January 26, 201114 yr They don't really compare. The W7 is an SQ oriented driver capable of high output, more simiar to an Xcon. The BL is an SPL driver that can sound decent on music. If getting loud is what you are looking for then get the BL, the cone area and power handling are going to make it much louder. It is all install dependant though, a W7 in a good install would be louder than a BL in a lousy install.Also, you should probably take a look at the noob posting guidelines considering you didn't state any goals, budget, or anything relevant to the question really; comparison threads like this are generally frowned upon due to the fact that most of them are apples to oranges types of comparisons. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but you aren't going to get much help without this information. Edited January 26, 201114 yr by ulrisa
