caulk? thats for people that cant cut strait cuts. go for the L7, i here its much better than the L5.

IIRC, kicker recommends around 2.25 ft^3 net for a ported box per driver for the 12" L5s... i would tune to the mid 30s (32~38hz) for some retardedly loud ethnic music //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
