Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Sask. Canada Post Number: 51 Registered: Jun-05 | Johnothan, you seem to be very knoledgable after reading some of your posts so im going to throw something at you... 10W7 in a HO110R-W7 (JL Fancy Ported Box) or 10W7 in a CLS110RG-W7 (JL Sealed Box) I hope to be running one of the two on a 500/1 with a stigner 4 AWG wiring kit with 1.2 farad cap (SWCKH41) very soon. What do you recommend? Oh, and what do you think of my system? I dont know much about head units but can you make any sugestions? I am very open to anything that you will suggest. Thank you, Justin Baker |

Ported will give additional output, but with the W7 it doesn't work quite as well in a ported box as an Eclipse Titanium or ID Max would, from a SQ standpoint. It will get loud ported, it just has a peakier response. As far as head units, how much do you have to spend on it? |

Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 54 Registered: Jun-05 | Hey Johnothan, how do you like your head unit. It's hard to find a place on the internet that sells them for cheep. Do you know where I can buy it on the internet? I like the 8 volt Preouts One more Question... Would my future system beat this Kicker system... JL 500/1 JL 10W7 JL Pro Wedge Box VS. 1 Alpine 600.1 2 Kicker 12" CVR 1 Kicker Ported box(massive port) I know the JL system will win SQ but SPL? who would win in a DB drag? |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4490 Registered: Nov-04 | If you're more interested in SPL, then try JL W7 in a HO box. It'll give you almost 1.5x the output. The box has red colour inside, surrounding the sub. You can't miss it. I've listened to one in person, and it really sounds great. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4863 Registered: May-04 | Eclipse doesn't authorize internet sales. I haven't seen an online site with them anyway, not counting Ebay of course. As far as the system comparison, the 10W7 is still at a deficit in SPL. In an HO box it would be closer, but a 10" just isn't going to have the surface area to outdo 2 12" subs in most cases. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4499 Registered: Nov-04 | Yup, but 10" in a HO box sure sounds nice. I could get used to it. Now that I've experienced the power of MT, I crave for lower powered subs like 10" W7 or IDMax 12". Somehow it sure feels better on the ears for everyday driving. |

Bronze Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 85 Registered: Sep-05 | as a note to that jl audio has no online authorized internet dealers either.. so ive been told.. and their website says anything sold over the internet has no warranty |

Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 55 Registered: Jun-05 | so if you were in my shoes, you would go with what box? Why? and im leanning towards the sealed because the H.O. would be a tight fit (mabe diagonal) in the trunk of my integra 2000. |

Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 56 Registered: Jun-05 | I enjoy barganing with people on ebay and I gave an offer to this guy... I asked for: JL 10W7 JL 500/1 JL H.O. box or Sealed ProWedge He replied: Without the box the two shipped would be $729, but I can see on Monday what I can do with the box. We really appreciate your business, Shipping to me is pretty damb expencive and it's hard to find a Canadian Dealer, What do you think of my Deal? |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4542 Registered: Nov-04 | If you can fit HO box, do it. It's worth it. In general, some people that put down W7, really haven't heard one in HO box. It may be similar to a vented box, but some ways, it's unique. If you have great ears, do a test. One in a conventional vented box, and one in HO box. I find HO is better. If you're curious as to why I'm for HO box, it's cause I had a little challenge with a JL dealer. My MT vs their best JL sub. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4543 Registered: Nov-04 | Although, nobody was a clear winner, I got to witness what that W7 can do in a HO box. |

Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 58 Registered: Jun-05 | Will this do the job for my system? stigner 4 AWG wiring kit with 1.2 farad cap (SWCKH41) And what dose a cap really do? By the way I already bought it. I did it because it was my last day a Best Buy, I get cost plus ten percent (150 installed) |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 60 Registered: Jun-05 | Ok, I think im going to do this... Get the 10W7 and the 500/1 for 729$ (includes shipping to canada) and buy the H.O. box from a friend that works at a local shop... would you do it? |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4568 Registered: Nov-04 | Is that $729 US or Canadian? Anytime you can buy a box locally, do it. Much cheaper cause of the shipping charge. This only applies to sub boxes. Everything else, Canadian shops tend to slap on 300% markup. I guess they're trying to retire early. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bakerj72Regina, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 61 Registered: Jun-05 | 729 USD so like 860 CAD |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 4569 Registered: Nov-04 | That is not a bad deal, not a great one either. Don't forget, there's duty and taxes on top of that. If you were to buy 10W7 in a HO box in Canada, it would cost you $1000 + 15% tax = $1150. So it's like you're getting the amp almost free. |
