[QUOTE="maldecido33, post: 2155331, member: 556412"] JL's, especially the W7's, are great subwoofers. Very, very good subs. However, they aren't a god-like sub like many people (IE. Shop owners (though they have a reason), and those uninformed) make them out to be. There are several other subs out there that will perform on par with them, and several more that will outperform them. And, chances are, they cost alot less. Look into the SI Mags ([URL="http://www.stereointegrity"]http://www.stereointegrity[/URL]), Fi BTL's ([URL="http://www.ficaraudio.com"]http://www.ficaraudio.com[/URL]). Hell, even the 2006 RE XXX's can be had for less than a W7 (if you buy it retail, not on eBay). Any of the aforementioned subs will outperform the W7, install dependent of course. The H.O. box is a very well engineered box. However, like before, a properly designed and built enclosure can be had for a fraction of the cost and will perform on par, if not above the H.O. box. That being said, I'd look elsewhere. However, if you have the cash, go ahead and get the W7 with the H.O. box; you won't be dissapointed, although your wallet may burn a little. [/QUOTE]
