I know some ppl have a JL 13w7 in their car here... How does it fit? Does it only fit facing upwards or what? I just wanna know the orientation options for it and what sounds the best in our cars.

also: It is safe to assume that one 13w7 will massively outperform 2 12w3v2's, correct?

you can invert it. i have seen installs with that sub inverted.

with the right amp and install, it could very possibly spank teh 2 12w3v2's

I mean, I am getting pretty ruthless output f/ the 12w3v2's, but I have soooo much more room to play w/ now that I have a 1500bd (damn you Alex, lol, now I want louder again!)

I have the gain approximately 10% up right now, maybe less

I know there are some people here w/ 13w7's... I just want to know how you have yours placed in the trunk.

it also depends on whether youre going sealed or ported

i have it facing the rear of the car in a sealed box

Cool, so it fits straight upright. That's what I mainly wanted to know.

btw, how does it sound, slick?

Thanks, man.

EDIT: also, ported would be ideal for me, but I don't know if that's possible to fit in our trunks

go ported..

Anyone here have one in a ported box in their car?

 
Rep Power: 0

i know that ive had a ported box in my car WAY bigger than a 13w7 ported box, so anything is possible.

 
Rep Power: 337

ya..i also had a huge ported box in my car.

thats gotta be my favorite w7 install

^^ now that is pimp. Have you heard that one personally? If so, how does it sound?

 
Rep Power: 336

nope, thats a buddy form florida. he doesnt have the car anymore. I never got to hear it.

but it would work well in our cars, upfiring isnt too bad. just think of how that would look wiht a 13w7. like this huge tower in teh center of rou trunk floor just popping out

hehe, yes indeed. I mainly want to get something that I will finally be completely satisfied w/ the output so that I'll quit buying more, different, newer stuff all the time.

yea, im looking at getting one also in the near future if money is good to me

i got mine in a sealed box, i got a picture if u want me to post of it in my trunk in the box but im at work now. it sounds pretty good. i need to fat mat my trunk but i dunno if imma do that or not. its plenty loud for the ladies in the car, but to me its not loud enough. i think 2 would sound better tho. 1 sounds pretty decent tho. mines just facing straight towards the back of the car. nothing special really.

im thinking of selling my sub and amp soon but im not sure and just using the money for some suspension instead cuz i rarely use it. sometimes i just take it out of the trunk and put it in my house cuz its so heavy and i never bump it.

Man, I just can't help but think a subwoofer that costs over $500 itself would annihilate.... what kind of amp you got on it?

 
Rep Power: 313

lol, i dont kno about annihilate, lmao. jl ...

 
Rep Power: 336

must have a jl 250/1 on it

 
Rep Power: 313

lol, no 1000.1

 
Rep Power: 336

still, its gotta be install, ive seen a 13w7 with 2000 rms hit 149 on a meter 7 db down in a huge explorer.

so yours should be capable of similar outputs, if the installs were more similar

Do you still have it installed? Was it the box that JL made?

That looks nice. I have the sealed enclosure. How tall is yours? Do you have problems getting to your spare tire?
