THE BEST DAMM SUB PERIOD!!! Weaknesses:
NONE ALL THE EQUIP. THAT I LIST IS GOOD AND WILL SOUND GREAT, BUT FOR THE ABSOLUTE BEST LOOK AT WHAT I BROUGHT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO SPEND SOME MORE MONEY. Summary:
Let me give you and introduction I have been around the car audio business since the late 70's and I am considered an audiophile and and authority on "SOUNDQUALITY". I've used everthing from harmon kardon, alpine, kenwood, blaunpt, rockford fosgate, and concord back in the early 80's when sound qualiy was getting popular in the usa. Know to get down to business the question that everybody ask me is D.J. "WHAT IS THE BEST SOUND QUALITY EPUIP. FOR A VEHICLE COST NO OBJECT." Well listen up here's what I put in my Beemer I chose the alpine F#1status deck and processor for my source, I used Focal Utopia's 165w's for my kick's, I chose JLaudio 650cxi co-ax for my rear fill {which is opt.}, I ran Zapco comp. amps all bi-amped and last but not least for the subs I ran two JLaudio 12W7 supersubs ran in series to show the Zapco 9.0 4 ohm amp a 6ohm load which increases the damping factor and overall sound quality and alows the amp to run cooler which wasn't a problem any way I just like to do everything to the best of my ability. I upgraded my electrical system stating with my alt. the mach. man in calif. built me one that cranks out 275 amps cold, next I brought two efx 1700 dry cell batt. and alumapro 15 farred cap and ran 0 gauge power wire form efx also triple shielded twisted rca's. I built a custom 1" thick plexiglass 1.5 cu feet per sub. The whole idea is to get the most out of your equip. as possible while preserving the life of your equip. as long as possible because all the items I'm telling you about are not cheep, but what good equip. is cheep? nothing. I just finished breaking in my system which is usually about 15 to 25 hours depending. First of all the F1 status will compete with home equip. like lexicom, krell, mark levinson, the signal is so clean and clear which is where any great system starts just ask my friend Gary Biggs up in Tulsa,Ok he a good sound Qualiy guy also we're always taking it to a higher level. Now, for the good part "is the 12w7 by JLaudio as good as the hype that JL pumped into it, answer you better believe it. Let me tell you in all my years of car audio and I'm 38 yrs. old. I have never in my life heard a subwoofer sound anywhere close to the JL 12w7, now don't get me wrong theres a lot of good really good subs out there like IDmax 12v3, Focal 33wx, eclipse tit. 12 admire 12, and alpine stillwater,jbl. etc. But nothing I mean nothing can touch JLaudio when it comes to SOUND QUALITY JL is the king!!! Now they have to be installed and tuned right are they won't sound like JL meant for them to sound. so you have heard it from "D.J. SUGARFREE" the 12w7 is the best sub. on the planet for sound quality its the smoothest, cleanest, best looking sub. out there. And the best thing is while not really being a spl. sub it will push some db I know several people who are hitting 150's, 160's and crystal clear, so take my advice if you want the best system on the planet go buy JLaudio w7 series woofers they make they from 8's all the way up to 13w7's. Remember the key is to do all the little things to get great sound you can buy a w7 for anywhere from $550 to $749 each so shop around I brought mime in Arlington Tx. at auto sound off cooper st. these guys are the best at SQ just come to the "WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS" in Kansas City Mo. on the 22 of Nov. and you will see and hear what I'm talking about they have the same set up that I have except its a litte more defined for compotetion its a green firebird watch out for it, it got the "Dream System" in it same as mine, I hope I knowledge will help you make a decision and remember install is by for the most important thing next to good equipment, so if you want the best sound syster money car buy this is it hands down. so long "GREAT SOUND AND SPL ALL IN ONE SUBWOOFER" try it you'll like it!!!
