Default Whitch sub would you buy?

I have 4 10's at a 8ohm (250x2 rf amp)load right now they are rockford fosgate subs and i need to replace them. I was thinking either JL W0 or W3.
Also the local shop told me for about the same price i could do 1 w7 and it would beat both. What do you think i should do

If its in a vette, the W7 will beat them. The others are not as good, will take up to much room and won't sound as good.

I would go W7, but they need lots of juice to get'em moving.

I ran a 13W7 for about 2 weeks, I ended up removing it because of the weight. But, it sure did hit well with my Soundstream 1000SX amp !!

How heavy is the W7???
I am getting the Eclise Aluminum 15" sub. Someone told me that it's weight 55 lbs but it does look that bid in the magnet and it is aluminum coil !!!
If it is 55lbs, I would not buy it !!! Still waiting for the buyer to answer my question!!!
I have use MTX 8000 series and it was not heavy, just about 25 lbs.
How heavy is the Kicker Solobaric? I may get that one if the Eclipse is too heavy.
:cheers:
