DO NOT expect the W6 to outperform the L7 is SPL. In SQ yes.

the W6's arent made for that much power ur in W7 territory there.
an L7 will run fine off of 1000w rms.

I've seen them blow with less power than that. They are good speakers but cant handle power that well from what ive seen.

Speaking from personal experience with Kicker and JL, I will tell you that Kicker is FAR superior in both SPL and SQ. Others will argue til they are blue in teh face, but the results of competitions tell the true story.


As for the guy that blew an L7 with 500 RMS.....something HAD to be hooked up wrong because I beat teh living crap out of a 10 inch L5 with 450 RMS on a daily basis and I have no problems.

L5/L7 in the properly tuned enclosure can sound really good, but being far superior in sq to a W6 or W7? I guess sq is subjective...

I agree,had to be hooked up wrong,or just a bad speaker.I've seen L7s take tons of power and just keep coming back,might have actually been underpowering.

But to get an accurate comparsion you have to go W7 vs. L7,the w6 just cant compete with the L7 in terms of output.But SQ it'd be close,the w6 sounds awesome.

are we talking about the w6v2 here? If we are then it's no major different between the w6v2 and the w7. For the price the w7 cost i rather get a w6v2.
