93cav- that amp should be putting out right around what JL considers "Optimum" for the W7 at 3 ohms. Do your headlights dim when the bass hits?

93cav you still havent told us how your gains are set? Are you trying to get it to be louder by just turning the gain up? Distortion and clipping?

your probley not getting alot of power to the sub. if the amp is 1500 at 1ohm its only 750 at 2 and even less at three. the w7's i have heard are loud and deep so im not sure what is going on

Have you upgraded any part(s) of your electrical system? Maybe the amp just isn't getting enough power. W7's should be LOUD.

Your amp may not be pushing enough power to it - you're probally only getting around 300-400 RMS watts, if that, to the sub @3 ohms

ok as far as electrical upgrades i did the big 3 but i have to re do it. i had to fix some things on the car i un-hooked it and put it back together. i dont know how many watts the amp is pusing to the sub. i  was messing with the settings today and i had it sounding pretty wright (i was playing late night tip) but as soon as i canged the cd the next cd sounded out of tune horrible and it was distored again. im thinking it has to do with the frequency.
