Loud?

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

OK. Hifonics 1505d amp. Two 15" L5's. Big 3 upgrade to 0ga. Optima red top under hood. Toyota Camry. Back seats ripped out. 8-10ft^3 tuned to 30-35 hz right behind front seats.

LOUD? Or not so much?

P.S. I'm bored and my friend shit himself when he heard my MOFO 15 in the 4ft^3 box I built to 32hz. So I decided to sell him the sub/box. Now I have $400 to spend on new subs. I figured 2 L5's would be the loudest setup for what power I'm dealing with.

What are your thoughts?

How did I manage to post this in the wrong section.

Uhgg, Idiot!

No, Jack, I mean do you think the setup will be very loud. Like too loud to withstand for too long. Also, any other subs for the price I posted that beat out the 2 15's in SPL? Not so much SQ, IDC.

L7 maybe..? http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-SOLOBARIC-L7-S12L7-12-CAR-SUB-SUBWOOFER-04-MOD_W0QQitemZ5819521993QQcategoryZ39777QQcmdZViewItem

That's very subjective. Some can't stand to listen to a single 12" setup at full volume, while others aren't placated until they're running dual 15's and kilowatts of power for a DD. All comes down to our listening preferences.

You think 1 L7 will beat out 2 porperly powered L5's? I doubt it.

I meant get the L7's INSTEAD of the L5's

 

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

you really think itll make much of a difference? the l7's will be very underpowered

 

[LuNaTiC 10+ year member]

Wow, I'm glad you brought up the L7's.

Not too much more $$, But they are renewed...

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

If they're re-coned, they're good as new.

Not sure if that's what you meant by "renewed".

Renewed would most likely mean reconed, that means nothing, you will have a great set of subs. My boy has 2 L7 15's and hes the loudest kid in school now.. he sets car alarms like 25ft away from cars, he has them with a visonik 2000w am i forget the model.

by the way your L5s will be a little underpowered as well.

but no the L7s wont make enough of a difference so i wouldnt waste your money.. although if you decide they arent loud enough you could always add another bx1500d to the L7s, where the L5s would be struggling to take that much i think..

BUT on that note.. i wouldnt worry too much about whether or not youre gonna be loud.. sure you are (loud is subjective, but loud enough to do hearing damage i would assume)

L5s are pretty loud little woofs with good power. im sure youll be happy. but the setup being right behind you might make for some weird cancellation or somethin hopefully it doesnt take away from it. id fire the port up maybe? if youre firing the woofs towards you
