Two 12" Alpine SWR-142D's in a TCAB Box vs Two 12" 06 Kicker L7's

[Phreaker 10+ year member]

Right,well I can't decide between two 12" Alpine Type R 4 ohm DVC subs in a TCAB box or two 12" 2006 Kicker L7's in a TCAB box.

I am more SPL orientated and ths will be for daily driving.

Either setup would be powered by a Lanzar OPTI-2000D wired to 1 ohm for 1692w RMS (850w per L7 or Typer R).

Which would get louder,hit lower and deeper?

Would I be happier with the Type R's or the 06 Kicker L7's?

save the money ($300) that you will spend on a tcab and put it towards. elec. upgrade, more power, better subs, etc. build your own box and use the money else where.

Alrighty then.....

How bout the two compared to eachother in ported boxes with each of the manufacturers specs?

spl? probaly the l7s. but either one will be plenty loud enough.

Can the Alpine SWR-1242D's take 850w RMS each safely?

Would I be able to tell a major difference in SPL between the two?

I'd do the l7's, Do 5 cubes @ 37 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif, you'll be happy, and get Dual 2ohm subs, so you can wired them down to .5ohm and get 2000 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

type r can take over 1000 watts daily. don't know man its really in the install. just get the cheaper of the 2 and be on your way.

I'm just asking because I have heard people say that the Type R's were great and all but after about 2 months they wanted louder and deeper.

im in the same boat. but i'd be running 4 '05 12L7's, or 4 '05 swr-1242's

i cant decide what ill be running. but it will be thrown onto my 2500d. any input to which will be louder.

im also planning on using 4 6" ports, 1 per sub.

 

[knotslck 10+ year member]

never used the type rs. but i know they get loud but i'm pretty sure you would be the most happy with the l7s if all you are looking for it spl.

L7's get louder over type R's any day....

 

[knotslck 10+ year member]

L7's get louder over type R's any day....

yep.

 

[hoodkid 10+ year member]

and a 12in type R handling 1000 watts daily i doubt that ...

im gettin rid of my w7 for a pair of 05 12L7's so i can be on my way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif w00t for L7's!

 

[hoodkid 10+ year member]

why would you want to ditch a w7 for 2 l7's?
