You are underpowering the sub by like 400 rms. I think, they only come in dvc 4ohm and that means you can wire it down to 2 ohm, so you might have hurt the sub by underpowering it. My friend has one and his still sound very good, no problems.

yeah i agree i have 2 12" type Xs with 2000watts rms on them and they sound amazing even in a ported box. When u get everything right it will explode in an expedition...i have a mountianeer and there very load and accurate.

no i only had the gain turned down because i heard that you have to break them in but the were poping like a voice coil was baad. they were wired at a 2 ohm load and they hit real good was very impressed but when i went to put neon in the box i heard the speaker popping

You might have shorted something when you hooked up the neon, maybe you put the ground wire wrong or something.

if you like the w7 you should go w/ the w6v2 if it's in your price range.

i dont think the w6 will hold the power. i have a kicker 1200.1 and i want to use it to its best ability. i couls go with punch power t2or3 but really dont like punch anymore
