Stroker or W7?

Well, if you are looking to shake stuff, a Stroker will do that, but in terms of sound quality, They sound half descent when in the proper enclosure, but not well enough for my personal liking. In a few months, Cerwin-Vega is introducing the Stroker Pro, IMO, alot better sub. As we have had the privilage to aquire one at CES this year, before they are actually out on the market. Very impressive improvement, SQ is phenominally greater than the original Stroker. The drawback on that is the Stroker Pro has a retail sticker of $1700, I believe, or in the general area.

While the W7 is supposed to be equivalent with the original Stroker, I have heard only one setup to base my opinion on, though it was same vehicle same amplifier, so that stands for comparing power differences, acoustic property differences, etc. While I was not impressed with the W7 as all the hype that went with the sub, I found that the Stroker outperformed the W7, spl wise. SQ wise, there was no comparison, the W7 blew the Stroker out of the water.

So in the end, it's what you want and not others opinions. I hope I have given an informative opinion based on my personal accounts, while being a Cerwin-Vega dealer, I am giving an opinion based on a neutral point of view, as I don't prefer either sub over the other.

Alright, from a neutral point of vew..that was hilarious. The Stroker and W7 are two totally DIFFERENT subs. The Stroker is a low excursion SPL sub while the W7 is a high excursion SQ sub. IF the W7's SQ did not impress you, then perhaps you didnt have it in the proper enclosure?
