Who says you need two? The JL W7 is an excellent sub and in the right enclosure will have good ouput, while maintaining great SQ.

Sell the W7 and buy another W6?? That's what you probobly should do if you just want to be louder.

cant do that due to the w7 gives lower bass notes but is not that loud thats why i aded the w6 but it cant handle alot of power,i have and old school orin amp i think its the 2150 extreme bridged

Man, mixing and matching sub sizes is a bad Idea, mixing and matching sub models and runnig them off the same amp is a worse Idea. I cant do anything but recomend either buying a second JL W7 and swallow the price or buy a second W6, go ported and sell the W7. If you port the box right you are going to get the lower notes anyways.

I agree with Raven. Go with one or the other.

sell both and buy two infinty kappa perfect subs. There the best souding subs for the price, and they don't do too bad in SPL either. Two of them will be awsome.
