Personal favorite would probably be a W7 though I am partial to the Kicker L7's considering I just picked up 3 of those

In terms of the best for SQ and SPL, the W7 is the one (what a surprise). Tough if you're looking for the best sub for the money get a kicker comp VR.

I really, Really like my friends CV strokers...but I couldn't justify paying $500 dollars for them, especially when they are old.

But the 12W7 is the best that I have EVER heard...and it is worth the money if you have it

w7 reigns supreme

the runner up *should* be the new BEtterAudio 12" which will be the dumax x-max king with a bit of luck when it is released in 6-8 weeks.

think brahma on steroids.

for the value, the BE will destroy the w7. otherwise, it should be jsut abotu as good as it gets minus w7, naturally.

you could also think of it as an RE xxx for less money

i think the preorder will be $300 per 12, $350 standard price.

What i like best about BEtteraudio is that the founders still have their day jobs.... its a company dedicated to making the best product possible and offering it at the msost affordable price possible! they arent in it to support themselves even!

but with 40 mm of one way linear Xmax, it shoudl blow even teh W7 away, by the numbers.....

but they liscenced XBL2 fomr adire, so like the XXX and brahma, it has XBL2. just more efficiency, and more excursion and at a lower cost than the brahma......

nope, not for bass/dollar, due to its inefficiency. the 6000 takes it for the best mtx woofer bang for the buck.

unless you ahve a boat load of power. still might not outhit the 6000's

So you think the 6000 12" subs can outperform the 8000s?
