The other one is a Hifonics ZX14006 Zeus 2 channel amp rated at 400x1. Whats better quality and better sound? The Infinity is only $88 and the Hifonics is only $110. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2877 Registered: Dec-05 | they don't... maybe he found 1 in a million |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 22 Registered: Oct-06 | Funny, haha. How many L5's have you owned? Maybe you just don't know how to hook them up. I could donate my time to help the less fortunate learn car audio. If you're not to proud to except my help. |

ROFL L5's dont have any sound quality and its just one of those subs were the install doesnt matter, its just to terrible |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 25 Registered: Oct-06 | Like I asked, how many have you owned? You quoted me, so I should have to repeat myself. |
|
Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2885 Registered: Dec-05 | DAVE how many have you owned? 2 or a 100?? They all sound bad, they get loud, maybe you forgot the SQ value. I've never owned those subs cuz i'm more a SQ fan. |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 32 Registered: Oct-06 | Exactly my point. You've never owned them so you wouldn't know. I have owned them and gotten very good sound quality from them. Like I've stated, I don't run around recycling crap I've heard from others. So how is what you are saying fact and what I'm saying wrong? |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1289 Registered: Nov-04 | lol they have no SQ, that statement alone proves the true magnitude of your N00Biness (awesome word i made up) |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 385 Registered: May-06 | i infact have owned a 12" l5, i had it for 3 weeks, it sounded pitiful. my db drives had WAAAAAYYYY better sq. i dont think SQ is in the l5's vocab, it jus yells really loud |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 34 Registered: Oct-06 | Your so called proof has no basis. Your new word shows just how ignorant you are. |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 35 Registered: Oct-06 | I suppose you were running one of the beloved crap amps and decks all of your buddies recommend. I could have saved you a lose on those subs and hooked them up the right way for you. |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1290 Registered: Nov-04 | dave seriously man, you have dug yourself a big enough hole as it is, why keep digging. L5's sound awful, one of the worst subs on the market unless your goal is to have something somewhat loud that has no SQ to speak of |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 388 Registered: May-06 | nah man, i have a 600 dollar alpine amp, with an infinity 611a. i actully hated that amp. but it did ok. when i buy stuff i dont screw around wen i know what i want |

New member Username: Rock_hardPost Number: 10 Registered: Sep-06 | you guys can stop posting in here. your posts are completely useless and have nothing to do with this. Dave, i completely agree with you, the Kicker sounds good. I only have an 8" and it sounds great. the others, i dont' care whether or not u think the subs sound good. what is your point exactly? why are you in here telling us the L5's sound shitty? |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1292 Registered: Nov-04 | my proof has no basis? you said the L5's had SQ, the idiocy of that statement rivals anything i have ever seen posted on these forums from noobs like yourself |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 394 Registered: May-06 | ^^^^^^totally agree^^^^^^ they must have not heard real subs before. |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1293 Registered: Nov-04 | rock hard, i am here to try and save people from listening to people like dave. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rock_hardPost Number: 11 Registered: Sep-06 | what the hell is your point? i dont' get it? do u feel better about yourself when u shoot down other peoples systems and equipment? christ, grow up man. do u think calling me, or anybody a "noob" is going to offend me? get lost and post in other threads where you can actually help someone |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1294 Registered: Nov-04 | im not trying to put down anyone but Dave, i just hate to see good money wasted and thought i could help steer you away from bad stuff. If you would listen to me than you would realize I am actually helping but w/e good luck with your 8 inch piece of garbage, cya in a few weeks after it blows |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 396 Registered: May-06 | we are helping ppl ....from listening to dave like DR.SMITHHD3 said. we arent calling jus urs sh!tty, jus kicker subs in general |
|
New member Username: Robalan10Post Number: 5 Registered: Oct-06 | Rock hard, I got the hifonic 1200 w. powering my two 12" JL audio sub and it rocks honestly when i bought it I wasn't expecting more because normally what you paid is what you get, but I was wrong the sound is fantastic and the bass it's now kicking my back super loud very good stuff!! |
|
Bronze Member Username: CognitionPost Number: 23 Registered: Sep-06 | Guys, if the L5 is shitty, what do you think are better 8" or 10" subs priced around $100 for SQ? |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2895 Registered: Dec-05 | These guys need a new life. I don't need to own a sub to know the way it sounds. DR smith don't waste your time with these guys... We know the business already... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rock_hardPost Number: 12 Registered: Sep-06 | so because we disagree with you about what sounds good, you think we need a new life? i think i need degenerateto find help at a new forum...this one is filled with mouthy know-it-all morons with nothing better to do than lip people off about their equipment. |
|
Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2956 Registered: Sep-05 | kicker "L" series subs are not the best sound quality sub, that being said, if that is a dual 4 ohm sub, i would run like the zx-300.1 or 400.1 sub and then the infinity, the hifonics is only 4 ohm stable bridged. since your using 1 sub.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: MitymousePost Number: 44 Registered: Oct-06 | "These guys need a new life. I don't need to own a sub to know the way it sounds. DR smith don't waste your time with these guys... We know the business already..." Typical closed minded response. Business?!? I see the problem now. You guys view something that should be enjoyable as a business. I've had some low-end subs that have impressed me and others with the right box, amp, vehicle, and settings. How can you judge a component you haven't experimented with? I know I can't. |

Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1320 Registered: Nov-04 | dude just go away lol, i have experience with L5's and they suck |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rock_hardPost Number: 13 Registered: Sep-06 | why don't you go away? this isnt' even a topic on L5s |
|
Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Lindsay, Oklahoma Post Number: 406 Registered: May-06 | it is about an l5 u jackass. u mentioned them yourself. maybe u should like go into hiding or something, cause ur embarassing yourself |
|
Bronze Member Username: Rock_hardPost Number: 14 Registered: Sep-06 | yeah i did...i mentioned them because i wanted to know what to POWER them with...in the AMPLIFIER forum. i should go into hiding becausei'm embarrasing myself? infront of who? two internet forum readers? hahahaha your an idiot. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2905 Registered: Dec-05 | can you get another sub?? in case you can't just get a 500w rms amp and you're done |
