If so just turn on another episode or unique whips or some MTV crap. JL = over rated and over priced.
The W7 is a good sounding woofer, very nice sound quality, and very over priced.

Response doesn't begin to suffer... that is a MYTH! A smaller woofer has to move further to produce the same level of sound and therefore must stop moving (which doesn't happen instantly) and then start moving at the different rate. Larger woofers have more mass, but larger motors to control the cone and VC with just as much speed and precision as the smaller woofer. The result is, only a poorly designed driver in a poorly designed box will sound like ****.

What are your goals? Getting loud as fvck or sounding good while being decently loud? Without knowing that, I can't recommend anything,
