lol

the reason i said that about kicker.becuz its true

the glue they use to connect the voice coil,cone and spider seperates when pushed somewhat hard...and the glue melts becuz of the heat from the coil and the connecting piece to those three components(cone,coil,spider) come apart...i've seen that happen on countless amounts of L7's...fromt the 8 all the way to the 15...so i seen personally what happens

For that kind of money I would go with 2 RE Audio 12" SE subwoofers. It will save you a lot of money and sound much better and get much louder than both of those subs, but if you MUST stick with those two I would say Rockford, I have worked with them a lot and are reliable and have great spl and sq.
You could get 2 12" RE Audio SX subs for that price, but you will need a clean 2000 watts to puch them, but WOW that would be loud!

PS. GO WITH RE http://www.reaudio.com

He didn't ask about RE subs. He asked about Rockford and Kicker. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/offtopic.gif.470a8b0541c72322a0037f48a8237473.gif

the only way stuff like that happens is you have too much power, or pushing a sub past mechaincal limits...that, is not a manufacture defect.....
anyone can blow a sub, it takes talent to make one last....

I would say Kickers bud...Me and Polecat are fans of the Kickers of course!

But I would recomend never porting the Kickers...Not made for that kind of box. They want to see ported...And at least 3cu ft for each one...So I hope ya got the trunk space!

I think it's beacuse Polecat works for Kicker

Kicker + porting + low tuning = //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/scared.gif.f134e57c6c93ccd0f15aa5ac32c7d4a0.gif

ithe dealer i bought them from told me that he has about 30 sub go back a mouth because of this They stoped selling kicker and pick up memphis as for rockford

sounds pretty inflated....30 subs, if you tell me whom they are, I can get the whole story....

I remember the very very very first L7's (black ones i think) had issues many year ago (what was it 2001..maybe 2002 Tracy???)

But none the less - Known problems have been fixed...and if you give the sub the rated power that Kicker suggests you should not have problems. Of course there are always people out there that play volume master and either kill the coil or shred the spider in half //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...due to some dirty clipped power...

To the original poster - Both companys make a product for the market that they are intended for. I suggest that you listen to both, because ulitmately you've gotta live with it..and listen to it..every day...we don't! Whatever best suits your ears, purchase...
