L5 to L7 help please

I'm Currently running 2 L5 12's in a 5.4cube port box tuned to 32hz. I'm wondering what my sound difference will be if i just switch out the L5s for L7s of the same size, would it be worth the speakers or not.

I am running the L5s together at about 1100 watts and would be using the L7s the same way.

Am I looking at lower bass, more sound output, or will it be about the same given the same power and box?

ask polecat but from my experences id only use an l7 if i had more ower than an l5. they can sound alot alike but the l7 can sound a little deeper not much though also depends on the box

I was wondering the same thing the only thing that i noticed was the L7 has like... 3 mm extra Xmax. is that even audible??

if you have the power, use the L7...but if power remains the same, and your not hurting the L5, stay with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
