I gotta agree, the w7 is just not as impressive as people say capability and hype wise. The only thing the w7 is good for is the "oooohh ahhhh" effect. The TDX is an excellent choice, as is the Image Dynamics IDMAX, Adire Audio Brahma, Resonant Engineering XXX/SX. Any of those would suit you perfectly, can be had with a warranty for the price of an online w7, and are a hell of a lot easier to power considering that every w7 I have seen was dual 1.5 ohm coils. It's hard trying to find an amp that will make enough power at 3 ohms. The only ones I know of are higher end (= lots of cash), JL's slash line, and the Phoenix Gold Xenon line. So, if you do go the route of the dub 7, good luck with all the money you are wasting.

PS. The recone price of a w7 is rougly 2/3 the retail driver costs, so if you ever blow a cone, be looking at about 600 bucks with shipping. Just thought I would let you know.
