Does anyone have any w7's the new ones for sale or does anyone know where I could get some for a reasonable price

 

even if you do get them for a resonable price, expect to pay an assload for a good amp that will push them!

i hear ya!!

I have a 10w7 with a JL 500/1 amp and trust me, that amp ain't cheap...

 

There is a good reason why that amp aint cheap...its the best 500 watt amp out there right now! JL Audio =

 

would a directed 1100d push a w7? if so that amp isnt that expensive, as well as alot more that push that power, how much power does the 500/1 push?

 

Its rated at 500 watts rms.

JL rates their amps at 12.5 volts. Most running cars with a good electrical system (upgraded alternator, optima, etc...) will run over 13 volts and up to 14 volts. So at 12.5 Volts, the least power it will probably see, its still 500 watts, at 14 volts it probably more towards 600-700 watts of clean undistorted bass

 

so what about mtx amps on a jl w7 I have an mtx and i know there pretty powerful so do u think that the mtx 1500D would push the w7 .

 

Actually the regulation circuitry in the JL amps is designed to make the amp put out the same power from 11-14.5 volts and 1.5-4 ohms per channel. They may still underate them to assure quality, though.

 

I have a JL Audio 1000/1 for sale, and 2 12w6v2's, and a fiberglass box.

dude ALOT of amps will push 500 rms into a w7 at 12 volts at even 4ohms for a CHEAP PRICE much less than the sub!

my directed 1100d would rock it, and i only paid just over 200 us for it!

But I bet they dont push as clean and pure sounding as the JL does.....I really didn't want to spend the money for a JL 500/1 but now that I have it, it was all worth it...

 

no it was not 400 watts that was just the model number it was like 2000 watts it also big as **** it like 3 feet or 4 . Back in the day a friend of mine hit a world record with just one of the us amps 400 he hit some **** like 177 db like i said this was back in the day if you can get a us amps not us amp, us amps get one big power ill never sell mine.

 

how much for teh 1000/1 amp?

 

Not all amps of the same output are created equal. Amp selection is as important, if not more so, than sub selection.

please tell me you are not serious.....

JL Audio is not the end all be all of car audio folks...

 

try phoenix gold or even xtant. they have soem serious amps and subs. especially the pg ti elite sub.

 

Yes...I forgot a xtant!!! My guy has a xtant 1000 on 4 type r's in an astro van and its LOUD. I'd recommend xtant, good stuff!

 

To defend my position in saying not all amps are created equal, I'm not pullin' for JL amps- I'm just saying they are expensive for a reason. I run Precision Power (scattered distribution across the US, many haven't heard of them). They are spendy but well worth it. Again I state, not all amps are created equal, and amp selection can be more important than sub selection, especially for those desiring clean and accurate SQ.

Are you joking!?!?! PPI is one of the most recognized brands in car audio - their quality has dropped off lately, but regardless they are extremely well known...

you are entitled to your opinion, I just think that you are wrong...

 

I think they have improved since they were purchased by DEI, but they are no longer the benchmark they were in the old days. They did end up collecting a bit of a bad rap in the couple of years before the DEI deal.
