David Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 box specs posted at the top seem a lil small to me, 5.6 cubes is not very much airspace for 2-15's, when I ran the l7's they seemed to like mid to large size box's or sealed, I had my L7 12's in 6.5 cubes after displacement, ported, tuned to 35 hz, and it Hammered ( would completly blur your vision) with 2kw.

Tub Asko Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 GMONK IS THE MAN. Got him to design my box . . . it looks teh sex! Quote Facebook Youtube Murdered '07 Silverado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galacticmonkey Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well theres just not enough room back there... Ive heard them in smaller enclosures and they work pretty well also. Optimally, they do great in about 10-11 cubes for the pair, but there is no way that will happen. It would be loud, but really only excep on alot of bassheavy music. From what Ive seeen with the L715s is that a decent sized box tuned a little higher lets them play everything. It also takes alot of the muddiness away and makes them alot more musical and tight sounding on all types of music, but still really get down around 40-55hz.

I had a wild idea about 6 but I don't think doubling up on my equipment is going to disappoint me Quote Facebook Youtube Murdered '07 Silverado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galacticmonkey Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah, just not enough room to even fit 6 on the face with the dimensions you gave me... Even then, not enough airspace. A super solid box with 4 15s is what you can fit properly in those dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 The Kicker L7s definitely prefer bigger boxes, but if the box is designed properly you can make up for a lot. I had one '06 Kicker l7 15 in a 6 cu ft (NET) box, tuned to 30 Hz with a little under 2kW rms and it was almost as loud as my 2 15" audiopipe setup. It's just not as clean sounding. I have high expectations for the 2k8 version, though...higher motor force, less heat.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 cichlidford, fire the port up. thank me later. If you fire that port back, it'll sound muddy because it is necessary to have enough space after the air leaves the port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfort Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah the box that g.monkey designed will have the port up subs up. I am aware that the box is undersized but realistically I don't have that much space to work with. I could do a wall but I have to think about it first. This box that I am building is going to be tuned at 38 hz. Just like g.monkey said, it should still pick up the lows but sound a lot better on that higher bass.
