i'd buy the refurb. cheaper and works just as good. remember that refurbs go through a lot of checks (probably more checks than new stuff) through the company and then sent out to dealers.

both of my amps are refurbs and my sub is a refurb as well and they work great and the sub sounds awesome.

the new one....not all refurbs are good even some of the ones from the factory...remember "you get what you pay for".....

I bought a refurb 15" L7 off of ebay for $193... Worked fine for almost 3 months, and then the tinsel lead snapped..The warranty had just a day left.. Right now its at Kicker.. Hopefully I can get it back before too long.

I would buy it new from an authorized Kicker dealer. That way you get a 1 year warranty on it.

most of the kicker l7 you see on ebay are refurbs because every one puts them in the wrong size box. they are very touchy when it comes to the right box. if everything is the spec it should be you will be completely fine. x2 on passing a test before leaving factory for resale on a refurb !!!!!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

That is very true about the box. I beleive the only thing kicker reuses on the refurb is the motor but I could be wrong

what size sealed box do you all think a 15 l7 should be in?

Well I sent my refurb off to Kicker last Tuesday.. They got it Thursday.. I came home from hunting this evening and saw a large package by my doorstep.. Another 15" L7!! They just sent me another refurbished in exchange for my broken one.. I was expecting at least a months wait.. Ended up only waiting 8 days!

they'll learn that when there refurbs die for no reason...other than for being a refurb

i tend to avoid refurbs. sort of like buying used cars...if its salvaged, i dont care what happened to it, i would look down on it. even if it was repaired by the car manufactuer...still never know what could possibily happen.
