ok i just bought a 93 civic . my moms ex had a 12 kicker l7 07 model. he only used it for a month on 200 watts rms. never been abused. it came with the box its a kicker box ported . i payed 180 bucks. its dual 2 ohm. so i need an amp that will thump this sub . i would rather have a head unit 1st . keep the amp and h/u 300 and under plzz. i know most of u hate on the l7 subs but i heard it in my sunfire with only 400 watt junk amp i borrowed from a guy and it was louder and cleaner than my 3 jl's i had sealed. it hit th elows very nice . so i imo think i payed a damn good price for it

Better SQ than an L7? Wow thats a tough one. Write down the names of every other decent brand sub on the market and pick one out of a hat. lol.

I got a aq hdc3 15 to fit in my civic trunk in a 4 cu ft box tuned at 38 hz.
Face it to the trunk and open your small back seat to let air flow it sounds great and the aq will beat the L7 in spl and sound way better doing it

i put a 15L7 in my brothers 09 corolla and it sounded amazing

in my 07 civic it didnt sound too good

i think that sub is car dependant.. the 15L7 blew away his 12" Si BM in SQ but exact opposite in my car

too bad the Orion HCCA-1200's onsale at Ikesound for 95 shipped just got sold out.. good thing i snagged one up haha

the audioque has good sq ? and will get loud right? and in a 93 honda will a 15 sub fit right facing the opening ? with a ported box i sold that kicker . i been finding out that its not that great of a sub. anyways i think i ight pick this alpine amp up . does 1000@2 ohms. only 240 bucks my friends wants he payed over 400. or wait another month and a half and get two twelves not sure and my friend has 2 801d mtx amps rated 800 at 2 ohms but he runs them at 1 ohm all day everyday and they never shut off. he rund 4 tx 15's with the 2 amps. 450 for both .

im just not sure what to get i mean i want it to be loud the seats fold down. but what about an alpine r 15? or just 2 12 r's? just want something that isn't distorted highs in the sub and a sub that will hit lows pretty nicely .i had 2 12's in a ported box 34hertz the subs were dual 4 ohm and were audiopipes lol. with a maxxonics amp 800 rms. and it hurt my ears in my sunfire. so anything thats gonna sound better than that and be louder is a plus

I wouldn't recommend it for the aq, not enough power, the aq hdc3 can take around 2k pretty well. clean power though don't go crazy with any bass boost or crap like that ,, look into the aq amps or do what i did and and get a hifonics 2008d and save up for the aq 2200
