VP1, check my signature and you will se I am running a 10w7 powered ONLY by 250x1 rms. This sub is supposed to have 400-500 rms to perform well and with my setup it gives me a headache. I have to turn the bass down to -3 or 0 a lot with most of my music, and again thats running the sub at half of its capabilities.
I listen to hip hop and trance, so I listen to some very deep music. My 10w7 straight blows people away, no questios asked.
a 13w7 would prob be overkill, as ou would have to listen to the sub with the gain turned way down a lot of the time unless you were showing it off. My 10w7 causes rattling already in the hatch/license plate.
As far as the haters of JL, thats what they are, haters. Yes there may be cheaper/better/nicer subs in people's opinion, however, I dont care what anybody say......JL IS THE STANDARD for the mass market and they are top notch subs. But that is the beauty of being a consumer in a free market economy, you can chose whatever you want. That being said, I love my w7 and will probably downgrade to a w3 or w6 in order to fit into a zenclosures box and reduce some weight.
