2 12inch L5's or 1 15 L7

which one will get louder with both setups in a 5.0 cubic ft box ported. And hooked up to a KX 1200.1. I am buying one or the other set up soon. Thanks for any info.

i just hookerd up a 15L5 in a ported box with only like 2cubes in my truck, and its freakin loud. i would go with the 15L7

with that amp i'd go with 2 l7s, it'd be overpowering the 1 15; you could do it, but watch your gains, that amp is notorious for putting out almost 1500 watts

i have a 0515l5 catching 1200wrms in a sealed temp box, and its louder than my 0215l7 at 600wrms in a ported box, go with the 15, get a dual 4 woofer and wire it to 2ohm, i dont htink its 1ohmstable.

the 1200.1 is 1 ohm stable.....

what a bunch of retarded responses, not yours blunt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd guess that if just for DD they'd be pretty even, given proper installs. Honestly I havent looked into squares a whole lot though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Anyhow, I'd get the one 15... love single sub setups. No clue why, just do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Edit: the best person to talk to on a Kicker vs kicker setup would easily be polecat. I'm sure he's had plenty of time using all their products.

If you have only 5.0ft^3 your best best would be to build a ported box for the 15" l7, but if you have room to go another 1.5ft^3 I would go for the 2 12" l5 in a ported box because it will be louder and has more area to move more air. The cons of doing the 2 sub setup would be that the box needs to be a little larger and thus the box will be heavier overall.

I say go 1 15" L7 in a 4.5ft^3 or larger ported box tuned to 35hz.. I believe you will be pleased!

If you do go that route, I would tune it a little lower, but that's just me since I love SQ/SQL. The net volume seems about right though.

15"L7 . mine gets pretty loud=)

I'd go with 2 L5 15's, I think they would get louder with the given info.

1st of all, that amp of yours isnt putting out 1200 wrms, and 2nd of all, if you seriously didnt know that a kx1200 is stable at 1 ohm then you probably shouldnt be here...

What if I went with 2 12 inch L7's would this be louder than the single 15 L7

 

[Josh #44 10+ year member]

Yes, they would
