Kicker L5 vs. Rockford HX2

[KayGee 10+ year member]

I am deciding between both of these subs. I will either get the Kicker S12L5, or the 12" Rockford Punch HX2. I am going to get two, they will be 12", I will put them in a sealed enclosure, and I will run them off a JBL 1200.1. Which pair of subs will give me the most SPL, hard hitting, loud bass, but also maintain good SQ. And also, what size sealed box should I put them in to get a loy of SPL but also have some SQ? Thanks

if u want my opinion, (which is worthless to a lot of people) id say kicker. i am allways hearing of rockfords falling apart a lot faster than kicker, in my opinion kicker just makes em better quality. and l5's are good too.

yea my hx2's also pound there ass off, but ive never heard any L5's so i cant really say which would be louder. As far as them fallin apart, my hx2's are being overpowered a little bit by tha jbl but sound to me like they could take more.

well 4 12's of anything from just about any company will pound like hizzel if u install em right, i just think the kickers will last longer. and just depends. if ur goin 4 spl go l5, sq proly rockford cuz the l5s are an spl sub.

my friend had 4 12" kenwood tornadoes. And it sounded like a big poo bomb going off.

and my 2 12" diamonds w/ only a 350 watt amp @ the time were louder.

mwuahaha, thats what he gets for buying kenwood. and like i said they have to bee installed right, thos 4 speakers have potential.
