RE Audio, Image Dynamics, Audio Pulse(TC Sounds), Fi, Adire, CDT and several others make a good SPL sub. Put good power to them of 500-750w RMS and you should have a pretty loud sub system. I know a few guys on here with FiQ12, RE Audio SE10's, Kicker L7's, TC, that I'm sure are pretty loud for being in stealth enclosures. Nice thing about the ones I mentioned and a few others I am sure I left out is that they also sound good in addition to being loud. If your after a really loud SPL system though a traditional enclosure will outperform a stealth box. However a stealth enclosure will hold it's own pretty well.

I've 2 IDMAX10D2 V.3s, one in a KeeAudio driver side box and the other in a subthump passenger side box. I'm powering them with a MATTS D1600.2 and they POUND!


Also;Check-out the Fi audio,Fi Q10 there worth a good look.

The CDT's hold up very well. They do gear more toward SQ than SPL but they definetly hold there own. I am refering to the HD-SQ model. The EF-100 is more like a W3 with a tighter sound and better contruction.

im getting a RE se 10" powered by a kicker zx750.1 putting about 800 watts rms to it. talked to RE and they said it can handle it. I've heard this sub gets very low and very loud while doing it. can't beat the price on it either off a certain auction site.

By no means are they a weak subwoofer. JL does make quality subwoofers, speakers, and amplifiers. The market has just expanded a bit more and for the same or in some cases alot less money you can get a sub that will outperform a W6 or W7. IE: JL Audio stealth enclosure is still $475.00 with a W3 in it and doesn't perform any better than a subthump box or one of my enclosures that cost about 1/3 of that price.
So they are a bit overpriced but they make a quality product and always have. There are just other options that are more reasonable that provide the same or in some cases better performance.
