Have you spent time dampening your car??

[Crandall]

The W7 is a crazy sub. I have two friends with it in the high output box and it's crazy loud for a single 10.

[dg4rez]

Have you spent time dampening your car??

yeah, I had everything installed here in vegas at 702 Motoring.

They dampened the whole car really nice. Its to bad my camera doesn't have a good mic (its not a cam corder or anything special) cause it sounds insainely loud and very very clear (both the subs and the focals)

The sound mostly stays in the car, with all the sound dampening they did, you can hear it outside (it is a W7) but its nothing Ill get tickets over. And the W7 cranks up enough, to almost rip my mirror off, and my visors shake about half an inch on some songs, depending if I have my windows down or not.

dont like to brag, but I haven't been in a car that sounds better yet. I've been in cars that are louder, people with 3000+ watts or more of subs... but for sound quality and loudness, hands down, nothing better than the focals with a W7... would love to hear what a 13w7 would sound like with the focals...

i like videos. your bass is pretty out of control. now you need to slam that thing and put some nice wheels on there.

For right now, im going to sand down the new hub caps the previous owner bought for me.. and paint them black. Later on down the road ill get some coilovers, and some 18's probably (not for a long while tho)

That sub goes hard!!! What kind of amp are you running?

I know you've already dropped an insane amount of money into your system but to go with the Very high end flow you could look in to the HD750/1 eventually.

[IllusionX]

nice, i always wanted a pair of focals.

[The Spectacle]

How do you like the front stage in regards to tweeter placement?

[dg4rez]

How do you like the front stage in regards to tweeter placement?

great location, sound quality is perfect in that spot. and looks good, out 1-10 I give it a 12! great spot, beats the shit out of the people's that put it on doors (the only spot i've heard tweeters placed at in a yaris)

[goku87]

will that fit if you lay it on it's back? just curious.

I dunno / haven't tried, its better to have your sound bounce of stuff.

[whiteghetto]

I have a similar sized sub and face it hard to the drivers side. I can go take a pic if you want. It really did help with SQ

im running a 300/2 JL amp to them, they are rated peak 400watts per set, (200 each side)

RMS 200watts per set / 100watts per side.

and they are by far the loudest / clearest sound you will get out of a 6.5 speaker :w00t:

[pennyracer]

what did you pay for them if i may ask ?

[dg4rez]

what did you pay for them if i may ask ?

deck - 300
W7 - 550
focals - 440ish or something like that
JL 300/2 - 200ish
Alpine 800 - alot cause I bought with custom install (but around 400ish)

[pennyracer]

[pennyracer]

what is the material of that black piece of glossy layer on your sub? Acrylic?

There is always something better... I know of some 6.5's that can out-displace most 8" speakers (not 8" subs... but speakers).

Focal are generally pretty good speakers, I almost went with some focals back in 03... but decided against them due to the very bright tweeters they usually have.

[pennyracer]

i have to say the tweeter is a bit bright with my focals but the cross over has tree settings for that in my case with running the mesh covers it did help cut down on the brightness a bit but going with the 3 way set i say much better than a two way setup glad i went the route i did and doing the doors full tilt double layer raamatt and dynamat foam outer layer is awsome but im still not done more to come thats a promise

[dg4rez]

no idea, its a factory spec box, from JL themselfs.

with my job, im in an out of cars all day, a lot of them with hooked up systems. And I've parked hundreds of SEMA, and CES cars. like JL's, RF's etc cars/trucks. And my focals are by far the most i've heard scream. But you have to have a sub with them, they dont have much bass. they are all mids and highs. and yes, the tweeters are insainely loud.
