18" SSD vs 15" L7

[aimation 10+ year member]

What sub would be louder?

Two 18" ssd rated at 800wrms or Two 15" L7 rated at 750wrms in a ported enclosure.

and yes a 15" L7 is rated at 750wrms in a ported enclosure, and 1000wrms in a sealed, acording to the manual.

Amp = XX-Zeus 1600wrms @ 1 ohm @ 12 volts

L7's will sound worse but theres not telling which will get louder. Too many variables

well i dont know about the ssd's, never used them, but when i had my 15" L7's, it sure took more that 750 watts to get them REALLY moving

VS threads are so ghey

How many of them are people going to make

Just pull the trigger and pick one man, don't need anyone to hold your hand all the time

or do you?

Do the research yourself, and after you've gathered the information make an intelligent decision.

There are a million threads like this and they are ghey.

L7's are known to get loud, but sound like poo to some

SSD's aren't really a well known woofer quite yet.

SSD has a slight advantage in cone area, and plenty more throw

Both seem to be capable woofers

15" L7 = 1000w

Theoretically, the 18's should be louder but they will also prefer a bit more enclosure size. There is also no telling, and nobody here knows the answer to your question.

Im giving my 15'' L7 roughly 1200 watts. And i can tell it can take more.

It sounded much better on my old RF 1500bd which put out 1700wrms and yes it is ported

If you have the space, go with the 18's

coming from a guy that has a pic of a kicker in his avatar, i'd say this is non biased.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I asked scott what of his products would compare to a 12l7

Hmmm... it is a tough call when it comes to the L7s. They simply have more surface area than a regular 12" and that normally puts them up a little higher on the output. An SSD12 would probably keep up fairly well, but I am basing this solely on second hand experience with L7s vs SX subs in spl apps... I have no actual first hand experience in using L7s. Im sure that in the right app, a Q would fair well against it in SPL... and undoubtedly SQ.

ssd's. i personally love them. my L5's were sloppy (but loud)..im assuming L7's are the same way? the ssd's are crisp and clean.
