Bronze Member Username: HgihkcinLincoln, NE Post Number: 57 Registered: Sep-05 | l7(kicker does not have specs for l7 so i used the 12" solo x)= 68.9*46 = 3169.4 W7= 54.2*58 = 3143.6 (method above is [surface area in mm squared] times [ maxium excursion both ways in mm] equals [voume displacement in mm cubed]) The W7 displaces almost the same amount of air as the solo x 12" so i'm assuming that the L7 has less excursion so the L7 displaces less air making it less loud. For wattage, the W7 and L7 are the same so the l7 probably is ever so slightly clearer cuss its pushing less air at 750 watts |

|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 908 Registered: Jul-06 | Alright I exaggerated that a bit,3 L7's for the price of 1 W7. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alexv305Tavernier, FL USA Post Number: 569 Registered: Oct-05 | rob i think you over exaggerated...155dBs on one W7? no way!! Pete from www.teamtoxicbass.com had a wall of 13W7s and barely hit 155dBs so come on man gimme a break...rofl |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3619 Registered: Sep-04 | yeah the only way a HO box and W7 are going to hit 155 is in the port. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alexv305Tavernier, FL USA Post Number: 573 Registered: Oct-05 | alot of people dont realize sometimes the port ISNT the loudest location for SPL.. my car was louder at the dash than in front of the port... maybe inside the port would change that up? |

Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 140 Registered: Mar-06 | to show you what a w7 can do in a HO box, just look at the design of the HO boxes, its incredibly complex...and id take the w7 |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3624 Registered: Sep-04 | i'm not bashing the HO box.... but a 155 legal score just isnt reasonable.... hitting 155 with a 13w7 and its rms is a very hard task with a one note wonder box i bet. |
