I'm tired of my boomy, muddy kicker solo baric L7 12" x 2. I've heard a few good, clean subs and they've made me change my mind. SPL is out, sound quality is in.
I'm redoing my subs and want the cleanest, flattest response I can get down to a solid 18-20hz. I'm willing to spend around $1,000 for just the sub/s themselves. If I need to port it and bump the low end up to get that low, that's fine too. I just don't want an insane spike at 35-40hz.
So what are my options? I do need it loud, but I don't need it as loud as my current setup (1500 rms). I'd say maybe 1,000 rms is as low as I'd like to go, but if they'r3 at 5,000 rms and still put sound quality first then I'd accept that. They need to fit in a full sized car's trunk. It needs to be smooth and clean.
Any ideas?
