I understand I'll try to get some pictures up asap. But the wiring kit was pretty entry level its a Belva BAK42 4 gauge wiring kit. The amp is a Hifonics ZRX1200.2. The HU is a Sony MEX-GS610BT. The amp is grounded through the bolt of one of the rear seats and is in contact with some like 1/8" steel. I grinded off the paint on the steel and the bottom of the bolt head that touches the ground connector. I could get a picture of that if it would be helpful. I got the sub used so I really don't know much about the enclosure and agree that could be an issue. I was told it was a custom build and it looks that way to me but since I couldn't really find any specs for enclosure size for the sub I didn't have any idea what dimensions it should be. I'll try to get some pictures up soon and let me know if theres anything in particular other than the box that it would be helpful to see. I left some links below of all the equipment in the system other than the sub.

And wouldn't 2 12s get me more cone area than 1 15? I'm not just changing 1 15 for a different 15 I'd be getting two different 12s. I feel like all things being equal 2 12s is better than one 15

So what will net me something??

Yes I my priority is for something louder but I would also like something cleaner if possible. It seems like JL does a good job balancing the two in their subs. I feel like these JLs would be good for the amp that I have bc their top rms is around 600 but can be played on lower power. I feel like my one eclipse is being underpowered. Also it starts to smell a lot after playing loud for only a little while which concerns me and is another reason I'm thinking of switching out to something more durable

I'm not really sure what you mean. So you're saying there is absolutely nothing I can do as far as a better sub? The eclipse is the top of the mark for my car? That seems sorta hard to believe

nah I know 2 tis would be better but they're also harder to find and take way too much power for my amp. I want to know if 2 w6s are better than just one eclipse 15

Ive been looking to upgrade my system for a while to something louder and cleaner and have been looking mainly at JLs. I recently found W6W12s on sale on sonicelectronix for around $400. From what I read these are the subs I'm looking for but I still have a few questions. Right now I'm running a 15" Eclipse titanium in a ported box on a Hifonics Zeus 1200 watt amplifier in a 2001 Expedition. Would 2 W6s be louder than this? I'm looking for something that will really hit hard, like a lot harder than the eclipse. Will the amp I have work for two of these subs? Also would I be better off going for 1 W7? Lastly, would it be necessary to make improvements to the wiring setup I have or the alternator or do any other sorta major additions to my system to accommodate these subs?
