Perhaps you should tell us your goals and listening preferences first.

Your subwoofer selections range from SPL monster, to Daily Driver, to Sound Quality. Which basically boils down to.. you just picked the most expensive woofer that particular company offers.

We'll also need to know your maximum airspace for an enclosure and any electrical upgrades you have done so that you can support adequate amplifiers.

I would say if money is no option DD

back on topic...

what makes you think you won't need any electrical? Judging by the phrasing in the original post I'd say you'll probably need at least a TAD bit to support monsters like DD95s, BTLs and Lvl5s

listening preferences, and most importantly available space will hold the most weight in planning this install.

If you are after subs like the BTL, you are going to need electrical upgrades to support the power to extract the most out of that level of driver. If money is no option, spend some on the electrical, some on the sound deadening.

You claim no issue with budget, but then offer no electrical support? Not going to get crap out of what you are looking at without it. First things first, what is your budget?

I listened to a single 13w7 on 2000w and I'll have to say, hats off to JL.

I didnt know a 13W7 could handle 2000w. I believe thats warranty void lol

indeed it can... i had a w7 i would plug it into the wall just to watch peoples face ....

and if price is not an issue then just buy 2 of every sub you think is nice and see what you like

but just by reading what you have said i see that price is INEED an issue

[djjdnap 78]

yea i dont have dd because of money duh?

cactus audio tried to quote me 800$ for 1 sub...lol

As my friend told me look at what alot of the top competitors use...

[tejcurrent 13]

Such totally different setups, but they all would need at least some electrical upgrades.

I would use the kicker 2500 in any one of those setups, just 2 of them with the BTLs- and if you can fit 15" L7s I'd go btl 15s.

Having used a 12 and 15" L7 I know they weren't too bad, but I'd take the BTL in a heart beat. The most I've heard on a W7 was a jl 1000.1 I think, and I've just never been impressed. Plus a BTL is almost 1/2 the price of a W7 iirc.

You're really going to want a beefy charging system to support 5000+rms though, maybe a MLA module, h/o alt or dual alt setup, and several batteries. If you don't want to do all that maybe one of the other setups will make more sense for you.

Just cause it's hooked to an amp rated at 2kW doesn't mean that the sub has ever seen that amount of power.

Lars, you should build your own box. It'll be a good learning experience and ultimately cheaper than buying off of ebay.
