[QUOTE="mutt_hollon, post: 2150401, member: 570514"] This isn't necessarily true. I know for a fact that you can take one of those solo barics and put it in a 2.5 cu ft box plus port which comes out to 2.82 cu ft and it will be louder than the 2 sealed. More doesn't always mean better. I would say build a ported box for 1. You will have more room in the back to mount your other equipment and be louder than the 2 sealed. I got a 142 out of a single l7 in a extended cab sonoma compared to a 142 out of 2 l7 in a hatchback camero. Ported is MUCH louder. I would have to agree with him. i have 1 12" L7 in a 2.75 cube ported box (with out port) pussing 800 RMS in a s-10 ZR-2 extended cab. i and hitting around 130 with a single 12" L7. IMO L7's need room to breath and enough power to feed them. I was thinking about getting another one before i hooked mine up but when i heard it i was like WOW!!! L7's can bang, i would stick with trying to build a box for 1 of your L5's and see the difference and then decide if you want the L7. i have never heard an L5 so i cant say if one is better than the other but i know mine hits hard [/QUOTE]
