Hey guys, I need some help here. I'm trying to trade my 13w7 w/ a little cosmetic damage on the dust cap to a local. He has six 12w6 (discontinued version not V2) and two 12W3 (new 2 ohm version). What should I try to get for my 13w7.

I am also giving him my custom-made 13w7 enclosure. The reason I'm parting with the 13.5" sub is because my audio guy told me it would not sound good in the G and the box would take away from the practicality of my trunk. Thanks in advance guys.

I want to ask him for the following:
two 12w3v3
two 12w6 subs w/ enclosure

does this sound reasonable?

 

Is it a coupe? if it is i wouldn't even bother with a 12 and i'd go straight for the 10's but if you are looking for a 12 i would say go with a FI Q or SSA Icon or maybe a stereo integrity Mag 12. in a 10" i would go for the SSA Icon or something from Diamond audio. You should just sell the sub outright, the JL's are all very good products but i have never been a big fan. The old 12w6's were great like 8 years ago, the new W3's are pretty decent, W7 is pretty loud and sounds pretty good but doesn't really excel at either imo but they hold value well. you can probably get like 400 for that sub in the box.

EDIT: The trade you listed above sounds pretty fair.

 

it's a sedan. i've been trying to sell the sub outright for the past 3 yrs, and everyone has been lowballing me because of the flaps on the dust cap. i know the flaps on the dust cap does not affect performance/sound but people try to use it to get the price lowered. thanks for the input manbeer.

 

if the audio guy told you that the 13w7 does not sound good in the coup,he's wrong I have a single 13w7 set up in my coup and it sound great for being one sub.took up almost all my trunk space plus I had to take out the spare tire..

 

Since you have the sedan, get a 12w6 and a 4080 enclosure.
