I was offered to buy a JL 8w7 for $290. I dont know much about systems i'll admit. But from what some people tell me the JL 8w7 is pretty beast. What do you guys think? should i get that and run it. Or should I go for another offer for two 12'' eclipses for $350?

2 12s will be louder and sound better. The W7s are badass subs, but a 8" W7 won't compare to two 12" Eclipses.

JL makes AWESOME subs. But it's a fact that a single 8" can't move as much air as duel 12" subs. I dont even know why they still make 8" subs. Get the 12's. They will hit harder and louder.

Yeah thats what i figurerd...I'm still trying to find out what model the Eclipses are because I'd really like to get my hands on some Titaniums. I just got offered another JL 8w7's for $250. So what about two 8w7's compared to 2 12's? I'm still leaning towards the eclipses. Thanks for the replies. Late.

2 12s still has greater cone area than 2 8s. Unless they are like audiobahns and half the cone area is taken up by useless surround.

Id personally go with one badass sub than two mediocre subs.

what kind of sub are you suggesting? I'm more into SQL than SPL. I heard DD's werent too bad either.

Ive had experience with L7's and dont have a single complaint. One 12" L7 would sound clean and hit hard also. I think that one sub sounds cleaner than two.

damn those subs were sold before I could buy em :disappoin But I got a new offer for a sub called a Cyclone...anyone ever heard of it?
