I'd save your money man, I can think of 4 people right now that I know that spent the cash on W7s and ended up realizing for the money they could have bought something wayyyyyy better.

Sweet man! You're like me! Can't keep it the same for long. I've been missing the lows that my 8's couldn't hit for the past little while, so I threw back in my DC Audio XL 15" and man it pounds off that 3.5K. lol. I might have convinced myself to do a (4) 15 setup...

I think the set up is staying like this for a little longer I suppose at least until I take care of the electrical upgrades. So far everybody that has rode with me has found it to be too much at 20/40 on the headunit and bass **** at 75% and these were people that loved my two 10s under the backseat at full volume

I can honestly say I'm like before I'd be pushing that + button until it didn't give me any more. Now at 20/40 I find it good enough to cruise around with a smile on my face.... at least while the subs break in I don't want to push them too hard.

Alright. Just curious because I've heard some really mixed reviews about them. Heard people say they are more for clear clean bass as opposed to loud punchy bass.

thinkin about throwin a pa under the bed of my truck for when we're all hanging out by a fire or something like that and I don't wanna blow my door speakers by turning it up to much. thinking about goin to radio shack an grabbin one since ill be out that way tomorrow, should I get the 50 or the 100 watt? heard the 50 is nice an crisp an clear but not as loud and the 100 is louder but not as clear an kinda scratchy. also gonna hook it up to a switch to have it on an off. I don't think it would be wise to do this but can I hook it up to my 2000.1 hifonics Brutus elite amp to make it louder instead of hooking up another amp? thanks guys an sorry for butting in ivan lol just want a quick answer you could probably help me with
