Whats just as loud as L7 but better SQ?

[ken72988 10+ year member]

I used to have 2 12" kicker L7's in a vented box in my cavalier.. I sold them and now i want 2 12"s that are just as loud but with good SQ.. no im not getting cvx's... what ever i get they will go in an other vented enclosure and will be getting their between thier rms and max wattage at 1ohm (same as i gave the kickers).. I was thinkin maybe soundstream T-5's.. any suggestions that are in that price range or less..

How many watts do you have on hand?

How much power and room for a box are available

im waitain to get 2 subs first then ill get an amp that will give them between thier rms and max wattage, at 1 ohm... same deal witht the box.. w/e the cu ft is ill get a vented box that will match for the subs, just like it did with the l7's

If you dont have the amp yet, or the subs, why are you dead set on 1 ohm?

 

[ken72988 10+ year member]

Cause i wanna do a 1 ohm set up thats all and im gonna get an amp for that, this has nothing to do with the question lol forget about what amp setup im gona do that not what im worried about.. assume w/e subs i get will be given thier rms wattage just like my old l7's( same settup idea).. just different subs.. I just wanna kno what other two 12" would be just as loud but better sounding, and same price range thx

and yes i will get the sub coil option that will work with a 1ohm setup

What is your reasoning that 1ohm is what you want? not trying to bust your balls, but if you dont have either the sub(s) or the amp yet, limiting your self to one impedance only limits your choices. There is no performance difference inherant to 1ohm, or any other impedance.

Again nnot trying to be a pain, just trying to help you understand you dont need 1ohm for any particular reason.

aha its cool , alright then besides the ohm deal( if i make it a 1 or 2 ohm setup or w/e subs i get 2 or 4coil)... so anyway about what 2 new subs to get in general

you say you don't have the amp yet but do you have any upgrades on your electrical system

also how much do you want to spend?

 

[ken72988 10+ year member]

no my electical setup is fine for the system i had and what im lookin for.. cause im not gonna get anything that NEEDS more than 1500 watts. but besides that... I dont wanna spend anymore then what i spent on 2 L7's.. so im lookin for somthing in that price range ($350) or less, for two 12" subs, that are about just as loud but better sounding.. possibly soundstream T5?

buy bonesninjas re sx 10's

i think he'll let em go for around $300

 

[ken72988 10+ year member]

tru, i forgot about RE... do u think the se or sx can be loud or louder as L7.. i kno they sound better

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

i think those sx's will get pretty **** loud

they are rated at 1000 rms each

pm bonesninja he can tell u from experience

i slapped my 2 tens SX's in ported box at 30 htz on my incriminator at 0.5 ohms and they were louder than my dude's 12'' L7's on a 2000watts hifonics...his box tuned to 40 htz
