Audio/Visual & Electronics - kicker in daa trunk

well i sold my alpines last week, and now.. im getting my holiday paycheck which will put me at around 550 bucks to spend.. im looking to get a good kicker setup///

i can either get::

2 12in l7 BRAND NEW 300 + 50 for enclosure (and amp which will be expensive)

orr

1 15in l7 and enclosure for like 245 and buy a nice amp.. and maybe a cap

this is going in a 94 civic sedan.. whatcha thinK

I have one 12in l5 and its plenty. L7s are a waste of money for most people, the only advantage they have is the ability to handle more power, they sound the same as l5s with the same power to them. I'd say go with a pair of 10s or a single 12 and a decent amp

well i heard a single 10, and it didnt bump like my 2 alpines did, obviously.. do you think one 12 at RMS would??

a single 12 in a nice ported box would be all that you need. Btw, the RMS on these subs are pretty conservative, you wouldnt need to worry much about giving it a little extra juice

so like 1 kicker l7 w/ a 750w mono block amp would be where its at orr what?

1000 watts on an L7 is nothing, you're not going to be blasting it hours on end anyhow. if you get one sub make sure its dual 2ohm so it can be wired to 1ohm

I would get 2 12's and a bad assed amp if i were buying, or 10's, which is my preference, and a perfectly powered setup. 10's thump, 12's rumble, 15's are just stupid.

friend has a blazer with 1 15 l7 and 1700watts to it and its amazing.

well i got l7 today.. 750watts hooked it up for about 10 minutes and then i got in a car crashh.. lol

whats so amazing about it, the way that you can't hear any of the highs or mids for that matter.

^^^ that blows, hopefully it's not damaged, doubt your insurance will cover it.

if your sub is drowning out your mids/highs then you need to spend more money on nice mids/highs and an amp to power them. i've had 18s, 15s, 12s, and 10s and never had a problem hearing mids/highs.

if it ain't loud enough make it louder

If i had that much i would have rolled for a jl audio 12w7
