15 "Apline Type R's vs. 15" Kicker L7's

[MA$E 10+ year member]

which one do u think is better? I had L7's (and really liked them) but im thinkin of testin out some new subs, which in this case would be some type R's or any other suggestions would be nice.

please dont suggest fi's, mags, or DD's, if i had the money i would get some of those //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

give the type r 15s a try..i love my 12s..

The Fi SSD 15 new is roughly the same price as the alpine type r 15 unless your buying used, so I dont know why you said dont suggest because of the price, anyways the type r will never be the L7, but its not a bad choice either for testing...I would choose the L7 anyday, but you said you wanted to try somthing different, so whats the main purpose of your thread?

I have 2 15 L5's in a 4.5cuft sealed box with a hifonics bxi1205d amp and

they are very loud and deep, I know the type r's are not as loud

stick with what works

L 7 own type R's any day of the week.

I've owned several L7's and NEVER had a problem with any of them. L7's dont "blow easily" if you know what you're doing. L7 > ARRRRRGGGhhh

L7s are flimsy

alpine is worse

 

[nveselinovic16v 10+ year member]

Out of those two TYPE R owns L7

But if youre going for a pair you'de better get a single 3515 or TreoSSX15.22

you wont be dissapointed

 

[15nissen 10+ year member]

there both good subs. the type R doesnt handle the power as well but i did manange to get the R louder on a mic then the CVX. Either way in a good box, it should wang.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
