I have an 06 chrysler 300. I want to upgrade my bass, i listen to a lot of rap, would an 8w7 and a 500/1 jl amp be enough? Basically I dont want to go overkill by getting the 10w7. What do you guys think? Thanks.

w7's are a waste of money....get 1 or 2 12w3's if you want JL...they are a more economical solution and 2 of them should be louder than a 10w7....also, if you're getting the 500/1, 2 12w3's would be perfect for that amp....on a side note:i really dont think 1 8 or 1 10 is overkill buddy, even if you are talking about the "infamous w7" [laughs at the sarcasm]

You would probably notice a bit more bass, but it probably won't hit the lows quite good enough in the rap music. I suggest a 12", if not, at least a 10" to get the rumble that rap music has.

btw, Nice Car :-)

i would personally recommend 2 12w3v2's...i have two of those subs and i've been louder than quite a few people with 12w7's...and i bet i paid a lot less for 2 12w3v2's than most people spent on their w7's

nope...if u want to go JL get 2 13W1V2's in a ported box with a 500/1. the subs cost 140 a piece. i have that set up in a 97 Eclipse GSX and i hit 143.7db's on my buddys meter.

It looks like you guys dont really like the w7s, so would the 10w7 in a ported box with a 500/1 amp not do the trick?

well i worek for a shop and we hate the W7's. Biggest waste of money. The W6 will be a better investment and still get good performance. Too much is needed to make sure the W7 sounds good and even then the W7 has a sound that one hates or loves. I would wait for the W3v3 to get into the store and listen to them. very nice, if you can't wait til then get the w3v2 and you'll be good. Get it in a good vented box(not a port box that uses the tube, make sure its a vented one).

if you really like rap and deep bass you should consider getting 1 13w6v2 w/ a jl 500/1 it will have good SQ and have the loudness and deepness for rap.
