monsterenergy93 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 hey i happen to have received a 15" l7 as a gift recently i have an amp that will put out 1200 rms but have limited space, i have about 3.5 cubic feet available. sub asks for 3-6 cubic feet. would it be better to give it the smallest ported box possible or a reasonable sized sealed enclosure. which would be louder? 3 cubic foot sealed vs smallest ported possible thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Bass Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've heard the L7s like really big ported boxes, but that they get pretty loud in decent sized sealed enclosures. Quote N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam311 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 this looks ALOT like a post from yesterday,and the day before... im not a fan of sealed under most circumstances, but thats just my personal preference. why instead of making the "smallest" ported box possible, dont you make the biggest ported box possible??? lol Quote so far...

kam311 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 sell the l7 for some profit and get a nice 12"... best advice man, i think youd be happiest that way Quote so far...

DRauck Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 An L7 12 would probably get louder in the space you have available. Sell the 15 and buy a 12, then build a proper ported box for it and you'll be happy Quote 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen 12" Kicker SoloX Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate t20001bd Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Head Unit Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham0599 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 12" would be better and port it otherwise put the 15" in a sealed. It'll sound like crap in that small of a port Quote My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaudio Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 i did a 15 l7 in a 6 cube ported box on 1500 rms and it ran like a champ. with the limitation you have on volume id do a 3.5 cube sealed box. just my .02 though. the 15 l7 will be loud in a sealed box too.

kam311 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'd just bag the whole l7 idea all together lol Quote so far...
