 My application would be for stereo set of home woofers so if anyone wants to chime in with an opinion on the JL Audio 13W7 and the JBL w15GTI mk2 I'm all ears. I really only believe in sealed alignments so that is what I would be using in either case. My emphasis is on SQ not ultimate SPL, but shaking the house is cool too. The allure of the JL is working in a smaller cabinet and the cone being more durable as I have a mobile child....
Thanks,

P.S. The differences between the mobile versions and the HT versions are as follows: "Fathom motor assys are 15 percent larger magnets than mobile versions and Gotham's'are 30 percent larger than their mobile counterpart." That came from JL, I'm not making it up. |
There certainly is no problem using the JLW713 in small sealed systems - the discussion here was merely in regards to wasted output potential due to using it in sealed systems. The JL is a good driver, but you can probably save a lot of money and get near equal performance by using other drivers, such as SoundSplinter(TC Sounds re-badges) or AudioPulse(TC Sounds drivers still available at Parts Express) as an example.
