My fingers and my legs are crossed. I went to the website and saw the specs on them. OMG! I just might have to retire my W6's. We'll see.

You paid 280 for 12w6's, ouch. I paid 200 for my 15w6s. I think I'll stick with my w6's in the max and put the w7s in my other car I plan to purchase.

Have you tried looking online for items? I have seen a lot of this stuff cheaper at different web sites. it should be a law against horrendous pricing.

I have looked a little bit online. I mostly like to see how things work in person though. I like to see the quality rather than believe some shït a company tells me. I'll keep lookin though!

That's what I do. I go to the store to listen to them, and then go online to order them.

Im not supposed to say anything but i have heard them. These subs will be released in August unless some crazy marketing **** happens. They are smooth and crisp and sound much better then my W6's. They were in a bigger box but had the same amp and they sounded nice. They will be pricey but im getting them for wayyyyy cheaper then retail. As a matter of fact, when they are publicly released, i may be selling them a bit cheaper on here then you will be able to find anywhere else. Group buy from Andrew91SE's hookup on W7's??!!?

While you guys are wasting your money, check out this speaker. You'll never find something of this quality at this price.

Sorry about that, I don't know why it didnt work. Here's the long way to it, goto http://ampmanaudio.com under their subwoofer or by brand. The name of the subwoofer is shiva, made by avatar audio (avataraudio.com). Its a very high quality subwoofer, I owned one before it was stolen, and am planning on getting more. Some people might not be able to live with the plain looks though, but thats one of the reasons the speaker is 115 a piece. From a subjective point of view this is better than infinity perfects and the jl. Don't take my word for it, search under caraudioforum.com.
