Ok I have 1 15" Kicker L7 and 1 15" Alpine Type R. Which one should I keep? Pretty close I suppose.. Type R's hold better sound most likely while the L7s push more spl. If it was you which one would you keep?

And also would 1200-1300 watts be ok for the type r daily? I'm sure it would.. but I'd hate to be wrong. Probably in a 6ft^3 box ported.

Haha nah can't keep them both need money for a new amp. the l7 is a month old the type r is brand new. I've never heard it before so I can't go by ear to tell which one I should keep.. but Alpine really did well with that type R, it seems like a lot of people like them

For Sure... Wish I would have gotten the 2 ohm tho. I planned on getting 2 4 ohms and wiring down to 1 ohm.. hopefully i can sell that l7 and buy another type r.

Type R and a 2500D is not going to last too long...Go to TCAB site a look at the video with the L7.

If the L7 is also in a good box such as a TCAB, it will probably a little louder. However, kickers SQ and build quality suck. The Type R is the better all around sub.


What I was trying to say is that Mark has a lot of expierence with TypeR's and can build boxes that make them way louder than you would expect.

it doesnt matter if they get along or not...its all about how they perform on the field, i dont give a f0ck if they hate each other off the field, on the field its nothing but business

and of course they all wanna be the best, what kind of player doesnt wanna be the best on their team?? that arguement makes no sense either...try again...WHAMMY lol

and you say bump casue the forum doesnt pick up on the fact you posted something and they dont "bump" the thread to the top of the list...so you post "bump" hoping the forum "bumps" the thread to the top...

Yanks fan leave him alone...you cant compare apples
to oranges nor YANKEES to twins.. yes the Yankees do get high price free agents...A ton of teams wish they could, bottom line is they cant afford them, so they are now GREEN with envy.If there team could spend like the Yankees they would not hate the way they do ...Got Rings???
