If you're choosing between those 2 I'd get the L7.

Get a good set of after market speakers to replace the factory and amp them and you shouldnt have a problem with that. A good mid-range set will go a long way to improve the overall quality of the system.

I'd take the W6v2 over the L7. It's one of the best sounding subs and will get loud enough for what you want.

my friend told me the 500/1 goes perfect wit the w6's and the 1000/1 goes well wit the w7's so im probably looking around 1200 for 2 12's w6's with 1 1000/1 amp? man thats alot!

If you can get the W6v2 for a decent price then they are hard to beat as far as sound quality goes. Do a pair of 12W6v2 with a single 1000/1 amp. You should be able to get that for $1000.

There are way too many brands that I could name out at this point. My suggestion is to work on your front stage if you want sound quality. Bass is the most forgiving part of the system, so you could get away with something a bit cheaper if you needed to.

Now if you wanted to beat down the block and turn peanuts into peanut butter (thanks Vincent :roflmao: ) then we've got a whole other discussion to go to :thumb:

Do keep in mind that while inverted subwoofers look cool and save space, you'll hear mechanical noise. They could be quite distracting. Hook up the subwoofer to an amp and play music in your room, see if you could live with that click click click noise.
