l7's ****, i had 2 L7's and a single juggernaut with a sundown1500 knocked them clean out of the ballpark

Better yet, keep it and sell it to some local. BAM, made your money back for new box materials. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ac 180=6-7 db more than the term

 

[cocoleveo7686 10+ year member]

well i think the box is a 3.61 cube box, the biggest i can go is 35Wx14Hx22D any recommendations, i would of thought i would hit more db's then that, i mean it sounds real good and loud, but i would of thought they would be louder...is there any 1 12 i can put 2000 rms to and get more then 140 dbs?

Yeah get a 12 inch Mt

A member on here has 1 and is hitting 147 db with 3krms on TL

or Get a Fi BTL

ac 180=6-7 db more than the term

well i dont know how it can be that much different...because the other amp i had when i hit 135 was a ma audio hk897, and the one i have now is hifonics bxi2006d and it slams much much more, way louder then before, and if it was 6-7dbs lower that would mean i hit 134 which doesnt make sense since its so much louder

yea but just because he didnt hit it doesnt mean that i can, i only have 2000 rms to work with...i want to keep the l7's if i can, if i could get up to like 142-144 dbs id be happy, i would of thought they could reach that...maybe its the box i have them in its also in a nissan sentra if that makes a difference too

loudness does not always equal more db's

yuh bein in a trunk car does hurt the score........ put them in a bigger box....like i got my cvx 12s in a 4.5cf ported
get one bout that size if it wont fit in the trunk put it in the back seat.........
