[QUOTE="Pyro_By_Nature, post: 1777154, member: 558479"] x100 and x2 on the cheap comment I have played with almost every internet "boner" sub and to say the least, I am not that impressed with em'.People saying "yeah it'll slaughter when it really doesn't in a direct swap out.I've had enough of the "internet" company subs.Take the XXX for example (old one).Lots of people still say it gets louder and sounds better than the W7 at half the price (can't say that anymore) .Sound Quality is VERY subjective.I personally do not like the thin *** sound of the XXX, too lifeless, unreal.They can get *sorta* loud, but IMO its a weird loud that sounds like it has no balls.In short, I hate that sound.The W7 has a "fatter" more natural sound to it.I just like it a lot more. Power.Most people don't want/can't afford 2 million watts to get the XXX to its "potential".And if they can afford the power, they can't afford the electrical to support it.I'm talking about regular people here. Box size.For what they do, the W7's need fairly small sealed boxes.This is what most consumers want.Big sound, little box.Granted, when you're talking ported the size can get up there. Now, onto the pricing.If some of you people would ever leave your ****ing computer, and step into the real world.You'd find that W7's aren't all THAT expensive.I got a 12" W7 for a little over $400.FYI I don't even have it anymore.I had to return it [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] And I've seen tons of people who have gotten 12's from dealers BNIB w/ warranty for $400-$550. You people ***** and ***** about pricing, but if I remember correctly, the XXX new, direct, cost about $400ish.So don't start that "half the price" bull shit.When was the last time you saw a fully functional XXX that was brand new with warranty go for $250? As you can see, everything gets compared to the W7, why?It set the benchmark in performance.Like others have posted, yeah there are subs that get louder.Yeah there are subs the *might* sound better (subjective....remember?).But try finding one to do both. Will I be buying a W7 again anytime soon?I doubt it.I have a current sub that suites me just fine as it stands. [/QUOTE]
