I currently own a 97' Chenrolet Tahoe 2 dr. I have a Pioneer In-Dash DVD head unit, MB Quart Reference Series 6.5 component set, MB Quart Premium 4" in rear and 1 10" JL Audio W7 in sealed enclosure. I was thinking about purchasing another subwoofer and was wondering if I should go with another W7 or change my type of subwoofer completely.

Looking at your system there my first thought is add an amp to the first W7 you've got.

Seriously, what do you want to accomplish?  No reason to mismatch your subs unless you're going for a different sound.  You should be able to get a good amount of output from that single driver.

keep the jl w7 and buy another 10" w7 and get a jl audio 1000/1..go to jl website and get the specs for that sub in a ported box...that set up will pound and hit real clean..its about $1000 for both the sub and amp if you know where to look and it will def. complete your system.

 How you use your equipment is at least as important as the brand. And with a W7 youve got the brand covered. So if it were me before I spent any money on more gear I would make sure I was getting all I could out of what I have. What size is the box the W7 is in ? What amp is driving it ? Where is it located ?
Been there, done that, just can't remember it.

No JL dealer on earth is going to sell you a 1000/1 AND a 10" W7 for $1000. Get real.

If you are involved in this industry, you have no business posting this kind of information. To me is sounds as though you are the Joe Schmo that does not know what he is talking about. $1000 for both....give me a break please. Nice way to purvey inaccurate information to people. In the future please keep comments like the one you made to yourself, especially if you are employed in this business. If you are, I'm sure that your employer would not take to kind to this kind of information being passed around.
Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Sorry as I forgot to include all information when I was in a rush. My W7 is currently powered by a 500/1. I use an active crossover made by Clif Designs and a 5 farad capacitor (for future upgrades). The W7 is in a sealed enclosure measuring 1.25 cu. ft and designed according to JL's specs. The only descrepency is that I used 1" MDF instead of 3/4" as recommended. Powered is supplied to the amp via a 1/0 Power cable and 4 ga ground cable. My head unit is a Pioneer AVH-P7700DVD. My goal is better sound quality if possible. Also my MB Quart Refernce 6.5 component set is powered by a Rockford Fosgate 551S amp.
