subwoofers that best W7 in spl??????

Image Dynamics IDMAX. This has effectively the same sound as the Image Dynamics IDQ, but with more power handling.

 
There's 2 Fi Q 18s (full upgrades) on a Crunch groundpounder 3k in a ported box at 32Hz for sale here for $1200... You should drive down and buy it from him //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
So many subs that outperform the w7... and I'm a JL fan. Too many factors to consider here though. You could have a 2krms sub in a crap box and low power amp... and a cheap sub in a well built box with low power will probably perform better. If you can build a good box and have good electrical... you could support a lot of systems that will outperform a w7 if not in SQ, at least in SPL.

 
Keep it simple here guys. You're making this more complicated than it has to be.

Assume optimal enclosure and around same power handling as the w7, simple.

We all know prefabs suuck. He didn't ask that.

 
I would go with a XCON, but that's because I want to try an XCON //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Its a little out of your price range but if your patient and keep checking the classifieds you can probably find one used.

Electrical upgrades will most likely be needed if you want to top a w7 in SPL...
Not this.

He asked what subs top it. List subs that top it. Don't everyone try to sound smarter than you are or belittle the guy. Give answers to the question.

FI SP4, SSA XCon, RF Power HX2, IDMAx, RE XXX, Tantric HD.

These are not all by any means "SQL" woofers, just subs that can get loud but if done properly can sound quite good doing so.

 
Hey OP, talk to me. You're not too far away from me, and I could hook you up with a custom box for whatever sub you decided to go with. As for that matter, I know a guy with two FI 18's close by for sale, for a good price.

18 CUbic feet max cargo space and i'm just talking about subs here nothing else
Thought I'd alert you to my last post.

 
I can totally build you a box, I live in Bay City. Pick your sub and have buck do the design. I'll jave pics of my buck box soon,its the vvx dual 8's toward the end of his posts. Dual kerfs look sweet.

 
For a forum full of "you can get soooo much better than JL for sooooo much cheaper", I don't see much ITT
