Let me start off by saying that I've owned several Solo-Barics and I love them.. but they've always been in a ported box. This time I want to do a sealed box to save space and also for better SQ.
I had a 10" L7 in a ported box and it was amazing, but I once put it in a small sealed box and it sounded HORRIBLE. i think it was either because the box was too small, not air tight, or just poor quality.. but because of this incident I have doubts that an L7 will sound good in a sealed box.
I have a Kicker KX600.1 amp which actually makes 710W RMS. Now, whatever sub I get I'm going to be putting it into a small sealed enclosure. I just can't decide between the Comp VX and the L7. I know the L7 will be a bit louder because of the square cone, and honestly I like the look of the L7 more, but won't the VX be a little cleaner? Both handle 750W RMS, so the amp will be almost perfect to push either.
From what I understand, it's pretty much the same sub (same cone, magnet, frequency response, power handling, etc.) Just the L7 is square the the CVX is round, obviously. The CVX is also a little cheaper.. I just can't make up my mind! What would you all do? Thanks in advance..
Out of those two if you want better SQ get the CVX 12". Do you have room for a small vented box if so try(2.5"x12.5"vent 20"long) don't forget about displacement. Thats what a friend of mind is useing and it beats and sounds good. And he got a Kicker KX400.1 on it.
Like it has been said before, IMO I think you would be happier with another company like AA or Fi but like muddy said, as long as you are happy it's all good
