Good 15" sub

[PepsiFiend69 10+ year member]

ok, im upgrading my system, im wondering what a good 15" sub would be, i have about $200-250 to spend, but only about 800 watts rms, i was looking at 15" L7's, will they still sound good with only 800 watts going to it? or should i look at L5's? or maybe even something not made by kicker, all though i'd like to get something of that sort, i dont know, what do you think? and what about the refurbished L7's on ebay? i read that if they're refurbished from the factory they should be ok?

Also, i am looking to sell my two 12" MTX 4500's i know they're really low end speakers, but what do you think would be a good price for them?i payed 75 for each of them new, and they're pretty much in brand new conditon, ive only had them for about 3 months, and I've never abused them, and i would also be wlling to sell they box they're in.

just a few thoughts, your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

One 15" Kicker L7 upgrading from those two 12" MTXs will do you good. 800watts rms will be fine for that sub. I own two 15" L7s.

if you can find one, an ascendant audio avalanche 15" would do the trick quite nicely.... http://www.ascendantaudio.com

Yeah an Avalanche would also be a good choice.

On woofersetc.com you can get a 15" RF HX2 1000watt sub for 129.99 on sale

or a 15" RF HE for 69.99 ive heard both these arent too bad for a budget but some of the others suggested may be better....

last week I was able to get 2 15s from ascendant audio.

save up for a type-r 15", best sound for the price in the 15" class IMO from what other 15's i've heard.

Yes that would be the right sub for the job considering you only have 800rms

Get a refurb L7, you won't regret it.

Port it, and they love huge boxes.

Would do a type R 15" ported. They are 750 rms if I am not mistaken.

15R hands down

ok, i think ive narrowed it down to either a type R 15 or Kicker L7 15 thanks for the responses

kicker l7 if u wanna get louder

type-r leans more of the SQ side

i had a kicker l5 15" run at 1ohm (500rms) in a vented box, it gets louder than my 2 12" L7's in a sealed using same amp.
