Ok guys so im looking for a VERY loud system. Ive searched about kicker, because those are the subs id like to use and ive found out that some love them and others say the solo's are sh t. Now I love the look of the solo barics. I like good sounding stuff also so i thought about 2 15"L7's and maybe 2 10"s. What would yall reccomend for a loud *** system (amps, subs, everything)? Im pretty new to the whole sound world. Also im looking to spend as little money as possible as i race atvs and that sucks more money than i know whut to do with, i mean race fuel is about 6-7$$ a gallon. Thanks guys.

 

loud...just get a jl audio 12w7 and their amp to go with it. but yea kicker is loud. and the l7 solo is awesome too. i would get 2 10's that would hit very nice.

 

ok why should i go JL vs kicker? like i said the solo's have a certain badass to them IMO.

 

yes they do but i have personally heard the jl vs. kicker and the jl just (sounds) cleaner. i like them both honestly. either way, i promise you you arent going to go wrong.

 

ok. Im goin to go kicker because lots of people around here have jl and i like to be a little different. any ideas for boxes? ported , sealed or the 5th bandpass? i think its 5th?

 

Bandpass blows, If you want loud as hell, go with ported, and power the hell out of the sub, within 90% at least, of its required RMS wattage.

I wouldn't mix sizes though, get 2 L7 12's and a badazz amp, ported, it will be more then you can handle.

Have to have the power though, none of those junky *** 4000 watt Bob's Car Stereo amps.

1 12" L7 wants 750RMS and can peak out at 1500 watts, that means if you get 2, you need an amp that will push 1500 RMS watts, and the peak value will be through the roof, 3000 maybe. They also want a larger box, if ported, so your looking at almost 2 cubic feet per sub, meaning less trunk space, but more overall sound.

Your subs are going to be pretty high, but the amp will be ungodly, 400-500 min. If thats something you want to spend, upwards of 1k, let us know and we can try and suggest some amps, or Kicker combinations.

If you were to just get 1 L7 12, and run it to a smaller mono amp that pushes almost 750RMS watts, you could get away with that too, and probably still be pretty dang loud. It's all in your spending limit I guess.

 

ok i allready have one L7 15" and am goin to go with 15's. And as far as amps under 600$ sounds good, but ill have to save up, dollar general dosent pay that well. But there are some bad *** cars around and the owners all are putting kicker down, i want to show them wrong because ive seen kickers that drive the air out of your chest. trunk space.....IMO thats system space. id like a little bit but if better sounds means less space so be it, im a perforemance guy in motors and suspenion and sound!!!! thanks stumasters you seem to know your **** man.

 

this brings up a question, i've always wondered:

why the hell are doods on here willing to pay upwards of thousands of dollar$ to buy audio equipment and then turn around and get $15 headers off ebay???

 

^^^ lol good question, but i kno i listen to my sound system everyday, i do not however, listen to my headers......

 

but your sound system doesn't remove gas pulses from your engine block everyday either, now do they? lol
