Default JL Audio W7 subs

Does anyone on this forum have one(or more) of these subs in their vehicle? If so how satisfied are you with them?

If you want attention and extremly loud bass then go for it.

Would there be enough room to have a custom box made for the spare tire well to hold a single 12"?

if u get the w7s they will do good, but they are very expensive and tend not to meet the watt ratings when you really crank em up. i suppose ur putting them in a camaro, then u will have a lot of hatch pressure to keep them from scratching, in a camaro they should do great as long as u have a good amp and a really good box and since its hatch, ur prolly not gonna need to do ported,banpass, or fiberglass
