yeah, I had everything installed here in vegas at 702 Motoring.

They dampened the whole car really nice. Its to bad my camera doesn't have a good mic (its not a cam corder or anything special) cause it sounds insainely loud and very very clear (both the subs and the focals)

The sound mostly stays in the car, with all the sound dampening they did, you can hear it outside (it is a W7) but its nothing Ill get tickets over. And the W7 cranks up enough, to almost rip my mirror off, and my visors shake about half an inch on some songs, depending if I have my windows down or not.

dont like to brag, but I haven't been in a car that sounds better yet. I've been in cars that are louder, people with 3000+ watts or more of subs... but for sound quality and loudness, hands down, nothing better than the focals with a W7... would love to hear what a 13w7 would sound like with the focals...

The W7 is a crazy sub. I have two friends with it in the high output box and it's crazy loud for a single 10.

I know you've already dropped an insane amount of money into your system but to go with the Very high end flow you could look in to the HD750/1 eventually.

im running a 300/2 JL amp to them, they are rated peak 400watts per set, (200 each side)

RMS 200watts per set / 100watts per side.

and they are by far the loudest / clearest sound you will get out of a 6.5 speaker
