JL 12 W7's

[Blazin Low]

Did anybody see these things yet? They're SICK The rubber surround is HUGE, the basket is crazy, and the magnet is insane. We had 1 12" rocking the stereo store....

Wicked they are. You have to remove to surround to mount them, the screw holes are behind the surround to give you the most cone area.I'd love to hear them in person.

[SlimGu3]

Oh yes, those are absolutely awesome! Are they out? I cant get 'em. What do they cost retail right now??

[TooLowTacoma]

I thought my W6's were badd ass,then I thought my HE3's were bad,boy I feel stupid now......Wait,BlazinLow what is the spl(db) rating on them? If there under 90 there P.O.S

The spl number you are talking about is only the sensativity of a speaker measured when playing 1 watt of power at one meter distance. Some louder SPL speakers have a relatively low sensativity because of the high compliance needed in the suspension to produce higher throws and handle more power.

The sensativity is usually better used on mids and tweets but the manufacturers always put them on their subs.

You will however need the sensitivity to correctly design an enclosure for the subs and to model the response.

Hope this helps.
I studied subs in college my senior design project was to design and build one.

I still think MTX stole our ideas on there lastest subs. They are a spitting image of our prototype and I was in contact with some of there engineering staff.

Thanks bro,that helped alot!!!



Sorry to hear about MTX,I think they suck!Are you talking about the 1400 watt sub that came out?You know the ugly red one?

The nicest part is that the box doesnt have to be to big. The price will come down soon. The W7 is definatley original.

[DeKaL]

Those are crazy big.... i saw some JBL ones that are similar to thsoe too!!!! That is crazy bass..... And $950 amarican for one sub......Way out of my league, that would be like $1500 for one sub for me. If only i was rich!!!

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but ,i know this kid at one of the local stereo shops with an 89 jimmy he got a hold of 2 12's w7s and hooked them up in his truck and he kept sayin oh ill kill neone with my system , so one day i went up to the shop and had an amateur sound off with him and sorry to say guys but my 2 12" Eclipses beat his two J.L. Audio w7's because J.L has cleaner smoother sounding bass but eclipse is just raw power and if u think it was b/c he had a bad amp he didnt he had a Rockford Fosgate 800a2 amp to each sub if u have ne questions just post them and ill gladly reply dont hate b/c i beat your fav. subs u never heard

[Boink]

Dude of course they are. the Eclipse's are insane. Did you ever hear of the Eclipse 18" titanium series? just one of those subs ran a 170+ i think on DB's.

[Slow Ride]

are the one's that looked and performed exactly the same as my senoir design subs.

[Trick86]

yeah those eclipse titaniums pound i had 3 10's but i sold them to my friend, he put them in his Honda Crxhe blew out his window twicw no b/s!!! yeah but now i have the aluminums and they are the best subs ive ever had there 3 years old one of them has a minor dent and i still win amateur comps!! I love ECLIPSE its worth the cash!
