Wow man, thats a huge difference. P1's or L7's. If money isn't an issue go with the L7's. I have to 10inch L7's and they sound unbelieveable. You need to make sure you get the correct amp to run them or you are gonna be disappointed. I get a hook on L7's so if you wanna deal hit me up.

im not very familiar with rockford fosgate, but i doubt the P1's would even handle the 975 watt amp if its a monoblock (or even a 2 channel). But yeh, like he said, if your not worried about money, go for the L7's ( or JL W3's are nice too for the price)

yup, those rockfords are the lowest models, i think they only handle like 200 watts RMS, defenatly save up for something better

If you don't mind the wait, I can get your two L7 12's (brand new) for like 200 a pop, and a kicker amp of your choice, prices will differ. Let me know.

You can buy L7's off ebay all day for cheap. I suggest going to www.reaudio.com and picking up a single SX12, put it in a 2.5 cu ft box ported and tuned to 34hz and finding a used PG Tantrum 1200.1 or a JBL BP 1200.1
