I was at Max this weekend and got talking to a mate. He was telling me his supplier of ICE can get the W7 subs at £300 including delivery (maybe even a bit cheaper). When i asked them why are they so cheap (usually retail around £700-£800)? Have they been nicked?

He replied they havent. They have so many in stock that to their friends, they are getting rid of them at cost price! They sell them on to companies such as ICE shops and then they add their profit on and it gets marked up to the stupid retail prices!

As you know the JL W7 is amazing! Not sure what kind of amp you will need to run it.

I wasng going to go for a big system in the scoob but now im thinking maybe.

Now if this pulls off and there are loads, will any of you lot be interested?

Suggest you post this on www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb

I would be extremely cautious of this, as the W7 is not really discounted anywhere...

From Geoff Dutch - BBG distribution...

we haven't had any go missing as far as i know.

With regards to companies selling them at that price - they can sell at whatever price they want, BBG has a price at which it sells to its dealers who do of course add their profit on to the price, how much they add is at their discretion but for reference BBG's current marketing prices for the W7 prices are as follows :

13W7 - £899
12W7 - £699
10w7 - £499
8W7 - £349 (just starting shipping)
So that's looking good then

Uprated springs, maybe. An easy and cost effective way of lowering your ride.

This is why they are so cheap:

The guy buys them as overstock form liquidating companies..
He gets all sorts in, but he pays less than £150 for them as this is how makes a profit..

Deffo not nicked or 2nd's but limited numbers...
When i spoke to my mate at the weekend, the guy had quite a lot in. All depends if someone has realised a bargain and gone and bought the whole lot.

Also trying to find out what other stuff he has

Well, you will want about 400 real watts to drive a 12W7...

See chart below from JLAudio.com

Update:

On Sunday the guy had 15 W7 subs - they have ALL gone

My mate told me about it on sunday and when he checked yesterday for me, they had ALL gone.

Guess i should have moved quicker.

Saying that, i could have bought all these myself, no one wanted them and then i would try to have 15 subs in the scoob! lol

Well apparently this guy gets loads of ICE as so many companies go under.

Next items, i will keep you posted and get my mate to reserve the things for us! lol

Sorry guys

Aren’t the w7's the ones that can take 2 kilowatts before it invalidates its warranty? Is so, where the hell ya gonna find an amp that puts out that kind power 1x 1000.1 dblock per voice coil? (they got 2 or 3 coils?) LOL Forget security, once this puppy is wound up, you wont have any windows
