[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 7739139, member: 588169"] The 8W7 is bad-a$$. I've been a car audio professional and/or hobbyist for over two decades and the 8W7 may be one of the most impressive drivers I've ever used. You would be hard-pressed to find another 8 that delivers the SQ, output, and build quality that the 8W7 does. All that being said $300+ each is a lot of money...kinda...The reason I say 'kinda' is when I consider what the rest of my system cost (Scanspeak Revelator mids and tweets, Alpine F1 Status x-overs, Morel SW9 midbass...) $300 really isn't that much...Hell just one of my mids costs about $250. Can you buy more subwoofer for the money? Sure can. A $200 TC Epic 12 from PE would destroy an 8W7 in just about every way...doesn't mean it's the right driver for the job, but it will certainly (generally) out perform an 8W7. As far as 'value' goes...it's really in the wallet of the beholder... [/QUOTE]
