[QUOTE="Jax8287, post: 490764, member: 555837"] Ok guys, i have been to hell and back with these subs, i originally owned 2 kicker solo baric L7's with two Kicker 600.1 mono amps powering each. One day when i was driving i smelt a funny burning smell, i popped my trunk and found out it was my subs. So i took my subs in to a local store and told them what i has witnessed. They really didnt want anything to do with it becuase of the fact that i bought all my stuff online. The L7's voice coils burnt and i had to replace them. I bought a new set of L7's (12'' by the way) at the store, and got a warr. I had a small dual sealed box that was built to Kickers lowest specs.
