get a 10inch mtx 9500
lasts longer, alot cheaper
and as far as the amp goesthey sell this class d amp (mtx)
that will power the 9500 to teh fullest without overpowering it

mtx vs. jl vs. alpine vs. kicker
they did a contest seeing what sub can last the longest
with over powering just a lil bit mabye by 100 watts over powering.

alpine lasted 3 seconds at full power at the loudest crank
then came jl with a wopping 5 seconds while kicker lasted almost as long as mtx at 10 seconds. mtx was still pounding. i have 2 mtx 12inch 8000's in a mtx sledgehammer box (2 sided vented) with the class d amp and i am very happy with my setup. Also have ppi interiors amped to a 404 mtx amp.

jl audio you pay for the name mosstly mtx has a better warrenty and i personally think hits louder and quicker, jl hits deeper but not as hard as you would want the back massage from all the bass being kicked into you.
i hope this post will help you decide

that "contest" doesnt prove or show anything...who the hell cares how long they last with overpowering - that isnt how you use them usually anyway.

all the MTX equipment is like a hundred bux cheaper than the JL. BUt I do personally like the way the W7 hits. Granted I've never heard the mtx9500 10in. Would the 801D amp be too much power if I went the mtx route? 4 or 2 ohms?
