Having owned a 12w7, as well as Mag 15, Mag 12, Soundsplinters, DD's 3512, 9512 Composite cone, and heard a 100 others there are many better, especially for the money. JL is good, but overpriced and too many shmucks own it. For SQL I would say the Mag is better for sure, and costs less. I like my 9512 better than all, but its a lot more money. It all comes down to what you want, nobody can tell you
