Wondering something for anyone who knows JL Audio. I wanna be one of the loudest muthers in town. So wondering if I should go with 2 - 12 6v2 running with a 1000/1 or with 1 - 12 W7 running a 1000/1? I like the clean hits But I love the virbate. Need some help. I got 2 - 15" MTX Thunder 8500 right now.. but i want all JL audio!

i'd imagine the 2 12w6v2's would be louder. on the other hand, a pair of 13w7's owuld be louder than both setups.

A single W7 will outdo a single W6v2 in low end, but 2 W6v2s will better it in the SPL department and have the displacement to outdo a single W7 in low end. Both are excellent SQ drivers, I prefer the W6v2 for SQ purposes, though. I can't see how anyone short of competitors wouldn't be satisfied with 2 12W6v2s in the SQL department, a good install will easily put you in the 140s.

or 2 13s7's with a 1000/1 on each......that would be good and give you vibrations and stuff or something.............

well... a 13w1v2 and a e1400 in with ap orted box and lots of deadening in the trunk will do that too.

Yeah, I just got the almighty 8W3v2

Not the loudest, but it has good SQ and is one of the few subs that can fit in a regular cab Ranger. We'll see how it does.
Been considering the ZR components in the future as well, the more I hear them, the more I like them. Especially saying I'm limited to passive x-overs, which rules out quirky components that need active processing.

Post pictures of/during the install.

the actual outcome will depend on power, enclosure design, and install as well.. but if you want to go deaf, get two 13W7s and a 1000/1 for each sub.
make sure you have a charging system to handle the load.
