[QUOTE="mattldm, post: 5349597, member: 567995"] My currentl sub is an Arc Audio Arc12 D2 wired to 1 ohm in a sealed box (1.22ft^3) running off a Sundown 1000D (1000+ watts). I have been using this sub for several months now and I am not really happy with the bass. This setup has no real "Kick" to the bass... I recently borrowed my friends Kicker L7 D4 in a sealed box about 1 cube, wired to 2 ohm. This sub, even with only around 600 watts from the sundown kicks WAY harder than the Arc sub. I did have to adjust the gain up slightly, but I have not made any other changes to the EQ or crossovers. I really notice the kicker having a lot more punchy tight bass than the Arc. the arc actually seems kinda boomy i guess compared to the L7... The Arc sub sounds really good with low end extension, it just doesnt have the sharp punch of the L7 I'm really leaning towards replacing the Arc with something with more punch. What other subs are out there that are equal to the Kicker but might be less expensive!? [/QUOTE]
