Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2614 Registered: Nov-05 | i borrowed some kids JL 12w7 in a high output box..... it is so sweet, and very accurate. i can feel the bass hit in my chest more so than my RE SE now my question is this..... will a sealed 13w7 sound better...more accurate?? and will it still get loud??? what should i get ? |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassASU Post Number: 1951 Registered: Jul-05 | 12w7 or 13w7 and an HO box. if you wanna do sealed 2 12w6s. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2615 Registered: Nov-05 | i can either get a 12w7 in a HO box.....or a 13w7 sealed.... which will hit harder... which will sound better.... |
|
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2393 Registered: Nov-04 | id go 12w7 sealed. not loosing much surface area, but still get the advantage of the vented enclosure |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2616 Registered: Nov-05 | that doesnt make sense... 13w7 sealed or 12w7 HO |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 246 Registered: Apr-07 | "id go 12w7 sealed. not loosing much surface area, but still get the advantage of the vented enclosure" How do you get the advantage of a vented enclosure with a sealed one? If you're happy with the 12w7 with HO get one for yourself. |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2769 Registered: Mar-06 | Personally, I would get the 13W7, and have a HO box made for it. I had (have for sale) a 12W6 and now I run a 13W6 and it is a noticably diffrence. The 13 hits harded and sounds just as tight as the 12. I am on the lookout for a W7 13 right now....Or another 13W6.. |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1506 Registered: Mar-06 | please correct me if im saying this correctly a 12w7 HO and a 13w7 sealed will hit equally hard... 13w7 sealed will sound cleaner |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1507 Registered: Mar-06 | fyi he means a actual JL Audio High output box....JL doesn't make 13w7 high output boxes i personally think he should get 2 13w6's but blaine never listens to me... btw, the w7 does sound so damn clean, i wish i could hear a dub6 to hear how much cleaner a subwoofer can actually sound |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 3353 Registered: Jan-06 | No the 12 in a ported box will be louder..Polo.. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2617 Registered: Nov-05 | but will the 13 sealed...be as sharp as the HO... and marc...u think i could get one made for the 13????? |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1508 Registered: Mar-06 | thanks polo! |

Silver Member Username: ImnothereimjustvisitingPost Number: 106 Registered: Aug-07 | 12 ported > 13 sealed |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassASU Post Number: 1952 Registered: Jul-05 | 12 HO |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2620 Registered: Nov-05 | in what ways.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2771 Registered: Mar-06 | Yes. A JL HO box can be made. If it was me, I would get the 13W7 sealed, then look into getting a HO box made for it later. The 13 has like 60% more output then the 12 |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2621 Registered: Nov-05 | the 12 sounds and looks so good... i just dont know... |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 3354 Registered: Jan-06 | Well the 13 will look and sound better, fool!  Polo.. |
|
Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2724 Registered: Dec-06 | Forget about JL and buy a Soundsplinter RL-S 15 for around the same price as those, and put it in a 5 cubic ft. sealed box FTW. SS >>>>>>>>> JL |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2622 Registered: Nov-05 | im buying a w7 tommorow.... either a 13w7 or a 12w7 in a highoutput... the 12in the HO that i am testing right now sounds so responsive.... will a 13 sealed be more responsive? and polo...a 13 sealed will not look at sexy as that HO box |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1680 Registered: Sep-06 | ok i had to chime in on this. go SEALED 100% if you look at the ROE great 12 challenge and you compare the results from sealed to ported with this driver, it is one of few that perform fairly similar when sealed or ported, but yet retains better SQ sealed. I love the sound of a good low 30's ported driver but the W7 is a SQl, (SQ leaning) driver designed mainly for sealed apps |
|
Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1681 Registered: Sep-06 | and one last hint of advice, review your options. a SS RL-S is similary priced, and a Fi Q especially with options will get louder and still sound damn good |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2623 Registered: Nov-05 | thanks trey...u think sealed is better than JL audios High output box....were not just talking about a regular ported box here... |

Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2624 Registered: Nov-05 | if i make a ported box to JL's specs...will it sound similar to a HO Jl box? |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2775 Registered: Mar-06 | no |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2625 Registered: Nov-05 | dam this is killing me |
|
Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1682 Registered: Sep-06 | probably be better that a HO box. save you money and there "HO box" is merely a ported box, ive even heard people building there own enclosures and getting better scores than with a HO box from JL. |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 2777 Registered: Mar-06 | Yes, Basicaly its a "ported box" http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_enclosures_pages.php?menu=2&page_id=19 Again, I would get the sealed 13, and research boxes for it. Who knows, you may even like it sealed. But the 13 will be better then the 12 From experiance, 1 12W6 ported is not enough. 1 13W6 ported is not enough. Next is a 13W7, or 2 13W6's |

|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6448 Registered: Nov-04 | JL 13W7 is a great sub. Don`t let anyone misguide you. Personally I would`ve bought 12W7 in a HO box. It`ll sound louder than 13W7 sealed. For everyday driving, 10W7 in a HO box with 500/1 is good enough. |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 1532 Registered: Mar-06 | damn lilrob click that link^^^^ the 13 moves 39% more air than the 12 |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 2638 Registered: Nov-05 | they told me i could buy the NEW 13w7..or the HO 12 that was on display i went with the 13... he took $500 off the price!! |
