I dont think i could ever say that, as many systems as ive had...it can NEVER be loud enough


You got the space, why not go with 2? "GO BIG OR GO HOME"

I've got one 12" W3 going in to my truck. I don't like to make my ears bleed or anything, but I'm sure it'll be more than enough for me.

I had (don't laugh) an old Alpine amp, 300W 4 channel, bridged to 150WRMS pushing an old Planet Audio USA 12" sub in a little (probably 1.0-1.5 cb ft) in my extended cab and gain on the amp was 2/3 . . . it wasn't outstanding, you could hear it outside the truck when I drove by and it would knock the mud off real well. This doesn't really answer your question but if it's not going to cost you much or to many negatives I'd go for a 2nd sub.

I know a kid who has a JL 12" W3 in his extended cab ranger and it definetely has some bumb. Im looking at getting a W6, but i may change my mind before i order it.

Depends on what your definition of 'bump' is. It depends on the setup: box, amp, sub, sound deadening, etc, etc.
