    or 2x JL Audio 12W3V3D4 via Alpine - V-Power 600W Class D Mono Amp in sealed box

    The kicker has a lot of potential...I'd get that...I love JL also...have a JL sub myself

    ahh thanks for your replies, still would like some more feedback.

    aznboi3644: which JL sub do you have?
    Tbusiness06: if you have a sub/subs which do you own?

    I had one L5 12 in my car a couple of years ago with a 400 watt kicker amp and that hit pretty hard. Im sure the L7 is the newer version and should sound nice.

    I have an old school 15 Dub 4 single 4 ohm subwoofer...aquired it from my cousins friend for 60 bucks.

    And I also now have an old school JL Dub 6...dual 6 ohm...very nice

    The kicker L7's are very punchy and loud...The JL's are a little more refined and smooth

    i have a L5 10 in a factory kicker box .88 cuft.(sealed).and it slams with only 280watts(8 ohms mono).sounds great with all types of music.(well the type i listen too anyways)jazz,country,rap,rock.well i guess that is almost all types lol....oh the L7S are the higher power versions.1200 max vs 900max for the L5

    The L5 can get just as loud as the L7...But the L7 will take the abuse longer without burning up

    The new L5's are beefed up also...more power handling...tougher

    i have a 12inch L7 in a poerted & sealed box w/600watts alpine amp and it still cuts out at around 40volume level,but i installed it so maybe i fukked up the gain or sumthing...it doesnt sound loud on the outside, but the interior is a diff story (neone sitting inside gets a nice back massage 2!)
