[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7616050, member: 631325"] A 12 isn't going to be any louder or lower than a 10. That will be determined by the box they're installed in. And if you get a properly designed and built ported box, you're going to see a whole 'nother world of output. As for the subwoofer selection, I would consider both mediocre and a waste of money. though the only thing wrong with the L7 was you, and your settings. Bass boost should always be set to 0, and gain should always be set with a DMM. Assuming you're trying to get the best driver you can for your application, while spending as little as possible, I'll recommend a few that will be sure to surpass those Kickers.
