ok i was going to buy 2 12" L7 subs cause i wanted something that was gonna pound my chest...then i found a link on mtx website comparing the 8500 with the L7...and was surprised at what they got...

they were only feeding the kicker with 500 watts...but still how many of u guys belive the mtx is louder and better sounding??? whats makin me really think about changing my decision is the amount of destortion the kicker had (measured by mtx) so with an mtx thunder1501d amp and about 400 to spend on a sub/subs what should i get that sounds good but still gets loud enough to wear i can feel it in my chest??

i was also thinking about maybe just getting 1 12" 9500... would that 1 sub get loud and sound better then 2 l7's?

i want something thats loud but sounds good doing it...cause i hear the kicker isnt very good in the SQ area (at all)

like youre really gonna go off of what the MTX website tells you. sure theyre gonna tell you the 8500 is better than the L7.. arent they the company that tells you that their woofers are better than JLs too? i like how they get customers by saying their products are better than everything else.. thats for the customer to decide.

also, the woofers youre looking at are more SPL oriented and its kinda pointless to run them sealed. look at SQL woofers im sure somebody will give you suggestions. i gotta go though

I am curious about the SPL of the two

The L7's do have poor sound quality, but dont go with MTX //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif . Go with Alpine Type R's or JL subs and I think you will be happy with the sound and quality of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif .
