In my town my BL....SINGLE BL 15.... was HELLA louder than a kid I went to high school with who had two 12 inch L7's. My bass sounded far better than those L7's.

(1)Fi BTL 15

(1)AQ 2200d

4.33 Cubes~33hz

Big Three done

XS 1200 in the back

Look into DC Audio or even MMAts pro Audio.

The Mmats dreadnaut and Juggernauts are nasty woofers too that get loud pretty easy

lol kicker produces real subs.

in germany the l7 was awarded best product 2008.

i think now were just talking about personal preference.

Germany, they don't know Fi, AA, RE, AQ,DD, and all the other non-mainstream brands.

And it was awarded the best product...

That doesn't means ish, best product, maybe in price performance or looks, but if it was in pure performance, then the Soundstream XXX would win.(that's a known brand in Germany.)

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

actually in germany there is DD, MTX, RE, Soundstream and other good brands.

the solo x is also voted best product 2009 (its a hifi magazine, not sponsored by kicker).

Fi, AA, RE, DD is available but its very expensive! many people are running DDs and of course DD >>>>>>> kicker

I don't think (i'm almost 100% certain) that most magazines don't know DD or RE.

And i said you do have SoundStream...(and MTX is also mainstream and not the best company...)

its sad that here in germany re and DD is so expensive.

i really like their woofers but i cant afford it yet... a 15 re xxx costs almost 4 times more than a 15 l7.

audio system is also very popular here, but not in usa.

not in usa???

That's a pure myth perpetuated by noobs thinking that since they're underpowering they can turn the gains up and clipping the coils to death (clipping = power transferred to heat but not mechanical movement, which is needed to cool the coil)

IF UNDERPOWERING KILLED SUBS, ALL SUBS WOULD BLOW WHEN YOU TURN THE VOLUME DOWN

seriously though. quit saying any kicker is better then anything from Fi, AQ, DC, or PSI(recones)

fancy ribbed molded surrounds and fancy shapped cones don't mean they have a lick of quality in the actual build.

Clipping = death.

Its a lot easier to clip an "underpowered" setup I think. Either way not like it matters much.

For the record L5/L7's are not that great. Fun, but not that great.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
