likey neither will be "louder", the sx15 would be closest. Both would sound better..

if you had room for that spacehog L7 15", why in helll u think you wont have room for a sx15"?

the kx1500.1 is 2 ohm stable, i believe.. That would require a dual 4 or 1 ohm v.c. sub.

Westlake HS Football FTW! They are a tuff team! My local favorite.

If you ever feel like checking out a decent system that I put together mainly because of ecoustics, just give me a holla... I am a local bail bondsman and i am easy to get in touch with.

You will be hard pressed to find a SQL 12" sub that put out what the l7 15 does.. especially under $300. Would be easy to get better SQ, though.. I cant see getting even close to the output without it being a 15" sub.. is a 15" totally out of the question?
how much space are u working with?
Did you ever get the L7 metered on a termlab? curious as to what kind of numbers (DBZ) yours put out.. How much airspace did the L7 setup have?


just a few questions..

I'd take a look at either a Fi BL or a Audioque HDC3. Both are solid sql subs. I've heard the HDC3 before and they get loud as hell and decent sq. Not the best but certainly not the worst either.

i would need to see the truck.. we talking extended cab?

You dont know what size your old box was?

Who built it? maybe he would know...

As for price... the 15's are not much more expensive than than 12's, usually... Especially used.. Are you willing to go used? I never had a problem with used stuff from off of here.

try
15" re xxx 04'05 model
Maybe Scott from E, still has a DC sounds LVL 4 w/ LVL 5 coils.. it's a 12" and i know it will get loud, dont know about SQ from it. I think it's geared more toward SPL.
DD3512
DD9112
RD alpha V.2
Treo SSi. (ssx if you can get more power)
Ia Death penalty
Soundsplinter rl-p or rl-s
Audiopulse Revo
many many other options
