Supposedly the Alpine Type-X is a good one to give the W7 a run. There are other cheaper solutions out there that will sound just as good. In a Lancer, a W7 is overkill. I worked with a guy that had one in the back of his Eclipse and blew out the rear windows, windshield, and sunroof seals in about a years time with it. Be prepared.

Interesting. Thanks guys. So if a W7 is overkill in a lancer. What would you guys reccomend? I'm also looking at getting a 12W6 or 2 as well.

Well...I just checked Ebay and there is multiple listings for Type X's by the pair for less then what one is supposed to retail for. By less I mean half of what it retails for.
Not sure if thats a good sign or not.

From what I've been told, a 12W7 will basically own a pair of most other subs. I don't know how true this is, but I think I may pay the price for admission and find out.

But keep the feedback coming guys, its definitely need as this will be my first high end car stereo install.

^ Yeah, I really wanted a pair as well... Until I heard one at Tweeters. My friend, sales guy there, say they pushed that thing so hard they broke the MDF panel they had that thing sitting in... Only using a 500.1 amp. But just think what that's going to do to your trunk/car with two in their properly powered? LOL

I have to disagree with "wasting your money with JL", but that's just my opinion.

I have to ask though...what type of 1800 watt amp are you running?
