Silver Member Username: OneracistguyTWO EGG, FL USA Post Number: 158 Registered: Sep-06 | what about atomic? |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86FTW Post Number: 9886 Registered: Aug-05 | yes. atomic is better than memphis. memphis imo is a step above kicker.  |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 43 Registered: Nov-06 | but theres nothing wrong with kicker imo its just that all those brands are better i think its funny how ive never heard of most of them i always use to think the top brands were rockford JL audio and kicker but ever since i joined this forum it looks like people dont really like kicker y is that? |

|
Silver Member Username: Goodie_goopMidland, Texas U.S. Post Number: 157 Registered: Oct-06 | ^^^i hope your not wanting much sq raymond |
|
Silver Member Username: OneracistguyTWO EGG, FL USA Post Number: 176 Registered: Sep-06 | l7s dont sound that bad not as bad as people say ive used a 12 l7 in a kicker box and it wasnt that bad on sq and did a 140.0 at a comp on 2500 watts |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2966 Registered: Feb-06 | not bad on sq^^, what exactly are you comparing it to? |
|
Silver Member Username: OneracistguyTWO EGG, FL USA Post Number: 179 Registered: Sep-06 | ive heard alot of systems and they are not bad but not good maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10 |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 2968 Registered: Feb-06 | oh, o.k. thought you were going to come back and rate their sq higher like some do. yeah, i'd say a 4, 5 in a really well made box. |
|
Silver Member Username: OneracistguyTWO EGG, FL USA Post Number: 181 Registered: Sep-06 | mine was in a kicker prefab made for the 06 l7 and like i said it wasnt bad ive heard a he11 of alot worst and yes some better |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11140 Registered: Jul-05 | There not that bad....I have like 7 sql subs sitting in my floor.....and im telling u guys L7's are not that bad |
|
Silver Member Username: Spandmh1Tunnel hill, Ga CANT WAIT... Usa Post Number: 168 Registered: Oct-06 | yeah but there not that great either.. u can get better for the money. like a SD2.5? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11141 Registered: Jul-05 | L7>SD2.5 spl SD2.5>L7 sq I would go L7 all day over a sd2.5..but it Depends on what u want ur looking for....oh and audioque for durabilty...even though i have not had a single problem with any L7 i have used or seen....so it just depends |
|
Silver Member Username: Spandmh1Tunnel hill, Ga CANT WAIT... Usa Post Number: 169 Registered: Oct-06 | SD2.5<L7 PRICE!!! thats why im gettin 2.5's and ive heard 2.5's are equal to L7's in spl but surpasses the L7 in sq greatly |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11147 Registered: Jul-05 | "and ive heard 2.5's are equal to L7's in spl but surpasses the L7 in sq greatly" who told u that???Loololol....U do realize for the price nothing gets louder then an L7....If everything in the install is perfect..I can not think of a single sub for under $200 that will get as loud or louder then an L7, with the same amount of power..in a "perfect install"....cant think of a single one..but then again it is 1:30 am....but still.lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 45 Registered: Nov-06 | chea and for the price im gettin them its a steal 2 12" L7s for 3 bills is extremely cheap and i just like hard hitting bass so i think ill be extremely happy with them |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11149 Registered: Jul-05 | ^^hope thats new with a warranty |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 46 Registered: Nov-06 | to my surprise it was a local dealer is hooking me up he said as long as he installs it itwill have a warranty and since i allready have my wires ran and everything hes just going to charge me 20 bucks to hook it up i can do it myself but he said he has to do it for it to have the warranty wich 20 bucks aint sh*t |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11150 Registered: Jul-05 | u going sealed or ported??? sealed L7's=waste... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 47 Registered: Nov-06 | yeah i hear u get slightly better sq but i bought them for spl so im definately going ported how hard u think 2 12s will hit i got a really compact 94 Jetta so mostly nething hits hard in there |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11152 Registered: Jul-05 | just make sure u port around 35hz-38hz....that is where L7's really shine |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 48 Registered: Nov-06 | i know prefabs arent that good but i know if i make the box my self it will prolly look and sound like sh*t but i know i can buy a prefab that is tuned to 38 hz |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11153 Registered: Jul-05 | get somebody to make u one...local...or somebody on this forum will make a great box...Marshall,Kebo,etc... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 49 Registered: Nov-06 | but how much is it going to be and then the shipping wouldnt that be like over a bill on just the box? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11155 Registered: Jul-05 | im sure somebody could get u a great box for around 100-125 shipped....remember the box is one of the most important things in an install.... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 50 Registered: Nov-06 | i have to agree with u there install ftw lol but besides the box aslong as i get an amp that is 1500 watts rms at 1 ohm and my system should sound really good right well bass wise |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11156 Registered: Jul-05 | i was giving each of my L7's around 1400rms...and they where fine....but u shouldnt hear a difference from 1500-2000 anyway... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 51 Registered: Nov-06 | so what amp or amps were u using? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11157 Registered: Jul-05 | kicker sx1250.1's on each.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 52 Registered: Nov-06 | i wish i could afford those lol do u know ne other amps that are more on a budget |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11158 Registered: Jul-05 | what is ur budget???and do u have the electrical system to run the kind of power that u will need?? |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 53 Registered: Nov-06 | i dont know i use to hove one 12 Atlas and that was running it good no dimming light nothing and that was 900 watts rms so idk but ill just have to see and i was looking for an amp around 300 or less if possible to bush the pair |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11159 Registered: Jul-05 | this should but out a bit more then the stated 1200rms and the build is excellent... http://cgi.ebay.com/US-Amps-Merlin-Series-MD1D-NIB_W0QQitemZ170072041608QQihZ007 QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 54 Registered: Nov-06 | i had found a crunch amp on mycarjams.com and it was like less then 200 and said it would give out 1500 watts at 1 ohm but dont know if thas a good brand or not |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11161 Registered: Jul-05 | crunch=crap....i bet that was max watts...not rms... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 55 Registered: Nov-06 | oh well what about this SPL amp i was going to get it was 1800 at one ohm rms and i use to have a 1600 watt spl amp for the Atlas i use to have so i know that they bump good but isnt that going to over power them too much cus price wise its good a lil under 300 and would be a good match for the pair |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11162 Registered: Jul-05 | SPL=crap...u are making a huge jump from a 300rms sub to 2 750+rms subs...max watts are pointless... Look for an amp that does 1500-2000rms @1ohm or 2ohm..depending on the vc configs of the sub |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 56 Registered: Nov-06 | no that hifonics atlas i had was 900 watts rms 1800 peak and the spl amp i had was 1600 max but was giving my sub 745 watts rms |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11163 Registered: Jul-05 | haha...when u said atlas...i thought u meant the good 1...Ascendant Audio...and i still doubt that amp was putting out that much... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 57 Registered: Nov-06 | lol well it burnt up two 15" Audiobahns that were 650 rms each so it was pushing good enough then i took them back for just the single 12 and it was just as loud if not a lil louder then that got jacked |
|
Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1802 Registered: Mar-06 | "burnt up two 15" Audiobahns " You mean clipped em to death. Very common mistake in termanolgy |
|
Silver Member Username: TanmanfoshoFi SSD15 Wangers Post Number: 571 Registered: Nov-06 | ahhhhhhh |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 58 Registered: Nov-06 | so what is the cause of clipping? |
|
Silver Member Username: Rosrock2000Notre dame!USA Post Number: 188 Registered: Dec-06 | basically trying o get more out of from your amp than it really can.. turning loud on h.u... turnign up bb.. turning up gain/remote bass.. all these basically can cause clipping. o yes and try not turn hu past 75 percent of voulme knob. putting sub into a small as* eclsure than its reccomended for(ive had exper |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 60 Registered: Nov-06 | so if i have an equalizer and i have all my things on the HU down but the sub output on the equalizer all the way up can that cuase clipping as well? |
|
Silver Member Username: Rosrock2000Notre dame!USA Post Number: 189 Registered: Dec-06 | You won't need to turn the sub output on your h.u. all the way up if your gain on amp is set correctly. The objecive is to set the voltage(gain) to match your hu's preouts voltage.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 61 Registered: Nov-06 | so do what do u measure the voltage with so u can make sure they match well since im getting it profesionally installed so it can have the warranty they will do that for me right? |
|
Silver Member Username: Goodie_goopMidland, Texas U.S. Post Number: 164 Registered: Oct-06 | i think ur supposed to use a dmm to measure the voltage and set the gain |
|
Silver Member Username: Rosrock2000Notre dame!USA Post Number: 192 Registered: Dec-06 | yes.. just ask them to use a dmm and set the gain for you.. if they are a decent shop theyll know how i assume. dont know if theyll charge extra. or**you could do it by yourself.. it aint to hard. peeps could help ya. |
|
Silver Member Username: Rosrock2000Notre dame!USA Post Number: 193 Registered: Dec-06 | i dont have a link to a site to tell you how but omeone here could give ya one.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 63 Registered: Nov-06 | so does it matter where the voltage is at so is it better if its higher or lower? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 11169 Registered: Jul-05 | yes it matters..where the voltage is set...That is why u messed up those audioburns...Generally speaking the higher the HU's voltage the better... |
|
Bronze Member Username: BasssquaredPost Number: 65 Registered: Nov-06 | lol lmao nice pun on the audiobahns or i guess it was a nice BURN lol |
