Is the new w7 really worth the money?

 

anyone who says no has never heard one incar.

nothing sounds that good at that kind of volume

in my opinion no. they are good no doubt, but are not the end all be all of subs like some people hype them up to be. For the price you could get a pair of ID maxs, which would distroy the w7 in pure output, plus would sound just as good. Is the w7 a good sub... yes, a great sub... yes, but it would get nutted on by most setups that cost the same amount of $$.

 

When you start trying to increase SPL by increasing excursion IMO the speaker becomes sloppy. It can not respond fast enough to a given change. The only reason you can get away with it at all, is because the frequencies are so low.

I must admit, it is a nice piece of engineering.

i give it 5 beautiful stars

 

Try and listen to one in JL's new High Output box. It leaves a big footprint but it pounds.

 

its a great sub but fo rthe money there is so many other things to get, you coudl get the same impact with $300-400 in subs. no need to waste money.
