Does anyone have any jl audio w7's in there Xb???? If so were they a _____ to fit in???

 

A biscuit? hahahaha
I dont know about boxes, but I've seen a few W7's in tC's
If you make a custom box they'll fit.

and please edit your post to have a 'proper' title.

 

Yes. I've got two. And they are nice and small but I've left out the gravy. Still hits very hard for just 500W.

 

yea i would run like 2 8's no bigger if you like the glass 2 8's in the right box would be awsome in the box

 

w7s are nice but with the box and speaker the weight is like 80 pounds.80 pounds is just way too much weight for me. If you get a w7 run the sub with a 1000/1 to power it properly. My friend has one it hits about the same as 2 12s

 

Me and my brother made a fiberglass box and put one 12w7 in it. It hit very hard but it was heavy as any thing. I just recomend changing the shocks because min had about 10,000 miles on the trd springs and stock shocks and they wore out very quickly.

 

How about a kicker L715. I think they are about 20 pounds. I never heard them but the square shape is suppose to be better because more surface area. the L7 is alot cheaper. Im think of running on L715 with a 1/1000 from JL just beacuse it will be lighter and I want some trunk space.

 

well im going to run 2 10" with the 1000/1 amp.... and about the spirngs i just put in some new eibach springs......

 

You must be new to audio. If you are going to get a W7, not all of them will accept 1000W out of the pot. The two 8W7s I've got peak out with the 500/1 amp. A 10" will run fine by itself on a 500/1 as well as the 12". You can power the 12" with a 1000/1, but you have to gain down the output quite a bit. The ultimate combination is the 13W7 with a 1000/1 amp with the gains adjusted properly. They will pound like you wouldn't believe.

Now to the squares. They produce much more pressure due to the piston area but since they are not round like traditional speakers they also distort a bit. Imagine if you will a square piece of paper. The corners of the paper will flex much easier than the center of the edges and in some cases the corners will be flexing so much that the edges will compensate for the needed flex. This produces turbulence in the audio reproduction. Now, even though the kicker squares produce a bit of distortion, it's nowhere near as bad as what you find in Audiobahn speakers or other cheap quality crappy subs. Kicker makes some good stuff... but for the audiophile, go with a round speaker before square.

I had two 8" L7s pound out 149.1 in a sealed box. I'm much happier with my two JL 8W7s in a ported box (146db) as the sound is so much cleaner.

 

The two 10s will sound very nice. If you go ported, try and do a tuning of 28Hz for the super low rumble. Then you should be able to set the infrasonic filter at 25Hz on the 1000/1. If this does not meet your needs, consider me shocked.

 

im thinking about building a custom box color matched and everything...

 

i got a 13w7 in my tC. custom box, and dam does this thing hit. already broke my rear view mirror once. the rod holding it to the window just broke in half.

 

How much air space does that thing need???

 

^^ i dont even remember off the top of my head. but you can look it up at www.jlaudio.com
