I think that has more to do with the enclosure, eq settings, power, cabin gain frequency, etc more than just sub vs sub

The ZV6 and L7 are wildly different subs. The Zv6 can handle 2500 watts rms, or more. The L7 is 750 rms. The ZV6 has the potential to get louder if the enclosure, power and install is solid.

They're classified as a wmd by nato now...it's a possible war crime to actually put power to one

Comparing Zv6 to L7's is obvious to anyone willing to open a new tab online and read. Obviously the Sundown is superior if massive spl down low is your goal. The L7 is very versatile and works great on lower power. The extra cone area is why kicker nuthuggers always start up. It's an advantage yes... But against a well setup Zv6?

Biden wanted to send one to the Uranium people. His own party berated him for even contemplating it.

It's definitely a strange discussion, but I reckon if you were limited to a 500W amp I could make an L7 louder than the NSV6 even if we equalized for cone area. Everything we do to gain power handling comes at the expense of efficiency and at low power your efficiency gains for low power soft suspension and lower moving mass would all be in your favor using 600-700W rated Kicker, JL, Alpine, or similar tier. For what its worth I've seen plenty of kicker subs doing respectable numbers for the power on them at shows over the years.
