[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8746652, member: 591582"] Peak power is largely a bogus rating, it really doesn't mean anything. Kickers really shine in big boxes. You put those subs in a 5-6 cubic foot or so net box, they'll be way louder. I'd be willing to bet that box airspace is only like 2 cubes or less per woofer, probably closer to the minimal airspace. Not sure though. Kicker's typically don't need a ton of port area, and typically really do better with a lot of airspace. Those square Kickers act more like a 13.5" woofer, or a small box 15" round woofer, as far as cone area goes. The L7 15's are almost or close to the cone area of a round 18. I've done so many L5 and L7 12's in 2.5-3 cubes per woofer, and they get very very loud. So, you don't necessarily need more power, maybe you need a bigger box so the subs can actually move around more, like they're designed to. [/QUOTE]
