Quick question, which one would you take and why?

I used to own 2 10w6v2 in a prowedge enclosure powered by a 500/1 but had to return it due to some personal reasons.

So im subless again and will need to buy again soon.

I like the thought of having 2 subs, i think i can tell the difference rather than having one but when it comes to the w7 is 2 10's an overkill in my stock 3G TL?

I had one 8" w7 on 250/1 but that thing clipped and eventually the rim had a tear, it was also disappointing listening to rap cuz i couldn't crank it. so i have this fear the 10w7 might do the same?

obtw the 8w7 was used from a friend and had it powered under his 500/1 w/ low gain so it could have happened before i got it in my hands, none the less a 8 is too weak for me.

OR should i go for 2 8w7??
Thanks

No should in here... I'm not going to "should" on you, anyway.

You've had something you liked. I wouldn't overthink it too much past that. Do what works for you.

I think that you could outpace the OEM system with 2 10"s with enough power. I dont know if the 500/1 is too much power... but I'd say that if you liked it before you'll like it again.

Oh, you 44-year olds just can't get down with today's youth. Us 39-year-olds are so much better at keeping it real.

personally, id take those W6v2's over the W7. the W7 is way too much "boom" for my liking.

I had a 12W6v2 in my car before and i really liked it (it was my friends). Now i reverted to my 10W6v2. I think you'd like a 12 or 13W6v2.

I'd try to hear all the different variations in your car before you settle apon something

If you like rap you should go with a 12 or 13. I have a 500/1 JL amp and I have 2 12w3v2s pushed by that. I just heard a 10w7 pushed by the 500/1 and it was wayyyy too low boomy bass for me! I am actually really happy I didnt go with the 10w7 its too much. Those w7s are competition subs, you know that right?
I will probably upgrade to a single 12w6 soon.

Dont do 8s or 10s if you listen to a lot of rap.

Thanks for the replies everyone,

stphy32: Yes i know they're competition subs but i just love how they look in the prowedge enclosure! I wonder if i just buy two 10" w6v2 and can get someone to build me a box like that. As for rap a 12w6v2 sounds fucking awesome try listening to Mariah- Like That (you'll be fucking amazed) but it was overpowering my system and made more rattles around my visor and garage opener area. When i had it i should have lowered the gains and see how that sounded. But my amp is under my passenger seat and i have to take the seat out everytime i want to tune it.

As for 10's i like it since i listen to various music such as electronica

For placement: What do you guys feel is the best place to install the sub? I like it as close as possible to the back seat (rear firing)
or should i place it in the side quarter panels near the trunk door?

im in the same boat right now. I listen to hiphop and Reggae and some R&B. I don't know if I should run with 2 eights or 2 tens.

You guys I listen to a TON of RnB. Infact its my favorite music, I bump that the most. I also listen to rap and progressive house/trance and I would say RnB sounds the best with my setup. Rap sounds good and so does the electronic music but RnB just hits so great. I have a JL 500/1 running 2 JL 12w3v2's in a ported box. (very large, lol)

I promise Napsoner if you like R&B this setup is great.
