  I was wondering if anybody could tell me what is better for sq.  Everybody says the w7's are so good, how do they compare to hertz hi energy subs. Do they hit as hard as the w7?

  Hertz makes great speakers no doubt, the HX subs sound great however not an SQ sub at all, Hertz sells the high energy subs with a slightly different cone in their "SLP SHOW" line, now the Mille subs are awesome for sq and hit slightly tighter than a w7 but not as hard
  
  I personally own 2x 10w7 in my ultimate sq car and they are by far the best mix of make your ears bleed and hair stand on end with the tight punchy accurate and detailed combination. I love w7s in general
  
  The 8w7 is one of my go to subs for allot of systems too, I like to do an 8w7 on an hd900/5 with whatever components the customer likes and it never disappoints until they want more, then u add another 8w7 and 900/5 and go active 3 way haha

  Sorry for second post, but I had an after thought. If pure SQ is what your going for and still want It to hit but don't need it to be shaking ur brain all around. Then go with a 10 or 12 w6, their SQ is actually better than a W7 but doesn't have such a gigantic excursion. The w6 hits tight allot like a Mille but doesn't engulf you with perfectly reproduced bass through the whole sub bass spectrum at nearly any volume. For example a bass roll off (single baseline that starts at a higher frequency and gradually gets lower, or rolls off) sounds absolutely insane with a w7 , you really feel every note like your mixing it in a studio whereas a w6 is still gonna hit and be super clean and tight but won't give you that same sense of perfection
