I would definately take the w 7 over the H-2. The w7 can be put in any type box imagined. the way it was built was for either a .5 cupic foot box or a 5 cupic foot box. it will sound great in any aplication and give you some serious thump. The only problem is that it has dual 6 ohm voice coils which makes it hard sometimes to put 2 or even one on a regular amp but if your spending the money on a w7 it would be smart to by a JL amp especially a 1000/1 for a 13" you could even put two on that sub. Hope that helps...
