Okay gang, got one for ya. Buddy of mine at work, approached me the other day says hes got a L7 for sale. Heres the kicker(no pun intended).


He said when you hook it up, if you wire one voicecoil at a time (either one makes no difference). It plays fine, but when you wire both coils up at the same time there is a noticeable loss of bass.

So to sum up either coil hooked up by itself it pounds, both coils hooked up. Hardly no bass at all.

His amp is around a 600 watt(no specifics).

I dont want/need the L7 I was just curious what the deal is with it.

Only explanation would be he is hooking one coil up opposite the other. So while ones trying to push, the other is trying to pull.

I wouldn't even consider buying it since he obviously has run it off only one of the voice coils. That's why you gotta be careful buying used equipment, it is amazing what people do with audio.

They are wired out of phase guaranteed

Yeah I aint gonna buy it. Like I said I dont need it. But it does kinda speak volumes for his work, as he installs on the side also.
