Cone area of 9 15inch l7's

[IAD-Zak 10+ year member]

iadzack i was just proving i was right to you since you told me i was wrong
op i answered his question and gave some advice on the subs. but if he cant figure out cone area i reay hope he has money to just pay someone to do an install lol

you are wrong. what sub cone area doesw the basket count for? go measure an l7 and lmk

Hole cutout is 13.75". That should be very close to the same size as the cone. So.....

13.75 x 13.75 x 9 = 1701.56 sq/in.

iadzack- then if you are measuring it that way a 15 is not 176, so either way you are still wrong

Yeah, well meca is wrong. They are going by outer basket sizes. The cone can be anywhere from 1/2" to 1" smaller around the edge.

im right your wrong /end thread lol

this^^^

 

[stl_314 10+ year member]

iadzack- you were wrong in every aspect as you said the l7 was 190ish, which isnt even 25% more then 176

then you said 15's- are 176

then you said square 15's are not 225 because you have to take out for basket

you are just all around confused

 

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

im right your wrong /end thread lol

Actually I be right......OP asked for "CONE AREA of 9 15" L7's"....Not BASKET AREA.....

 

[stl_314 10+ year member]

i know i was joking if you couldnt tell on that part

everything else i was serious about

I used to have a bunch of Kicker square subs but they're all 12s. Decent stuff, the Solo-X got loud as f*ck, don't knock it til you try it.

The full parameter is not listed in their manual so why not just call Kicker and ask?

 

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

Eh.....the L7's only have like 0.6" of excursion.......not exactly burp monsters. Heck...I've seen mids with more excursion.

Now the SoloX's are a different animal altogether than the L7's. Much better sub and quality.....hence why they cost so much more.

I beat the hell outta my L5 and L7, the coil will take the power (I gave mine 1100 watts RMS) but it's the tinsel leads that falls short (they rip apart). I got my L5 and L7s to move about 2 inches before it started complaining. The L5 got REALLY loud for a few minutes before the tinsel leads told me to F off. The newest model (the black one with the white S in the middle) have revised tinsel leads and among other things so they don't rip, but I only gave the new one 500 watts because I sold my amp and had either the 500 watter or a 3000 watter.

I gave an old-school Kicker Comp about 1600 watts RMS in my old home theater, it bottomed out and everything but it survived the abuse for a good 2 years before it developed a coil rub.
