In the Seville? You are going to have to fire fwd & try to seal off from cabin.

Other then that, ummm, it isnt horribly hard to break 140 TL. In my experience at least.

when i get my system metered i'll let you know. (check sig) my box is more of an sql box. it's pretty loud and with an spl designed box with more sound deadening then what i have, i think it's very doable.

i got 2 12" L7s right now and i can almost garauntee im doing 140(havent got metered yet) im thinking about buying a 13w7..what u think?

Those l7's will outperform in a 1/2 assed install.

You are only feeding that pair 1200rms?

Have you run your in box impedance? Do you know how bad the tuning peak is?

....wait, have you made a run on the TL yet? Those two should easily break 140.

13W7 is going to **** balls on the mic... 140 should be easy, i was doing it witha single 15" in my trunked car.

L5 should do it, wont be the loudest woofer possible. but as we all know, its all install...

2 12"s and ur having a hard time reaching 140? WTF? Man in a ported box they should hit over 155 maybe even 160

LMAO...

youve never been on a good meter, have you... its possible with the right box, but there arent a great deal of people with the knowledge to take 2 12"s to 160.

ONE Stroker 18" with 2kw put up 144.x TL legal in my truck.

140 is not much of a challenge IMO.

well it's harder to do it with 1 sub instead of 2 i guess. i'm not even trying to hit high marks but i got to be somewhere in the 130's atleast with mine so he should be able to pull this off quite easily.
