Guys,

I just bought 2 10w7s to replace my IDMAXs. If 2 are not loud enough, I'll just have to buy one more I'll let you guys know the difference when I install them.

 

Fuck yeah...when do they go in? What are you going to power them with?

 

They will prob be in about 2 weeks. Im powering them off of my US amps 2000x. About 700w a piece.

 

You probably could have gone with 2 12"s with that much power!!!

 

I know a guy who has a 12w7 and a 10w7. He did some testing and he likes the 10W7 better. I paid 700 shipped for both subs.

 

Fawk! That should be perfect. I bought one 12W7, its plenty but too boomy. 2 10W7's should sound oh so sweet!

 

What box size do you have the 12w7 in? I had my maxes in a big box and they sounded boomy? You might need to adjust your box.

 

your probably right, I just used some pre-fab box at Good Guys!, it wasn't very expensive. But I'm kinda picky with my sound, so when I say too boomy, I should say just a tad. If I had to guess I'd say the box is about .75 cubic feet. Anyway I look at it, this JL is still a damned good speaker, and its built like a tank!

 

GOD NO!!! Put that 12W7 in a 1.5-1.6 box!! Then you will be VERY happy.

 

I'll go and measure it in the morning, but it looks almost like a perfect cube with a slight angle on the fron t where the speaker is. If i were to guess it might be closer to 1 cubic feet, but nowhere close to 1.5 or 1.6. I'd like to make my own box using some stiffer material than mdf, but I got no time lately. But no matter what, the tens will sound wayyyy more acurate than a 12 its just physics. The larger area of the 12 will be slowere to move than a 10. I think.

 

I had my 10W7 in the slot ported box from JL and it was way too boomy. Sealed is the way to go!

 

If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get them for that price shipped? And why not just hijack your thread while I'm at it and ask where can I get the best price on a JL 500/1 shipped? I'm thinking about going with this setup if it doesn't come out too expensive.

 

I got them used off of a person on one of the car audio forums that i go to. The best prices online for JL equipment is purecaraudio.com check it out.

 

spiroh what audio forum are you on?

 

What are you gonna do with your ID's? Wanna sell them? If so how much?

 

I pretty much go to all of the audio forums, but I mostly hang at elitecaraudio.com. I also have a 12w7 on the way as well. Maybe do some testing with that as well. I will sell the IDs pretty cheap because they have scratches on the magnet, and some scuff marks. I will let you know for sure if you are interested. I will give a good price though.

 

Definitly interested!! I dont care how they look as long as they work. Will they be able to be wired up in a 2 Ohm config? My D300HC is a 2 ohm amp.

 

4 or 1ohm

 

Crap! That aint gonna work. Oh well.

Thanks anyway.

 

I wish i didnt click on this thread
