no for daily...no no no

yes for burps

Andy who ya sayin No for daily too?

If its me, I have a good bit of experience running L7s and in that time I've gotten to use most of the versions (no 08,09 exp) all 10 inch under many different power levels and with a variety of enclosures and I'm very comfortable with the power recomendations I offered.

I would prefer he stay with a 750 watt amp that has a sub-sonic filter on it, if hes ported.

I've never blown a set of L7s in my life but I had have had issues with the spider on them.

Edit: ever time I had any mechanical issues from the spider, it was always from when I used to run lower powered amps but never had a problem with them since I have been running them closer to their RMS.

Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

Just was curious if a kicker L7 can handle 2k watts.

If you tell us the correct sub size then maybe we'd have a better clue

um its a mtx amp not sure the name :/

Yes the model number would help too!

Why not just check to see exactly what amp it is to be sure?? But if it says 1k rms then you will be just fine. 15" L7s can be run up to around 1500w daily as long as you're avoiding clipping.

Funny how you can predict an L7 15 can handle 1500 watts.. I hope your not talking about a single L7 15' taking that many watts are you? IMO I'd like to see how long that L7 15' last in your hands..

If its a 15 and up I say yes. If its a 12, then no, especially for daily. For some reason the 15 can handle more,

Actually a Kicker L7 15 is really an 18' sub.. Kicker just didnt wanna tell ya...No seriously it is

in the right box it should hold 2k

No single L7 12' is gona handle 2k.. especially in a ported..

Its a 12 and its in the pre fab box.

Thats the same thing i have. ^^^^

Ok now since we know what kind of box and sub it is, dont feed the sub more than 750 rms.. Especially in ah ported I'd go ah lil bit below the specs...

Thank you for breaking down every post on the last 3 pages. ONLY the last comment was necessary. Keep it short and simple. Also, why is every word capitalized? Does your Shift key have Tourettes? Is Caps Lock having a seizure? I don't get it.

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

is an l5 15in an 18in sub if so why woulddnt the tell me. An what does that make a 18 inch solo x :bsflag:

a funkypup

15" square speaker has about 196sqin of cone area (using a 14" cone). and an 18" circle sub has 254.47sqin of cone area (straight from a thread on here).

15" kicker = 18" round? i think not

edit: stallon has to read up on some things first IMO
