if you want it louder.
then go with the box tuned to 38hz
they both are about the same cubic feet per chamber.so pick whichever one you like. the higher it is tuned, the louder it will be....but the more SQ you sacrifice......BUT you wont notice a reall any SQ decrease at 38hz. my box is tuned at 40hz and it sounds incredible. most SPL tuned boxes are around 45 and up:-)

Well to tell you the truth, don't get either. If price doesn't matter look for somebody to make one for you (ex. t-cab) or even make one yourself, because boxes off ebay that are prefab generally suck. But if you must get one of those, the subzone would be better...

not really....unless you had them both, you would be able to pick out the differences.....but you wont buy one and say "damn, i wish i would have bought the one tuned to 38/35hz."

hahaha, they are L7's anyway.:P

both of those boxes are too small for L7 15's...2.5cuft per sub just isnt enough IMO.

you really want at least 3.5cuft per L7 15"...4cuft would be better.

well im not sure on a 35 to 38hz range but in my ride difference between 32 to 36 is VERY noticable .

yes u do get more spl with 36 but imo u miss so much of the deeper music freqs , 32 is VERY GOOD SQ but u lose some SPL - thats y personally i like 33/34hz 4 my tastes ...if u want ppl 2 hear u outside then go 4 a higher tuned box ....

i'll put it this way...1 sub in a properly built enclosure can DESTROY 2 in a sh!tty one.

its not gonna be easy to build a 7cuft+ enclosure in the trunk...but it will be well worth the trouble to get a good box. (BTW...a 7cuft net box will actually be closer to 8cuft gross)

I'm going to be putting in a single chamber box that I'm building myself which will have about 7 cubes (thx marshall :-)) into an Acura, so I'm pretty sure you could do 3.5 per sub or find a single chamber like mine and have about the same size in a Cadillac. Either way, It'll be a big as* box. What model anyways?

Well I'm going to take a stab at this and guess you want one loud as* system. Personally, I would get rid of the Kickers you have, get a Solo X 12" or something similar, and have a box made for it. It would be completely loud and fit where you want it to go. A good place to get a box made would be http://www.woodlawncabinetry.com/ Just give them the specs recommended for whatever sub. I know its a pain to do all this but in the end it would be worth it. As for that site, no clue how good the boxes are.
