Proly explains why i cant find one used now. Subs didnt sound muffled at all sealed and got pretty **** loud. He shld sell the l7s on craigslist...300 together easy...then buy sum that sounds good sealed.

Instead of sticking with the 15's why not sell them and get 2 beefy 10" or 12" subs, then you could possibly run ported with the smaller size requirement that you have. On craigslist you could get good money for the L7's and then get you some SA8's or SA10's

Or get a used 15 ia dp n a 5cf ported box. Should make sum noise..

oh ok, For me I would rather have some 8's or 10's or a single 15 in a properly sized ported box than sticking with 2 sealed 15 in a sealed box that isnt really utilizing its potential. But to each their own.

^-- What he just said.
In the right enclosure and install L7's can win IASCA SQ world championships. Just ask Gary Biggs and Mark Eldridge (2005 champs). Granted they are pros and had ridiculous resources from kicker at their disposal..

pretty sure those L7's were alot better than the new junk out now days.........

The OP does have the original 2002 L7s, the same ones Mark and Gary won with.

if you want to use them y not try aero ports? the boxes usually dont have to be a big as a slot port

im not big on kicker subs. l7's are ok but i wouldnt use them just IMO. id try a single 15 & port it

Agreed but all subs dnt sound better ported. 2 15s in a properly sealed box will sound jus fine. Just have to find the right subs. Really just depends on the kind of sound hes lookin for tho.
