ok so i am in the process of planning out my new system. i currently have 2 12w1v2s in a sealed box powered by a diamond d6 1500.1 amp i was lookin at clif designs subs and they look nice. i was just wondering your opions in it. basically im lookin for something most people dont have (around me that is) i did the jl thing for a while (i had a 12w7 also) and its just getting old. whats your guys recomendations. its going into a camaro i got a trunk well box for 3 12"s my problem will be the mounting depth on subs. i plan on doing 3 nice 12's in that box and putting an insane sub in the back seat (basically a high watt massive 15" sub) do you guys recomend for me?

Clif Designs is made by the Anaba Group and is the same as products from their other brands: Visonik, MA Audio, Mobile Authority, Optiview and Ultralinear. JL Audio is a much higher class of products. ------------- Support the12volt.com

if you want quality and dont have a price limit, get focal amps or zapco. if you want quality for lower money get the eclipse amps.

That amp is sweet - and you are powering 2 12w1's with it!?
You could seriously do better if you invested in one awesome woofer instead of 3 mediocre ones. The w7 is amazing - why did you sell it?
With the design of a camaro, one woofer fired up towards the glass in the back can out preform a lot of other woofer configurations.
Do you really want 3 woofers AND a woofer sitting in your backseat?
What are you trying to accomplish?

The last competition I went to, there was a competitior in a camero running 3 8W0 subs and he hit 152dbs at the dash. pretty rediculous.

finest is right try Adire Audio or RE Audio, most people on the street probaly havent heard of them, and they are both good quality stuff, brahma may spark your intrest, or a xxx....bad idea with the backseat sub...just go with 2 really bad ass 12's or 15's instead of 3 ok ones...

well i mad my decision i was out today shopping lookin for something that peaked my intrest...saw alot of bad deals on jls (i get my stuff from the top retailer in the state of nj) but anyways i ended up at best buy buying the infinity reference sub, and i must say it is great... i love it. as for every one else opions, i know re and adrie are good quality subs just the re subs are out of the price i wanna spend and i really couldnt find adries (the way i go thouch systems ill shure ill have one of them sooner or later). i figure im gonna get 2 more of the infinitys and thne maybe 2 12"s or something in the back seat...im going with 3 little subs and then something else in the back seat for an extra wow factor.
i sold the w7 cuz i was in desperate need of money, and i really didnt like it all that much. the w7 was jsut a think that ppl can look and be like wow thats a w7 but if i do say so my 2 12" w1`s are alot louder then the 12w7 i had. and i must say when i added this infinty it is louder then the 2 12w1s and the 12w7 together. w7s are nice but not for me i guess. and dont even guess how much i got rid of it 4 you guys will want to come slap me

MTX is awesome. their newer amps arent all that reliable, but their subs are amazing. id take the 8500 series over a W7 anyday.
