update on the single jl w7 build

Recommended Posts

alrighty, got a little update for you guys on my single jl w7 10 build in my truck. im now using a jl 500/1 (jl recommended) and one jl w7 10. since i can not sell the second w7, i think im going to use it. i have found a second jl 500/1 for a hell of a deal so i think im going to pick it up and run both subs. i am building a box for 1 w7 10 monday so once i get it in, ill post more pics smile.png anyways heres how the system looks now.... i will be posting all my updates here.

I know you said that you sealed it good, but are you still using the entire inside room of that box? If so that might be a bad thing.

could maybe add some little peices of 2x4s inside to make there less space inside,, could slowly add more till it sounds the best, and it would probley lower tuning, i think

alright new box will be done tomorrow and i have decided on the amp situation as well. running 2 jl 500/1 (one amp per sub) and a 300/4 on some jl mids and highs. obviously, im not going for spl lol just want a nice clean sounding setup :)

The coil will not fail, the suspension will fail. Watch your excursion; recones from JL are VERY expensive.

i would say that since i got the sub in the new box, it just as loud as both were when they were in the shitty prefab box.. and its tuned at 34hz so its a low-end MONSTERRR ;)

i disagree on the SQ part, but they sound 10X better then say the L7 does.

and they do get low. also the recone process is kind. but costly.

I didn't own mine for very long, but that is because we came to different conclusions. Wasn't bad, just nowhere near my favorite sub.

I don't know about 10x, but I think what you are trying to say is that most people who install L7's suck at installing anything that sounds good. I have a 12" L7 and if you heard it you'd be shocked I think.
