Kicker L7
anybody got one of these in their car, or heard them before?
i heard they are loud as ****!
im thinking about buying one 12' soon, so im just looking for thoughts.

post pics if you have them

It is true they are loud not that deep but loud. I personally dont like them anymore b/c of the **** I went through with mine. It will knock hard in your ride though.

Kicker is meant for SPL. If you just want BASS to rattle your teeth out then this would be perfect. The bass will probably be somewhat distorted (compared to a SQ sub), but will hit harder.

If you like your MUSIC to have bass (classical or sometyhing where bass is not the "main" thinig) then you should look for a sub with good SQ ratings.

It does hit hard, I've installed L5's before, they are just a little too much for me, I like the conservative bass with good sound quality. Most of all, I wanna hear my music.

man u need to stick with that type r... the quality is so much nicer... l7 will be louder prob, but it doesnt sound as good

Well stated

i jsut want pure loudness

L7...1000W RMS amp...box built to spec, ported...high output alt...LOTSA dynamat = deafness in a month

JL 12W7 on a 100W RMS Loud and clear.

i had two L7's in my celi....i loved them! i had a box built for "show" and did 142.2 db at a meca event. I love mine, here are some pics....

Aye, JL would be better, but JL = $$$

Kicker is poor mans bass...

any thoughts on what would sound better?

if all you want is loudness... then get 2 l7's and a ported box... u wont be getting all the loudness you want out of 1 sub unless its JL and you spend a lot. Then again you ask which l7 sounds better, when everybody knows a type R sounds much clearer and has awesome bass... but you being new at audio, as i once was and still am, you need to just do what you want and hear the diff urself...

the 15' dosent hit the high notes to well...its jsut mostly pure low....i think i need a capacitor for it perhaps to get rid of some of that disortion

i think i will jsut go with one l7.

try that for a while.

guys think the kicker manufactures box would sound better then that aftermarket one?
