Pro's And Con's Of The L7


audio??

Recommended Posts

Don't listen to all these people saying they blow their L7's left and right.... they obviously never took the time to learn how to set the gain right or run the right equipment (with the exception of serious competitiors)

I have a 15 (the 2006 style) in my car and it's not only the loudest sub in my town, it has the best SQ of any setup i've ever heard.

I'm using two flared percision ports, with 5.5 cubes, crx style box, and a hifonics 1206d amp.

It is an SQ setup (opted for more restricted, flared ports which puts me on the border line for vent mach, but hits really low and clear)

But my main point is that if you know what you are doing an L7 is a very loud and well built sub for the price ($240 shipped online). I have gotten first in many comps hitting about 143dB @ 32 hz!!!! (that is loud for 32 hz)

here's a video of mine the day I got it before it was broken in (not much roof flex thanks to 5 layers of dynamat extreme everywhere)

Here's your research:

L7's = Bad

Anything Fi = Good;

I honestly think that a 15 Q Could beat the shit out of 2 15L7's

Look into other brands... Kicker is probably the most overpriced company that uses their name to get money. The only other company that is more overpriced than Kicker is JL. But atleast with JL you get SQ.

1 Fi Q run by a Memphis MClass 1200x1 @ 1 ohm.......imho

2 15L7's would murder ONE 15 Q! Two Q's is a different story

My Bad... 1 15 BTL Will kill 2 15L7s. I dont feel like looking up the prices right now, but im pretty sure that the Fi option is quicker than the L7's.

ATTENTION ALL SMD MEMBERS: Do not under any circumstance buy anything from Chassistech! They do not stand behind their products & their customer service is horrible. They do not actually manufacture lowering springs, they drop ship them from Spring Tech. Chasistech.com also does business as Airbagit.com, Streetridepro.com & Truckinsuspension.com. They are all the same company! Do not trust these bastards! Their products are cheap & more often than not, you don't get what you actually order in the first place! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
