What kicker subs are the best bang for your buck?

New member Username: NkknutsonPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-06 | Hi i just have been looking at getting a new system for a toyota highlander and i'm getting lost. I know i want to get kicker subs but i have a few questions i need answered. First what kicker sub do i pick L7, CVX, L5 and do i need one or two? Is one L7 better than two L5s. I know that L7 is the best but do i need that much? i want 12". Than will i lose any sound/bass if i don't use the kicker box and buy another box made for the square subs? Another problem i'm having is if i get two subs the amp to run them is expensive? so does it matter if i get a 4ohms or 2ohms subs? do they make different ohms subs or is that just how are wired in the box? I'm going to wire it for series/parallel and my amp will be able to run at 2ohms. so if i buy 2 subs at 4ohms they are dual voice. how do you wire them to get them at a 2ohms? thanks for any help |

Silver Member Username: LoudonPost Number: 692 Registered: Jun-04 | dustin is right ... the new l7s have a better sounding response then years previous low hitting frequencies tend to make the woofer shine more ... the woofer is a very good budget spl woofer, and the sq isnt horrible, there are alottttt of subs that sound worse and are around the same price range ... in the correct enclosure powered properly ... its unbeatable |

New member Username: NkknutsonPost Number: 7 Registered: Dec-06 | Ok the Q and the SSD both sound good but but do i need only one Q? If i got the ssd should i get two of them. and does it really matter what size i mainly listen to rap so i heard a 12" does good with that kind of music. thnaks for all the help. |
