basscherokee Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 i just got 2 2004 kicker l7 12s for free (perfect condition because he underpowered them and they sat forever) and i was wondering if anyone has ever gotten good results with these. what tuning and box size did you use?

They are decent, but not all that loud compared to some of the other brands around now. But for mid level name brand subs, they are decent. Give them a ported box tuned to 34 hz, and about 800 RMS solid power, and atleast 15in^2 port area per cube, and that box will sound great. Probably around 3.5-4 cubes combines.

kam311 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Kicker isn't my favorite brand but l7's are decently solid subs and they can be loud. But I would give them more space than 3.5-4ft combined for sure. Look at their specs on the net, but from what I've seen they like bigger boxes than normal 12's. Quote so far...
