with the new jl products, the rms wattage on most or all of the subwoofers went up. i have an alpine pdx 1.1000 amp and i want to know if i should still go with my original choice, the 13w7. Or should i now go with the new 12w7?
im just wondering, if i get the new 13w7 that has a rms wattage of 1500, i wouldnt be getting the full potential of the sub and i want to know if it woul be smarter to use the full potential of the new 1000rms 12w7. |

Get the 13". 13" on 1000w will be louder than 12" on 1000w. Thats all there is to it.
You don't put to put the maximum recommend power on a sub. And haven't we had this discussion before?  |

Well the new 13.5" W7 is 1500 RMS, but as far as I know the sub hasn't been renovated or upgraded in anyway. That sub will sound great with that amp. |

Did they re-rate the 1000/1 to a 1500/1 too

There is nothing new about the W7 other than listed power ratings.
Its the exact same sub, JL just increased the #'s in the books. |
