OEM cassette/radio with exactly one (1) working factory speaker in the passenger door.

Sounds like a real SQ contender, huh?

Seemingly this fella's only concern was not knowing why his amp kept going into protect mode. Fighting hard to restrain impending hysteria I guided him towards some larger gauge wiring suggesting nothing smaller than 2awg going from battery to amp and then the same size or bigger for ground and then left him to his own devices and a seriously deficient setup.
