I now have a 12w6 and I actually am purposefully underdriving, because that thing would be enough for my entire living room, or even my entire house lol. I understand ppl want things for show and what not, but that's a LOT of show w/ very little function, because unless you get some INCREDIBLE front speakers amplified to the max, the drone of your subs is pretty much gonna drown out the entire car's sound stage. That's unless you lower the bass soo much to the point that, well, I'd have to ask why you went with 3 subs in the first place? (That's exactly why I ditched the 8w7s)

I can't speak for everyone, and I don't know everyone else's setup, but I haven't seen anyone else on the forum post that they have a w6 or a w7 in their FD. I've had both. I really think a lot of people hear about how great these subs are, and recommend and buy them, but just don't realize that it's pure overkill. My 12w6V2 is overkill and THEN some. I wouldn't recommend ppl going that route at all...it's like buying a fully functional $1900 CF spoiler when your car tops out at 70mph. You won't even have a chance to begin using the product's full capabilities and potential. My old 10" Alpine Type R hit sooo freakin hard because it was tuned right and powered enough, and the FD is so freakin small. Just ask Gene (RX7Rage). He has my sub and enclosure in his FD now too, and thought it was awesome - and that was untuned. When I saw him at JGTC, I tuned that bad boy for him, and it hits soo much harder and crisper now. So all I'm saying is, if I can save you from committing the mistake I made, don't think you need anything even NEAR the best in terms of subs to get good bass in an FD. I'd put a LOT more money into your speakers however, simply because the sound stage in the FD sux as it is. That's where the bulk of my money went to, and the sound in my car is PHENOMENAL (now that I just recently had it tuned right).

Just my $0.02
