I have a friend with two of the JL Audio W7 12 on two 1000/1 and i think they sound great. Sure you can achieve more spl with an RE Audio XXX or MTX 9500 but not everyone wants the "most" decibles that they can acheive. I tell you a sub that sounds just as good as this if not better is the Boston Acoustics SPG555 13. I have a friend with two of these on one JL 1000/1 and let me tell you they SLAP! Not to mention they sound GREAT! This past year we both entered the audio competition where we live, he borrowed one of Kris 1000/1 to put on his other boston and i ran two MTX 9500 12 with two MTX81001 amps. i came in second with 155 decibles, my bud came in third with 152 decibles. honestly i thought that the Bostons had a cleaner hit then my 9500's. i would have loved top see what the w7's do but Kris had to work:( either way all of these subs are american made so i dont see why we all fight about which is better. They are engineered by America! they are all good in my eyes!

i got two of these in my tahoe and man do they hit hard. this sub is one of a kind and you wood be amazed to here one of these.. its a great buy

Awesome sub. Some of the cleanest deepest bass you will ever hear. Some say it's not worth the price but, it's hard to find any sub (for any price) that drops this low, gets this loud, and sounds this good doing it! Keep in mind though, it's a 3-ohm SVC sub. That means that if you get an amp that's 1000 watts RMS @2ohms, you're only sending the sub ~750 watts.

I had one in my mustang and it was great. It was one the best subs i have ever owned i would tell any one that dont care about the price to get on or to step up the the 13.5 so you can have dvc

this is a great sub. hits hard whth the jl 1000.1 amp. a little bit pricey good over all
