Hey guys. I was wondering if I should get the L7's... I was intrested in JL Audio W7's, but they said I would need this $1000 amp and all that and then I will need a new alternator, when I already have two 12's running in the back with a cap... but anways lol... do you recommend the L7's? Thanks a lot for your time!

 

Well L7s are ALOT cheaper than W7s....both sound like shit. Fi Qs, Eclipse TIs, SI Mags, all those subs can out perform both of those subs in SPL and will blow them away in SQ. There are many others as well.

 

while i may not be the biggest fan of jl, their w7s are phenomenal speakers, sq and spl-wise... a long way from sounding like shit.

the l7's on the other hand do blow donkeys.

 

w7s sound like shit? thats dumber than sagging lcds...

W7s and L7s arent even in the same class of subwoofer.

 

Hmmm...I guess ya'll love that "wooshy" sound they make.

 

what the hell ghetto ass rip-off W7 were you listening to? it must have been blown or something because i've heard some extremely good sounding + loud W7's.

L7's on the other hand are extremely loud but dont sound quite good at all in my opinion.

Who's "they"?

 

l7s are very loud subs, as said above there not as clean as the w7 though.. but honestly if your going w7 id for sure go eclipse titanuim first..

 

Yes I love my TIs, ya'll might see them in action Sat.

But I was listening to brand new W7s each off a JL 1000/1 ported in a magnum (3 w7s). Very wooshy sound, very good SPL though.

 

I think I know that guy, if so, I've worked on the car a couple times. Box is too small.


The w7 is easily one of the best subs out there, but you're gonna pay for it. As far as L7 vs. w7, they both require near the same amount of power, so needing a high output alternator would apply to both. Although the w7 will murder the L7. You may want to look into the w6, it requires half the power of the w7 and is very impressive as well....spl-wise, I'd say it's as good if not better than the w7.

 

The Purple Magnum on color matched floaters? with like 4 Eminence speakers in each door? Now that you do mention it, it was kinda of a small box, it was all fiberglass though, after displacement it couldn't of been more than 3 cubes. I got almost 4 cubes for my 2 subs alone.

And yea, I have heard W6v2s, and would buy them all day over the W7s.
