L7 - need HELP

[Buick3800power 10+ year member]

I'm ordering my first L7 on Monday night. I'm getting the dual-2ohm 12" Version. I have a few questions, that I hope a few of you can answer for me.

I only have about $175 for an amp....here is what I've been looking at.....

Also, I want to maximize the L7's SQ capabilities...what size box should I get? Ported or sealed? How big? What should it be tuned to?

And are L7's as good as everyone hypes them up to be? I've never heard one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

That amp is okay. If I were you, I'd buy sub_urban's Hifonics BX1000D. He's selling it for $135, which you can't beat. I have an L7, and its definately not a SQ woofer. They sound alright, but loud is their main goal. I'd definately port it. They'll do sealed boxes okay, but I'd definately put it in a ported box. It loves ported boxes. I love mine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What size ported box.....and tuned to.....?

L7's like big ported boxes. 3 cf tuned to 34hz would bring it to life //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So they would eat my two JL W1's alive then basically?

When I say I want "sq", I don't mean precision bass notes, I just don't want unorganized sloppy *** bass that sounds like shit.

what size W1's? I have a 15" L7 and it's nasty loud. it was louder than my 3 10" CVR's. It's not sloppy, but it's definately not the tightest sub I've ever heard.

I had two 12" W1's, in a 1.75 ported box (per chamber) tuned to about 30 hz.

I cant say for sure

I'd think they would.....I had 200 watts going to each sub.....

With the L7 I will have it in a big box, with roughly 1200 watts RMS going to it.....should be loud as shit.
