The L7 is gonna be better of course cause it handles more power, SQ wise they are the same, only diff is the power capabilities.

so if i was to get the l7 and not run enough power to it what are the chances i would blow them? Thanks

depends on what you mean by not enough power. if you are runnig 150+ per sub you should be fine, i have two L5's running off a tsunami1100d if that gives you an idea of what L5's can handle.

ok heres something for you u cant just run 150 watts to one cause its not gonna sound good. The more you get to the specified limits of an L5 or L7 the louder it will be (of course) and the better SQ u will get out of it. You would never blow it only if you put way way too much in it. L7's are heavy as **** and they are built like a rock dont even worry about blowing it cause it aint happenen.

Underpowering CANNOT hurt a sub!
