a 12W7? In a C5? wow. That would be exciting.

I would think a 10W7 might be a better choice... listen to one... it will blow you AWAY.

No way the 12W7 will fit in a stealth box since it is too deep.
I will fit in my super hang-over box.
You can email mixman and he can send you some picture of his box that I built it for him

Yeah If I can fit a Brahma 15, which even thought it isn't quite as deep is huge, then I am sure Mike can fit the 12W7 in there. He did a great job of getting my Brahma 15 in there.

As to it being too much, not at all. I actually find I can turn the music down, yes I said down, more with the Brahma 15. It moves sufficient air at any volume so to get the same impact as I had with my e12a I find I can leave the volume a little lower.

I'm doubly blown away. I have two in my Vert! But seriuosly, just for giggles I disconnected one of the subs to hear what only one would sound like; just one 10W7 is sufficient for most needs (except for maybe top-down, freeway driving).

My single ported epicentered 10W7 tuned to 25 Hz has more than enough bass for even most bass heads.

The JBL sub has really great sound quality but does not play as loud as the JL.
I really love it but it is just a bit heavy as much as JL.
