Product Description

The W7 embodies JL Audios commitment to pushing the envelope of speaker technology, with six patented technologies and a completely unique set of component parts. Each W7 model has been meticulously engineered to reproduce sub-bass with extreme fidelity at any volume level, provided it is installed and tuned properly. At first glance, you may only see a rather massive woofer, but as you begin to analyze the technology and the performance envelope of a W7, you will realize that they are much more than just another big SPL speaker. For us, designing a pure SPL speaker, with no regard to sound quality, would have presented a far lesser challenge than the one we chose to undertake with the W7 project. The goal was to design subwoofer drivers that deliver immense output with an extremely high level of fidelity. It wouldnt be enough for the speaker to sound great or be loud, it had to do both. This goal required us to develop a deeper understanding of the inner behavior of speakers, new and proprietary modeling sys

Summary

I buy/sell/trade car audio stuff, and I came across one of these for a good price. It's really loud and takes a TON of RMS, but it doesn't live up to the hype. It's good, but not as good as you'd expect for the price you pay and for the amount of power...

Strength

LOUD, top of the line for SPL and RMS handling ability.

Weakness

WAY too expensive. The $/performance curve is VERY steep at the top.

Bottom Line

Too expensive, it's good, but not 3x as good as a $150 sub. Maybe 1.5x better.
