L7's are about impossible to beat spl to price. your going to have to step up the power if you want to go louder and drop some cash. 1 sub is definitely not going to do it unless you have something fierce with a few kW pushing it with a real good install.

what exactly is you current setup? box and all...

Like Eric said it is going to be hard to do. You would have to get a better amp (more power). Do you know the maximum amount of room you have for a box?

LOL @ brad. Do you any electrical work done? Ur going to need another batt or two, HO alt, wire. Ur not going to get loud with that hifonics 1600. Those subs are probably only seeing 600-700 watts each. 500 isn't going to be enough to get louder than you are now.

i know a guy who has 2 kicker 12 L5's in a Jetta and they are super loud. They're in a factory prefab ported enclosure. The L7's should pound. How much power are you pushing them? that could be the difference.

Yea but he has a Dodge Intrepid. So that will be a lot harder to get as loud as a Jetta. Your box looks to be roughly 6.68 cu ft before displacement.

You have enough room to fit 2 FI audio 15" SSD's in a compact box. If you could make your box a little bigger then they would be able to perform better. And if you could go with a RD 1750...

It will put out more than the hifonics yes especially if they rate them at 12.6 volts like my sundown saz 3500d.
