Eclipse subs tend be more of a sound quality sub. The w7 is just a SPL sub. That eclipse sub was built to compete with the w7 in volume from what I hear, it does not. However the sound quality is much better.

Baised on your listening habits and the amp you have. Go with the w7, the amp you have or are getting wont push the eclipse. You need at least 1000 watts for one those elcipse.

Now...my suggestion.
I have the SW7304DVP series woofers. They pushed a 137.9db on a turn-lab mic with just 200 watts to a sub. They are exceptionally fast in the seal box I have. Also they cost significatly lest then the w7 or titantum cone(Eclipse SW9102).

Those are still my first opition, but if i am just checking around for different choices. Right now though I am at about 85% sure I am gonna get 2 JL10W6v2s.
Well here are the setups I am looking at. Give me your opinions of which would sound the best. I picked a Rockford Fosgate Power 750s because I still have it left over from my other system from my other car and I only used it for 1 month.
Setup 1: 2 JL10W6v2s, 1 Rockford Fosgate Power 750s
Setup 2: 1 JL10W7, 1 Rockford Fosgate Power 750s
Setup 3: 1 Eclipse SW9102, 1 Rockford Fosgate 750s
Setup 4: 2 JL10W7, 2 Rockford Fosgate Power 750s
Setup 5: 2 Eclipse SW9102, 2 Rockford Fosgate Power 750s
I am not looking for the loudest. I am looking for which setup would sound the best installed in the Z. I am getting them so that I can enjoy the music more, not to show off.

RE XXX or Adire B12

That will sound the best ... for a tad cheaper and not much less bass at all, get the IDMAX

The W7 is the best sounding sub I have heard. I have one in my Z and it's more than adequate bass for my tastes, and it is very accurate. I do not listen to rap though, nor am I a bass-head. I like the bass to be obviously there but not overpowering, nor do I want other people to hear it. I only play it loud on the freeway. Spraying out loud bass in the city is just begging to be robbed.

I'd go with setup 4 (if you seriously want to put in like 200 lbs of audio equipment and lose most of the trunk and have everyone for miles puking from bass overload) or setup 1 for a bit less output. Setup 2 is what I have but for the amp.
