Sweet jesus, everyone likes those subs.

Anyway, I don't know much about subs, but here it goes.

The Kicker will probably pound harder than the Type R, if it's given the correct wattage. There's not one that's necessarily better, it's mainly based on personal preference. I'd probly go with the L7's. Oh, and make sure that you ignore peak, for amp and subs, because from what I've heard it's mainly a marketing ploy to make it seem like the sub can handle more wattage. I'd say get an amp that does around 800 watts for the kicker, and something around 650-700 for the Type R because it can take much more RMS power than what it's rated at.

The difference between a dual 2 ohm and a dual 4 ohm voice coil is this -

A dual 2 ohm allows you to wire the sub 3 ways - you can have it wired so the amp sees a 1 ohm load or a 4 ohm load, depending on whether you wire it in series or parallel. I forget which does which. Or you can wire each voice coil to a channel on an amp, but not many people do that as far as I know.

With the 4 ohm, you can make it so the amp sees a 2 ohm or an 8 ohm load, or 2 4 ohm loads by wiring it in the same way as what I said for the 2 ohm.

Oh, and having a dual 2 or 4 ohm coil doesn't make a sub better than another one, it just means that you can wire it different ways.

1 ohm will get the most power from an amp that is stable at that wattage, 2 ohms will get less, 4 will get less than 2, and 8 will get less than 4. Just look at some spec sheets for amps and you'll see what I mean.

hopefully all of that is correct

 
thanx dat wuz really helpful.....i still dont get ohm's but ima do wut u told me and look at some amps.....i still havent even looked up n e amps so can some point me in the right direction??? wuts a good amp 4 2 12" l7

 
kicker is by far a better sub than alpine will ever be and not to mention the L7, it is kickers beast sub except for the 18' solo x
yea ive seen da solo x at an auto show......their ****in nice.....but yea i guess l7s r the best choice 4 me.....da homie had 2 L5s in his car n dey hit hard dats y ive been wantin some kickers 4 my car

 
for what u pay 4 those l7's u can get much better subs

as for the ohms

basically all it means to u is how well u can match it to ur amp

subs that can be wired to 1 ohm is the best for most amps as they put out the most power at 1 ohm

get dual 4 ohm subs

 
what do u thinnk u will be paying for the l7's
i might get em 4rm da net (pricegrabber)......4 220 each.....but dats only if im 2 lazy 2 go 2 downtown LA and look 4 some their......da homie dat has da 2 L5s got em 4 150 or 200 wit da box and brand new....ima call em up and c how much he can get L7s 4

 
In my experience, directly swapping 2 12" L7's with 2 12" R's, off a KX1200.1, the R's were much louder.
Both were in prefabs.
dats wut some ppl said on some website.....da problem is dat i dont kno n e 1 who has those so i cant hear em first hand
