L7 vs 8500

[scarysoul 10+ year member]

1) i've seen the topic about the L7 06 being compared with 9500, so does that mean the L7 06 will totally beat the hell out of 8500???

2) what's the xmax of 12" L7 06?

3) have anyone heard about Cerwin Vega? any good?

L7 blow ***. They have weak surrounds and sound like poo.

Cerwin Vega Strokers look like poo but the VMax was alright.

And if you are talking about the MTX 9500 I'd go that route.

The L7s you have heard must not have been installed well. They'll never be confused for SQ subs, but they don't "sound like poo."

Im sure they weren't installed well. Weak surrounds eh???

I've seen a couple and heard of a lot of cases where the corners ot the surround wear and crack despite Kickers attempts to prevent it by ribbing the angles.

Never had a single problem with the surrounds of the l7s ive owned. Those corner problems come from people that dont know how to properly install them. I wouldnt think twice about taking an l7 over a 9500, let alone the 8500.

See, I cant speak to the newest version of the L7 but I have seen more than enough of the previous versions have issues with the surrounds. I used to deal them so thats where that experience comes from. I also wouldnt think twice about taking a 9500 over an L7. Niether one is a SQ sub but IMO the 9500 is a better overall sub in most catagories than the L7

I have owned '02, '03,'04 and '05 model L7's and never had a prob with the surrounds either

L7 have won SQ competitions. It doesn't say MUCH, but says a lil eh?
