[QUOTE="zane, post: 5707, member: 540617"] The Kickers are good, however- it is not really a challenge to find comprable; if not superior woofers. As mentioned, the JL Audio and Eclipse models, and even as much as I hate to say it- the Audiomobiles too, all can surpass the actual output of the L7. However, at what cost? Take a look at the Adire Audio Tempest (15") $150 for this---> Re 3.50 ohms Le 2.9 mH Qms 6.7 Mms 195 grams Qes 0.40 Cms 0.34 mm/N Qts 0.38 Rms 3.5 N*s/m Fs 18.8 Hz Sd 779 cm^2 Vas 317 liters BL 14.2 Xmax 16.4 mm one way EBP 47 SPL 89.1 dB @ 1W/1m No 0.51% Pmax 400W per voice coil; 750W total to the driver Distortion Quantity Price Each 1 to 3 $150.00 4 to 9 $138.80 10 to 25 $128.50 26 and up Contact factory [URL="http://www.adireaudio.com/cd/tempest.htm"]http://www.adireaudio.com/cd/tempest.htm[/URL] Pay attention to the XMAX rating- 16.4mm [B]ONE WAY!![/B] (I have personally seen this put to posative proof and I must say that this excursion is definately something to witness!) This is a direct plot of Both the JL Audio 15w3 and Adire Audio Tempest- Kicker does not make the L7's Thiele/Small Parameters available on thier site so A comparison incuding it was not able to be made. If anyone has access to these, please let me know and I would be glad to include it directly within this comparison. Here are these two though, as you can see, both subs share similar BL -thus contributing to similar output sensitivity. Meaning that both subs would likely perform well with even a modest amount of power. When you take into consideration the higher XMAX and power handling among other things that both woofers share; it is without a doubt that they can both take plenty of power also.
