so i've pretty much got my entire system planned out and i'm stuck between two subs. i'm lookin at the alpine type-x 10 and the 10w7. so any input would be great on the two subs. i'm also planning on running an 800 watt mono amp on either sub.

w7,all the way i also used to have a type x, and 800 watts will make it sound like crap, the w7 is a better all around speaker.

I agree with everyone else here.

The W6v2 is more on par with the type x as far as loudness and power handling. The W6v2 is the best sounding of the subs though.

ive thrown a 1000rms at a type X and it handled it just fine and sound great in the right enclosure, same as a w7. IMO you cant go wrong with either one just the W7 looks better, lol

db drive is absolute garbage. Your friend doesnt know **** about car audio so i would advise ignoring everything he says on the subject.

Look at Arc Audio. Ive heard good things from people with them, Rollinstyle2004 on here has a full Arc set up

but I would go with the W7, have heard it's the best

Kind of a dumb comparison considering the price of those two....... they're both great subs but a type x will not get nearly as loud. Actual sq will be pretty similar, type-x's do sound very very good but a w7 is obviously going to be a much louder sub. Neither will dissapoint you but I've always personally thought JL products are way overpriced.
