  1. I am going to install a 12 W7 and right now I have an RD 1000/1. According to your video that is a great pairing. But I do have a question; would you recommend the RD 1000/1 or will the HD 750/1 be a better option?

  2. The Apple of head units?? Okay, hard pass. I also can’t therefore take the rest of the review seriously, and that is proven true by the recommended low-end rear speakers and ported w7.

  3. I’m about to install the JL Audio C7 3way active system in my 22 Duramax with a JL Audio VX800/8i amp. Dual 8W7’s ported enclosure tuned to 33HZ side port on drivers side, powered with a JL Audio 1200/1 HD. Running a Fix 82 off the stock head unit to get a clean signal. The mids and tweeters will be on the A-pillars facing towards opposite side front seat head rests. Rear doors they recommend leaving them empty because the C7 front stage is really all you need and rears can kind of mess with the sound. The key is fine tuning the DSP Amp. That also runs to the 1200/1HD and can fine tune so the W7’s hit with the C7’s all together with the time delays. Can’t wait to hear it. Not a lot of videos out there with that setup. I’ll post one when my install is complete!
