Just pulled a 144.0 with one in a "daily driver" box :) Sounded loud, i like.

Well i have mine in a 2.25 cu.ft. box tuned to 38 (as stated in my sig) and am feeding it only 420 watts and its been alright. Just hope it lasts til summer.

put l7's in the right box and they will blow you away :)

RIght before they blow up... haha

But, they seem pretty stable if you aren't stupid with em.

Yea...cant complain about the price to loudness ratio. I mean im not really happy w/ the reliability or sq...but for spl its not bad. its just a temporary sub until i either blow it or buy somethin new

yea, they had major issues with the earlier release of the 05 l7's.

and always have had that problem with the surrounds wearing out.

Still loud, and still cheap for what they do!

Ditto to kicker L7's being unreliable. Ive sent 3 back to kicker to be fixed. And i believe all because of voice coil failure. The other one had a broken tinsel lead which i resoldered.

ah btw

kicker has never stepped down... the only "step down" you could say, would be from the OLD school comps, to the newer comps... but of course, thats what the CVR is there for :)

They get better with every revision.. the only thing with the l7's is reliability issues.

The CVR's have a SUPER strong motor and are the most durable subs i've ever used ($ and rating taken into account, of course).

Unlike most other Old School companies... kicker has never sold out, they have only gotten better and cheaper!

ANd yep... all scores are from the trunk of my monte carlo, no special install... just a simple rear firing box. Of course... i've done testing out the butt to get where I'm at :)

Also..the SPL testing is on the NEW TL..not the old one..who says CVR's cant get loud..ha

Update on the CVR's..check out this post http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/show ... ost1040526 shows the subs and some of the boxes..looks like my sub choice just may change.

i know a guy who had 4 kicker comp VRs (15" i believe, but not 100%) in this huge box and then he got a 18" xxx and he said its louder and sounds better. i guess something could have been off but who knows.

id love to hear some solobaric subs, only one ive heard is the solox 18" and all you can really hear is the car shaking, you dont actually hear the notes :P
