The Solo-X 12 would be a downgrade from your two L7s, so I sure hope you go with the 18 :)

Really?

I would agree with this I think. In optimal situations, I think your L7's have the potential to be louder than a SoloX. You have to remember, loud or not, its still only a 12

Okay okay. lol Will a 18 sound okay with Rock still?

It should. I would not recommend a huge box if you like listen to a lot of rock and don't like having to turn it down. Mine was in 7 cu.ft at 35hz or so and I had to turn the bass down on rock songs to enjoy them because it was so fricken loud. But I also didn't have the mids and highs to compete with it at the time

Edit: Big boxes will be loud and boomy. Smaller boxes will be not as loud, but sound very good if built properly. I think the 18 in a sound quality oriented box would be the sweet spot you're looking for

Yes, because as I have already mentioned, the X 12 has a small ass motor structure compared to it's bigger brother, the X 18.

And yes, in a properly built box, the 18 will play rock just fine.

Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks :)

Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

So a smaller box tuned in the 32-35 range?

So smaller or what would you recommend?

Thanks for all the input so far guys!
