w6 vs w7

15" Ascendant Audio Havoc off of a SAZ-1500D or the new SAE-1200D sundown is preselling if you want something with great SQ and output

SAE-1200D? where can this be found?

I have the stock Navigation HU from Chevy/Bose and I'm happy with it..

I wanted to keep the system stealth and not change the HU unless it was a necessity.

As for space, I wanted to utilize one sub in between the Captains chairs of the second row and mount each amp to the backs of each chair in the second row.

For the box I have 2'x1.33'x1.5' to fit something.. I'd have a custom enclosure built to 2CF for the 13" w6.

It would look clean and stealthy I think.

Im not looking to put 2000wrms to a sub, I wanted good clean bass to compliment the comps.

Nobody is bothering to mention the down side to the W6. It would require a considerably bigger box than the 10" W7 would.

Just throwing that out there.

very nice...to bad I dont have the money for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

well If you want to go that route I would still look into maybe one fi q 12 with either the sae-1200d or an aq1200d. Would save you a bunch in monies and still sound great. You could then match that sundown amp with a sax-100.4 considering they are having a preorder sale as well right now.

I see, then any thought of a signal processor or line driver, to integrate after market amps into your factory setup, JL CleanSweep, Rockford 3sixty, I am sure there are more but those 2 seem to be popular. Also not 100% sure what would be best to integrate.

13w6 ported tuned around 30-32 hz with the pdx 600.1 should be great.

I read that the cleansweep is the best OEM integrator..

You're just jealous you didn't think of it.

What are you looking for from the system? If you're looking for good sound at reasonable levels, I'd actually go with one of the smaller JL drivers to save some space. It will still have plenty of output. The people suggesting several big subs in ported boxes and lots of power mostly wouldn't know actual good sound if it slapped them in the face. They consider "loud" and "good" the same thing. If quantity is the only quality that you care about, sure go with something other than JL. If you want a sub that sounds great with music, JL is an excellent choice.

I would place the majority of my focus and budget on getting good integration with the factory headunit and getting the best front stage that you can afford. The sub is only a tiny part of the total sound of the system.

did you read the posts? everyone suggested bigger drivers until he stated exactly where he was going to put it. Then drivers that would sound just as good were suggested so that he wouldnt have to use as much space or spend that much money. A single fi q 12 would more than satisfy him and I would choose it any day over a jl...that is however my opinion.

I missed that one part of that one post.

If I was looking at other than JL (though I'm guessing that he's trying to get it all locally since it's going to be professionally installed by the looks of things), I'd look at the Mach 5 IXL series instead of the Fi since it seems that the only reason anyone bags on JL is the price...the Mach 5 is about $100 cheaper than the Fi. The IXL also wants an even smaller box. .5cf sealed for the 10 and .75 for the 12. Also significantly more efficient by all accounts.
