your running 1x10
you thinking of going with 2x12

yes, 2x12's will hit harder.

I have the w6 sub in my IS and love it. Very clean/clear sounding sub.
Honestly, as far as sound quality goes, your not going to hear a huge difference... go with more cone surface if you want harder hitting, louder/more bass. 2x12's will give you more then 1x10

one 10w7 should be more than enough!!!! I have a 12w3v3 'to be installed', ordered one of those boxes from ebay, only with one hole.

..from what i know. i have a jl setup.. and ive been using jl for a while..

jl audio's w6 i there LOUDEST sub, provides more bass.. w7 is there cleanest sounding sub.

i have had both a 12w6 and 12w7, and i was really satisfied with the 12w6 bass wise it hit 141db. if your looking for something really bassy go with with the 12w6v2 10w7 if u want something clean!

I guess its preference as far as what you like, hard thumping, alarm setting off, bumping or clean bass with somewhat hard thumping. Did you dynomat?

i had a 10w7 off a zapco reference 1000 and it was some of the loudest, cleanest bass i've ever had from a single woofer but its all relative. both will be great but more subs = more wiring, possibly more amps depending on your setup, etc. if you already have the 10w7 there might as well stay with it b/c it probably won't be that much of a difference, if any. you might be disappointed in the extra effort with minimal gain! 10w7 even by todays standards is one sick sub! i had mine 5 years ago! keep the w7

The additional cone area, along with the ability of the subs to play lower notes (the inherent property of a larger sub) will both be benefits. Simply adding another sub doesn't yield much if it's the same size because the increase in cone area is typically met with a halving of power if the amp cannot handle a lower load. By adding more cone size, it should give a noticeable difference, especially if they will be running on the same amount of power. Will it be mind blowing?? Probably not. I would try it out and see. Can always go back.
