well yea there kicker L5s i have 2 12s in a sealed box and they hit really loud but would the MTX 4500 be louder because i would be powering them better then the L5s. I mean im giving the L5s like 250-300 watts each and ther 600 RMS and the 4500 have like 400 rms

On the same power there won't be much difference in loudness.

And the MTX will sound a hell of a lot better.

Nope. Keep the L5's, sell your current amp and buy a new amp to power them right.

Yea I jus upgraded to two L7's from and MTX 5500 which I take is better than the 4500 and its a major upgrade but idk how much better the L7 is than the L5 but if I were u I would stick will the L5's and get a bigger amp.

Me personally I prefer the L5 def over the 4500 I had 1 5500 and it was pretty good but the 4500 from circuit city I've heard it there and I think the L5 is defintely a better sub if you power it right but its up to you.

Your L5's aren't even fully powered. If you got a better amp then they would definitely be louder than his MTX's.

"Kicker SX1250.1"
hah, idk about anyone else here, but for me, money doesnt grow on trees. If he had that money to spend on an amp like that, im sure he wouldnt be considering to trade for some $h!tty 4500's
