Lol at ignorance. Depends on what you want it for. An L7 is more SPL, and will be way sloppier than the w6. The w6 will be almost as loud, but way more Sq-oriented. Having had both a 15" L7 and 3 10" w6's at the same time that I switched between, I'd go with the w6's all day.

Since when was an L7 an SPL sub!? I lol'd at your ignorance. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

EDIT: You cant compare 1 15" L7 to 3 10" w6's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Of course it's gonna sound different genius. EVERYTHING depends on the install.

Get the Sundown Z15, ridiculous price going on right now...I would if I was in the market.

Your whole "w6 or l7" comment is kinda weird, since those are two totally different subs...what are your goals? Just to be loud, or do you actually care about SQ enough to go with a prominent SQ sub like the w6v2?

Hope you're being funny... it is not an all out SPL sub. it's just a sub that gets loud and lacks in SQ for most applications. It can still have some decent SQ if the install is good. Def shouldn't be compare to a w6 tho.

Let me put it this way, people don't buy L7's in order to have a smooth, articulate sub that blends well with their front stage. I'd also bet that they have won more spl trophies than sq ones. What do you mean by "all out spl sub?" What fits that in your opinion? I'd put the L7 in the same application classification as a btl, dd9500, hdc, etc...just lower power handling.

And IMO any sub can have decent sq if put in the right box...doesn't mean that's what's "best" for the sub, or what it was designed for.

IMO, an all out SPL sub is a sub that can handle 10k-20k watt burps. Just a single sub, ex are, the T3 TSNS, Solo X 18", Soundstream xxx, etc. I dont categorize an L7 as an SPL sub. Of course using multiple subs in an application constitutes the setup to be more SPL driven. But you know as well as I do that in the right box and tuning, any sub can sound loud and have good SQ. Most ppl who run kicker L7's are newbies, and they do it all wrong, then post their setup all over youtube for other newbies to see, and the cycle continues. I dont like the L7 series, but I do know that they get loud and would be louder than the w6.

OP, if you crave a system that beats hard, then grab the L7. Personally I wouldnt recomend it, but to each his own I always say. Or if you love bass with a smooth response and great SQ, then go with the w6. But you should do more research, for there are other subs out there than can give you both. They're in a made up category as in "SQL".

EDIT: Didnt see that in there! Lol

Hey ryan, this is off topic but do you also design wall's as well? Thinkin of going with a wall, not real sure yet....

I would go with a different brand like IA or AQ....not Kicker or JL.

You're dumber than a box of ******. Just STFU and move along. I was comparing 1 15 to 3 10's because 1)he didn't specify what number of each he was thinking about using and that was my experience and 2)the handle copmaratively the same amount of power. So take you and your nasty, fat assed avitar pic and go home.
