L7 15 will if it's the 3 inch coil I think it is. Must be clean at all times.

Somehow I doubt that. Kicker coils are weak, overheat easy. Don't want to go off topic though.

Had the CVX12-4 - Kicker Comp VX 12" 1500 Watt Dual 4 Ohm...if they dont I had no idea thats just what I thought which is why im here, and two mono hifonics amps, it was very loud, just wanted better sound quality

If you care about SQ go with a JL slash or HD series amp. Won't matter how good your subs are if your amps lack SQ.

Stay away from hifonics, they will get you bumping but the sound quality is not good. Kicker is usually not associated with sound quality either. You will want a good amp a soundqubed 2200.1, crescendo bc 2000, dc audio 2k, etc... you will want decent SQL subwoofers that get loud and sound good. Id recommend a pair of SSA Gcon 12s. What makes or breaks a subwoofer is the enclosure its in. You buy a cheap amazon/ebay/premade box, its gonna sound garbage regardless of how good your gear is.

For your vocal issues, your door speakers just ****. You need better door speakers and a 4 channel amp to power them along with acoustical door treatments/sound deadening. You will want a good set of components along with a decent 4 channel amp.

Things heatingnis from your electrical system being too weak to handle audio. Dont think you can throw all that stuff on your car and get away with it. You will cause a fire and destroy your gear because of that carelessness. Anything over 1500 watts will need a good AGM battery like xs power/northstar/odyessey battery along with "the big 3 upgrade" google that up. However if your vehicles stock, alternator is weak you will need to have a high output alternator too if your system cannot handle all of that even after battery and big 3.

What about Helix, Brax, mosconi, audison, TRU, ZED?

Any suggestions for speakers?

Need full budget. Again you need acoustical door treatments and a 4 channel amp along with adequate sized wire iin your budget too.

Too expensive.

TRU yes but the rest are about the same.

I was in between JL and DD amps and for a few months. Always used slash amps but only HDs would fit. I went DD. Power and foot print is better. To my ears they sound better also. Not slash amp good but better than the HDs.

Obviously there is much more to this than I thought, budget for amp or amps with all new speakers 2 subwoofer decent enclosure and wiring is aboit 5k, I habe a head unit I like and this doesnt include installation or an extra battery I may need

So lets switch up this discussion a bit, if any of you were going to spend 5k on equipment, excluding installation and wiring,(although I do need help getting it right) what would you choose? Head unit(although I have one suggestions would be nice currently have a pioneer avh5600bhs) subwoofers, amp(s),type of enclosure and where to find it, and all around speakers..acoustics will come later also, im speaking specifically about what I listed

I will agree the slashes sound better than the HD's. I've heard a few DD amps and maybe I'm just spoiled by the slash amps but I wasn't all that impressed with the DD SQ, but they were also prefab boxes so I can't say I don't like DD with 100% certainty. I do like the way their components sounded.
