goopster Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 so in the spring i am upgrading my system from 4 12inch kicker cvr's off of a zx1500.1, to 4 kicker cvx 12's off of 2 zx1500.1's..... now this is my question for the upgrade i plan to do this summer. what would get louder.....4 15 inch L7's walled lots of cubes lots of port off of 4 zx1500.1's..... or 6 12 inch cvx's walled off of 3 zx1500.1's again losts of space and port....or 8 12 inch cvx's walled off of 4 zx1500.1's tighter on space and port.....or 6 15 inch L7's off of 6 zx1500.1's walled tight space and port..... all of these are going to be walls as u can see...so it will be in an extended cab colorado so i am a little short of space....i'd sat rough estimate of 15-20 cubes absolute most...so which would be loudest or any other option or variations on these setups... and yes i would like to go kicker becasue i can get a extremely good deal on their product.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Given the space/small cabin you're working with the Best option in my mind is the 8 CVX12'S. In my exp SMALLER subs in bigger numbers do well/better in small cab's AND sound good-BIG subs in smaller numbers do OK or well but don't sound nearly as good in such a confined space, so as far as a daily setup I'd say go the 12's route and invest in an epicenter or epic 160 and they will perform/sound like 15's (I have an epic 160 and it is worth every penny). If you have 15-20 cubes, I'd run the 12's w/ 2-2.5 cubes each ported, and give em around 600rms each. Also DEFINATELY do an electrical upgrade like a mofo cuz thats a lotta juice you're talkin bout w/ that. I'm sure you realize but I dint hear any elect. mods in ur post so I'll just thro it out there. I have run kicker subs and still say [glow=red,2,300]for the $$[/glow] they are hard (not impossible) to beat. (Comp15's, comp vr 12's old version and new, solo's and heard cvx's in a friends ride) and they are solid performers at 75-80% rms power as a daily while still putting up decent numbers. I'd hate to roast 8 woofers...ouche$$$. ~2cents.

David Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 the L7 will take a shit load of power if they are in the right box. More power smaller box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmoke222000 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 i would go with 6 L7's but i'm not sure if you will have enough room to go ported. I am currently building a ported box for 6 L7 12's in an extended cal 02' silverado. i am using 3.25 cubic feet per sub + ports. Do you have an additional alternator or anything to give you enough amps to run all that stuff? 4 L7 15's ported would be louder for SPL than 6 sealed. my advice is to squeeze 4 ported with 6 ft per sub ports 3.5" x 16.25" x 13.75" Good luck squeezing all that in there!
