8" L7's?

[bjfish11 5,000+ posts]

A kid I know brought his truck to me to see if I could get a pair of 12" kenwoods to fit under the back seat of his 97 F-150. No way in hell, I even pulled out a pair of old school 10" Kickers, they werent going to fit under there either. So I brought up maybe getting some 8's. BUT, the bad part, I've never personally hear ANY 8's. So what I'm asking, is, if he gets a pair of 8" l7's, and we port them, will they get decently loud. We will be feeding them in the neighborhood of 1000 Watts RMS. Which will be 400 more W. RMS then he would be feeding the pair of Kenwoods, in a sealed box. Could the Kicker 8's compete with the 12" Kenwoods?

Need some amp suggestions, looking for around 1000 RMS, would like decent amp.

L7's kick

Theyre built like a size above because theyre square

for instance a 12 inch L7, has the same surface area as a 15 inch round sub, and a 15 inch L7 has the same as a 18 inch round, you see where this is going

mmmm.. kinda..

not quite when you compare most numbers but the cone area advantage is pretty big. im sure that helps the L7 8 out a lot...

im just being agrumentative but yeah i agree L7 8s for teh win.

I'm planning on putting a pair of 8L7's in my daily driver. Great subs. Yeah...they'll spank the kenwoods. My pair of 10's beat 16 twelve inche subs from another vehicle. Just give it a good box.
