Ronin Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hello,I have 2 L7's in a sealed box,the sound quality to me is great and it hits hard. I have been hearing that putting them in a ported box will lower the power handling,is this true? Also what are some of you guy's score on the TL with L7's and what was your setup?

treossi Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 if the box is right you might even be able to give them more power... ported > sealed... most of the time Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imfrom210texas Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hello,I have 2 L7's in a sealed box,the sound quality to me is great and it hits hard. I have been hearing that putting them in a ported box will lower the power handling,is this true? Also what are some of you guy's score on the TL with L7's and what was your setup? i think it lower the handling, but more than makes up for it with output, if designed correctly. If Morgan Freeman narrated a story on how great AIDS is, I would be captivated and tempted to contract it myself. His voice just fills my soul with warm fuzzies and puppy tears. He has NO idea and may have a touch of autism to be honest. Is this guy real or is he joking? i actually mistook him for a lesbian in that demo video Wanted to mess around with a box for the garage. Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz... These are the things that make me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 All info is from 2002 and are official Termlab numbers. Pontiac LeMans hatchback with stock electrical, 1 Kicker ZR360 and 2 of the original L7 10s dual 2 ohm. Kicker ZR360 ran at nominal 2 ohm. 1st LOL particle board box that was about 1.3 cubic feet per chamber. 133 DB (I could be wrong about the cubic feet, box was built way before the L7s even excisted.) 2nd MDF box 1.4 cubic feet per chamber. 136 DB 3rd ported MDF box around 2.63 cubes per woofer. 142 DB all day long and 144s if I needed too but was takeing a chance on blowing woofers. This ported box had sound quaility too. 4th was a local comp and they were useing an Audio Control meter. Same box as #3 except I had to remove one woofer so I could be in the single woofer class. The Kicker ZR360 was ran at nominal 1 ohm and I scored a 139 DB. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

ISO Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 For the last few years I have been running a Rockford Fosgate 1501BD (1600 watts nominal) to 2 2006 L7 10s sealed .7 cubic feet. I don't have any numbers but the woofers are still in perfect shape. I have 4 L7 10s and each set has 1 full year worth of use on them powered by the 1501BD.
