Note that this is from a SQ standpoint, the round solos had much less distortion and better SQ than the L7s, SPL wise, yes the new square designs hit harder. Those older subs were designed strictly for small sealed box applications, and as with any small sealed designed sub, they are VERY temperamental to box volume, so if you did a crappy install and used a prefab or just a poorly designed box, yes bad results would be had, both from a SQ and reliability standpoint. The only thing the square solos are really all that "good" for is SPL, so I'd assume that's what you're referring to in the first place. |
