fritosaregood Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 If you can find some 05 or 06 (i cant remember which one exactly) L5s, the ones with the gray cones, I would get a pair of them. Those were my first set of subs after i go away from my walmart sony. I got them as refurbs for 75 each, ran tones of dirty power to them for over a year, let them sit for a while, threw them in my girls car, sold them to a guy that ran dirty power to the, but it was also only about 500 to the pair, then they were sold again. and they are still playing strong. I remember running 1100 watts of power when i thought the gain was a volume to one of the subs, bottomed it out pretty good a few times and it took it nicely, made it smell a few times, and before i sold the the part of the coils i could see were still new lookings. that has been the only kicker sub ive really liked. seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970
Melky Lebron Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Thats definitely true. I love kicker and Ive always had kicker for subs but its true what your saying. Theres lots of subs out there that perform better and you get what you pay for. 2004 Melky Toyota Scion xB Kenwood Touchscreen Headunit 4 15" Kicker CVR 4 6" Audiopipe 6 8" Audiopipe 6 Tweeters Audiopipe 1 Rockford Fosgate T2500.1 bd 1 Lanzar 3000 1 Audiopipe 1500 2 Optimum YellowTop Batteries The Big Three 19" rims and more.. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/119197-build-log-scion-xb-4-15-kicker/
LT.Smoke Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I didnt read what you have BUT NO GO ON L3s... You can get a SSD 15 for the same price... WOW NO KICKER Your going to buy shit... that people comment like this "These speakers pound!! I have 2 12s with a DX 1000.1 kicker amp with bass boost all the way up and gain a little over a half and they sound like there gonna blow my back windshield out." Listen here you fuckin retard.... There is nothing wrong with Kicker... Yes they are not the best quality but they are not that bad... Ask Alma Gates how much kicker sucks... Im so tired of people bashing shit they know NOTHING about I would suggest other woofers bro but if you like the kickers and want to try them then go for it...

Ram Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 If you want a great speaker that has excellent sound output, that has a smaller defect rate than a plethora of other sub companies, Kicker is a way to go.

We have a member here that was doing a 150 with 2 solo x KICKER 10's Yeah kickers are actually good. I have 4 15" CVR in my scion and it moves great, not mentioning that there in a sealed box. So If you want then go for it. If you dont like em, then sell em. Kickers are good enough for what you pay for. 2004 Melky Toyota Scion xB Kenwood Touchscreen Headunit 4 15" Kicker CVR 4 6" Audiopipe 6 8" Audiopipe 6 Tweeters Audiopipe 1 Rockford Fosgate T2500.1 bd 1 Lanzar 3000 1 Audiopipe 1500 2 Optimum YellowTop Batteries The Big Three 19" rims and more.. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/119197-build-log-scion-xb-4-15-kicker/

NVR ENUFF Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 this brings me to another question. on kickers website it shows the L7 15 using a port thats 3.5 x 16.25 for the larger ported box of 6 cubic feet. thats a surface area of 56.875 square inches. so am i corect in saying i can use two 6 inch aero ports? they have a port surface area of 28.26 each or 56.52 for the pair combined. the two aeros are .35 square inches less area than the recommended slot port so i figured it would be fine. just seems like two 6's is ALOT of port for a single sub. what do you guys think? just to see what kicker thinks i called there tech support and talked with them, they told me that 2 6" aeros would be perfect. they said they have tried 2 6" and 4 4" aeros and that the 4 4" was .75 db louder than the slot port and the 2 6" was 1.5 db louder. so 2 L7 15's in 13.25 cubic feet with 2 6" aeros per sub. ill let you guys know what happens as soon as i get it together
