I would recommend JL but if you run a W7 run a 1000/1 JL amp on it for best sound. I have a buddy who is hitting 123 decibels with one 13" W7 on a 1000/1 JL amp. Well worth the money if you ask me. But if you want something cheaper go with fosgate for the money they sound awesome.

Depends on your budget... Kicker solo's are good and Fosgates T1's are good too. JL's w3's are all around good competitors as well

I can burp louder than a 123.

It depends on what you want to do. Are you looking for good clean impact, sound quality, or pure balls to the walls loud?

Don't let anyone tell you one thing is better than the other. Any KNOWLEDGEABLE installer will tell you it's 5% equipment, 90% install, 5% beer during install.

Tell us a little bit more about what you're looking for, and we can help out a little bit more.

Ignore the people that say 'so and so will kill this' because that's like comparing apples and oranges.

W7 are a very good sub, but deff not the the absolute loudest. I only use JL subs because of their amazing sound quality, and they are damn loud too. I would also probably use Boston G5's. But nate is absolutely correct, any sub can sound great, its all about the install.
