I think my L7 is dying. Big suprise huh?! It plays intermittently. When i hit bumps, it goes in and out. It also sounds kinda crunchy. I know its the sub, b/c just sitting in the driveway, if its not playing i can lightly push on the cone and it will begin to play music again.
Oh well, another kicker down the drain. I tried finding a cheap one on fleabay (just to hold me over), but they all cost 100 or more. If i could find a cheapish set up for like 200 bux i would probably go for it, but money is tight right now (goddam college).
So, to all of you who want to buy kicker L7's, think again. This will be my 6th L7 i have managed to kill.
Why the waste

I only bought the first pair, sometime back in 2002 or 2003. Then i just kept sending them back to kicker for warranty. Now that i know better (this board has taught me a lot), i know there is a lot better stuff out there for a lot less money.
I just need to find money first in order to get something different.

although it is an audiobahn amp id bet its the l7 its probably my most hated sub because of its unreliablitly... i dont mind the kicker round subs but in my mind the square subs are shit... there loud ya but for a few months untill they crap out the only other subs i dislike are the new lower version mtx's the tinsel leads snap like balsal wood and the soldier they use is to high in resistance and melts at high volume for extended periods... causing tinsel lead failure

No, its not the amp. You can hear crunchiness coming from the sub. Its shot, just like the last 5 ive killed.

Yes, tinsel leads do snap on the L7's. Ive already soldered one back on. THE L7's SUCK!!!!
