Beating a dead horse.

I know im prolly beating a dead horse but i have a comapirson i need answered. I have a viper 1200, amp And im debating between a Alpine type R 15, or a 15 inch kicker L7. I like SPL but would like to have a little SQ. Im puting it in a 4Cubic foot sealed box. What sub would be the all around best. Also its in a hatchback.

The L7 should never be sealed, it makes them cry...

A single 15R should be enough for you, and sound nice as hell.

But personally, I would take the L7 and port it, the output will be insane.

what can 12 inch l7's handle daily for wattage, in a 4 ft box tuned to like 37 hz

Solos sound sweet in a sealed box. You just don't need a humungaloid box for them. Have I missed something? When did Alpine Type-r's become the ultimate subwoofer? Is it the dual 2ohm voice coil thing? Just curious. My opinion? Just because the amp can run at 1ohm doesn't really mean it should. I guess if you don't care about damping factor or sound quality, then who gives a shit.

Apparently

Welcome from your cave.

Since the Type R vs SX vs SeXXX thread.

I guess if you don't care about damping factor or sound quality,

A damping factor above 50 (some say 20) is sufficient. Any higher won't make an audible difference. THD, again, will still be in the inaudible range. The subwoofer itself will have more distortion than the amplifier.

Any quality amplifier designed to run 1ohm will do so without any audible loss in "sound quality".

i dunno what every1 is talking about with the L7's in a sealed box. I had 2 12's in a 1 cube sealed box. and it was way louder and sounded 10x better then 1 12 in a 3 cube ported box. the ported box vibrated shit alot more but it didnt sound louder.
