Re: JL Subs really worth it?
budget?
If you're looking at a w7 and 500/1 pair I assume it must be large, but I'm asking to make sure. Keep in mind, the w7 sucks a nut at anything over ~50hz, it just sounds crappy. If you want to get it, and you want all frequencies to actually be audible and blend somewhat well, you will need a VERY strong front stage, as in multiple sets of components or custom ported door pods for a single set of components. I would look into a shiva if I were you, it will work well off of 300rms. But if you have the budget for a w7/jl amp then you have the budget for a xxx/1500+ watt setup though, which will sound better and get MUCH louder than the w7/500x1 setup.

Re: JL Subs really worth it?
What you want for now from what you are talking is a shiva. It fits perfectly for what your describing and is a GREAT driver. Its only 125 and shipping should be only 10-15 from adire. It will outperform any JL except for the w7. Instead of a w7 go with a brahma 15 from adire or an xxx from re. The hifonics brutus 1500 is a popular amp for these and they aren't too expensive.

Re: JL Subs really worth it?
The shiva is a large box 12" sound quality sub made by Adire Audio, one of the most well respected speaker manufacturers out there.
www.adireaudio.com http://www.adireaudio.com/mobile_aud...vers/shiva.htm If you don't believe me, run a search for "adire" or "shiva" on www.caraudioforum.com

Re: JL Subs really worth it?
Eric, no offense, but please don't come on here trash talking companies you have no prior knowledge of. JL is inferior to these. Mainstream=pos

Re: JL Subs really worth it?
wow... sorry guys, I have honestly never heard of Shiva.. where is the company based? Maybe cuz Im from Canada and it isnt offered here. I dont know.
I did not mean to trash talk Shiva. I was just saying to beware, and to stay away from low-quality speakers. BTW, no offense taken, I simply stand corrected

Re: JL Subs really worth it?
Yeah it's up there, but it won't beat out the w6v2 or the w7, then again it shouldn't be able to for the price. But for the money it is a VERY good sub.
