Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 1379 Registered: Nov-06 | i sold my L7s and everything else i had so i'm gonna have a budget of around 600 dollars but i found these 18" subs that looked decent the rms is really low for 18"s but what do you guys think about them? MA Audio MA180XE i would be giving them 1500 watts rms from a db drive amp |

Much cheaper. About the same power rating. They look way better too, IMO. |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 879 Registered: Nov-06 | Well theoretically, the Mach 5's will get louder, just like taking the MAs and adding 2/3 of your original power. |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 882 Registered: Nov-06 | He wants low RMS. Although, the SSD would probably work. I think they come in 18s... Yup. So the SSD would probably be louder, but it's more than twice the price. |

Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 1384 Registered: Nov-06 | OK pretty much i want any sub or subs that on only 1500 watts rms will get louder than the 2 12" L7s i had |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3805 Registered: Nov-05 | i told him it will be hard to get louder with a single sub on that power ... if you increased you power you'd for sure be louder with even a single better sub.. i still a single HD3, SX, BL, or similar on that power would be comparable to two 12" L7s .. btw.. are you thinking about space? most likely you'd end up running the 18"s sealed.. i'd go with a single 15" ported.. or an 18" ported if itll fit.. you could always do two 12"s again.. but again your going to have problems getting louder on the same power |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 694 Registered: Apr-07 | My bro did a direct swap replacing his 12L7 for a 12 BL and gained a lot. I'd go with an 18 (or 15 if it's all that will fit) BL with 1500, and if its not enough add a 2nd. I'd put a lot of effort into a good ported enclosure as well. |
