Kicker 15L5 Questions

[venom107 10+ year member]

I've decided that I'm going to absolutely upgrade to a kicker 15L5 as long as I can get some questions answered. First off I can build a ported box but only if it slants because the max height for my box is 14inches. I can build a box with a maximum Cu Ft of 4.32 including the 3/4" mdf. I plan on tuning the box to 39Hz. How can I slant the box to where its 4.32 Cu Ft slanted to where the front of the sub faces slightly up. I can go max of:

14inches high

24inches deep

28inches wide

Anybody have any ideas on how I can construct this box to where it will fit in my trunk? Also do you think 600rms is going to be enough to push this 15L5 to xmax? I was thinking that it would considering the box will be so large. I'm not really sure what to do.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Should I go with a 12L7 or a 12L5 instead because the box is going to be so difficult to bulid? Remember I'm going to be running 600watts rms into one sub which is rated at 12.4V so slightly more watts will be put out when my car is running. Anybody own a 15L5?

ive heard l7's and l5's, go L5 unless you got the money. L7 really needs more than 600 to push it, L5 should do fine w/ 600... the 15"s get real loud.. but not w/ 600 watts..

Are you suggesting I just get a single 12L5 then put it in 3.5cube box tuned to 40Hz and be done with it? Easiest way but I really wanted a 15

that will pound. why tuned so high? i this competition?

So are you talking about the 12L5 or the 15L5? I've had just really good luck with tuning around 39Hz. My brothers Rockfords are tuned that high and they really pound. I just want a lot of SPL. As a matter of fact my Type R sitting in my car was just redone by me because the SPL was lacking. I had originally tuned it to 39Hz then to 33Hz. I like the low of the 33 but not enough SPL.

either the 12 or 15 will hit real hard. Whatever u like, go with it...

Do you have an idea on how I can build a 15L5 box with only a 14" max height trunk?

Here is the box I bought for mine! It sounds awesome with a little polyfill in it!
