this is what ive got at the mo, but im itching to get a W7

Im thinking about maybe getting a 12W7 and running it from a 1000/1, the only problem is finding somewhere to put the 100/1 as its alot bigger than the amps i have now with it being double the size!

So im thinking of moving the 300/2 to the EQ build in the passenger footwell and either relocating the EQ or maybe removing it from the system all together! and then trying to wedge the 1000/1 and the 12W7 into the boot!

the only other option i can think of is roof mounting the 1000/1 but i dont know how much stregthening the roof would need!

what do people think

also how much would i get for my install?

the sub is a 13W6v2, and i dont know how much i would sell it for as i would need a very large chunk of the money i would need to buy the new gear as i cant afford to pay hardly anything to get new stuff!

i doubt i would change it til a couple months time!

Could you not bolt the 1000/1 to the back of the seat? and then place the sub in the same sort of arrangement you have now? in the middle? maybe in fibre glass with it raised a little? kind of like a volcano. I dont know the dimensions of your subs etc, so just trying to help.

Mate someone would pay some serious moolah to get that system off you.
Arent you happy with the W6? Anyone that goes from 2 subs to one usually feels that way...

im happy with the W6, but ive always wanted a W7 TBH and i heard an 8W7 at japfest and even that was amazing


as for putting the 1000/1 on the back of the seat, it would be a seriously tight fit as i wanted to put the EQ where my screen is now but it wouldnt fit as it was to close to the sub!

punctures are easy, either RAC or tyre Weld, aint had a spare wheel for about 2 1/2 years now

i can still get to the top mounts easily enough as the install comes apart easily enough!

nah the W7 i want is a 12W7 im now running a 13.5W6v2, and the amp im using is a 500/1 and i would be running a 1000/1 which is like twice the size!

And ive recently discoverd that the JL amps cant be ran upside down de to heat issues!
