Good eye!

Fi audio bought out Ascendant this woofer is very comprable to the Fi Q or the Fi BL Not sure, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Apparently from the reviews I have read, everyone says that it gets lower and has better SQ than the Fi woofers.

Buildlog will follow in the upcoming weeks. Stay Tuned

SQL vs SPL? thats a weird comparison, i mean SQ vs SPL i know, but why would anyone choose to have only SPL if they can have SQL.

meaning if a sub can both sound better AND get louder than your L7...why would you prefer the L7 over it?

in this particular sub's case, it will really easily be louder than your L7 by a decent amount, it has 50 percent more swept volume than a L7 of hte same size. as far as SQ wise goes...well...its pretty easy to make a sub sound comparable orbetter than the L7

Nice sub, but I'll say it before someone else does..... you should have gotten a W7.

Never really been a fan of JL products. Plus the 12" W7 is double the price of this woofer and im pretty confident that this woofer will out perform the w7 in many ways

But thanks!

in my trunk of course! haha, j/k. I plan on putting a false floor, inverting the sub and putting my amps either under some plexi or make some removeable panels for them. Very similar to GQ 350z's setup.
