Confused...Help me pick out a pair of subs

[Raisedin305 5,000+ posts]

OK here is the thing. Most of you know that I blew my amplifier a while back. I decided to sell every thing and start from scratch. I used to own two 15" Kicker L7s and it was powered by an Orion 2500. It was loud but not loud enough for me im looking for some thing louder. I was thinking about giving the new L7s a try and going with Four 15" L7s off two Orion 2500s or four 18" SX. Im not sure what to do. Then again there are Kicker's 12" Solo Xs...would run two of those off either two KX2500.1s or Two Orion 2500s. Could you guys please help me out here! Im going crazy trying to decide what to do!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Kind of off topic, but exactly what is the difference between last years L7's and the newer ones?

I want to keep the subs under $1,500 and same with the amps. I plan on upgrading the alternator (not sure what size to get yet), adding a kinetik battery or two, and doing the Big 3.

If this is a daily driver you are nuts...

But I would go with a pair of Solo X's, they should get loud enough for you.

Redisgned. Last years were silver and blue this years are black and grey. They are much stronger.

This will be both my competition system and daily driver. I will either do a port plug or make two boxes.

Kind of a personl question, but where the hell do you get that kind of cash at 16 years old?

How could 2 15" l7s not be enough daily? Sure ya had a good install? I just dont see how someone could listen to 4 15" l7s or 4 18" sx daily...and not be deaf in like 3 4 years //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Yep it got loud. I had it in a custom box (CRX 4.1 cubic ft per chamber tuned @35hz). 150.6 on the AC.

Not sure though how much a new SX 18" is going for now...and I don't think RE plans to have another group buy.

You are 16 and you have this kinda of cash to do something like this? Do your parents just give you money or something? WOW!

I would do the solo's off the 2 2500's. Would be insane and if that isnt loud enough then GTFO!
