Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2472 Registered: Nov-06 | posts like that kill this forum MS if you dont like L7s then give some constructive criticism instead of just posting pics and i believe your opinion is worthless since you've never ran an L7 i personally have and know many people who have and love them the only down size i see to them is the price |

What is your budget for subs, amp, and enclosure? Do you want SQ, SQL, or SPL? this next link is a Tacoma running RD audio... Took 1st at Usaci worlds last year in Dallas. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2YogzDVZwY www.rdaudio.net dont gop by retail price. If interested I can tell you who you need to get in touch with for a much better price on their products. I have 2-12" AQ sd2.5's than need about 1200 clean watts. You can buy the matching amp (AQ1200) for $249 shipped BNIB from factory dealer (I ordered one yesterday). www.Audioque.com I'de let them both go for $150 + actual shipping. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 459 Registered: Dec-08 | I like the pics too. I've heard alot of kicker setups, some of them sound halfway ok, but not for the price they paid. Its just a bunch of hype. 1. whats your price range? 2. do you any equipment already? 3. SQ? SQL? SPL? 4. do you have to buy from a store or can you buy online? |

Post Number: 2634 Registered: May-07 | nice lil amp. there is nothing wrong with MTX amps for the most part. and i believe it is CEA compliant. you can try to find a 15" Treo SSX, Would be a nice match for that amp(along with many other options) that just popped into my head, sooo... |

Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan13Northern VA Post Number: 11154 Registered: Jul-06 | 2 Fi SSD's wouldn't be a bad choice. You'd be under powering them but I have seen plenty of people feed 1500rms to a pair. |

New member Username: LightinfootPonchatoula, La Us Post Number: 6 Registered: Feb-09 | yea i've never heard fi's subs so i'm not to sure. the only setups i've heard are kicers L7s,L5s,cvx,and comps. jl audio w6,w3,w1 memphis mojos fockford fasegate p2's and audiobahn imortal series i thought the jl's sounded the best tho. they hit hard and we'll they just sounded better. it might be because of the box tho. it was a custom fiberglass box built to hold four of them. and it was in a gmc sanoma. any sugestions out of any of the brands i listed? |

yup. look into the brands and subs that we talked about earlier |

Bronze Member Username: Gboo559Post Number: 16 Registered: Jan-09 | I would go with the JL but they are pretty overpriced and you could get something sounding louder for less. I know how you want to go with 2 15's but if you get 1 15' and power it right and get a built to specs box it will sound louder than 2 in prefab...and you'll make most people confused on how 1 sub is louder than their 2 lol. youtube Fi subs and you'll find some nice videos |

New member Username: LightinfootPonchatoula, La Us Post Number: 8 Registered: Feb-09 | thanks gevork. and mark, i don't really want to buy any brand that i haven't heard or even seen before. |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2640 Registered: May-07 | then why did you ask from peeps with experience? We have lived and learned whyat are the better subs, but you are more than welcome tgo make you own mistakes. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9980 Registered: Jul-06 | Out of what you listed, everything is crap just about except JL. Which is good but way overpriced. " i don't really want to buy any brand that i haven't heard or even seen before. " Fair enough but you're missing out on a lot then. Most of the best brands are the most uncommon on the street so you will likely never see them. |

Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan13Northern VA Post Number: 11155 Registered: Jul-06 | The SSDs would blow the W6, W3, and W1's out of the water. And yes, I have heard them all. Granted the W6 would be a better choice than the SSD for a SQ install. |

Bronze Member Username: Gboo559Post Number: 17 Registered: Jan-09 | your welcome jonathan but you should consider trying the Fi subs. WAY better than kicker. I used to be like you a few years ago thinking kicker pioneer and jl were the best. I also didn't like brands I didn't know or were available at local shops. But trust me after you hear some fi or aq subs you'll never want kicker again. |
