quote"Oh man. Anyone who even asks whether or not L7s are loud really need to start listening to setups. I have 2 15L7s on a Kicker KX1200.1 parallel wired so they each see 1450 watts. I am telling you... There are setups that are louder but not many, no not many at all. The only things that come close are Strokers, and a few of DD and MMats models. I swear... One of my friends at school wanted to hear it so I blasted it. Not a head within 50 feet was not looking at my car. Needless to say I had to give a few more demos before I could get home. Trust me. Saying that L7s are incredible is an understatement. They not only rock the neighborhood, they rock the neighborhoods foundation. And I have not even broken them in yet. Now if that is not power, I do not know what is. If you are considering purchasing L7s, go for it. You will not be disappointed. And their SQ really is not as bad as some people say. I think it is the new cone material that the 2002 L7s use and that they are actually louder in compact sealed boxes than in a ported box. If anyone does not believe me on that I'll e-mail you the graphs. Incredible sub. 4 stars, 2 thumbs up, 1 deaf person "
