Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 330 Registered: May-07 | my suggestions: get 2 subs each with dual 4 ohm voice coils. 1)Audioque AQ1200d-- $250+shipping 2)Memphis PR1000.1D-- Iget em for $250 locally With the AQ1200 U will likely need to back off the gain a lil. as that amp is underrated the type r's can and will handle more power than they are rated for even for daily use! as for the memphis pr1000... I own 4 of them and have NEVER had a single problem with a single one. They are very strong as well. both amps are 1 ohm stable. KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE AN ENCLOSURE MADE TO SPECS FOR THOSE SUBS TO GET THE BEST SOUND.I hope this helps. p.s. |

Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 332 Registered: May-07 | the AQ1200D would EASILY be my 1st choice. www.audioque.com "also what do you mean by "dual 4ohm voice coils"?" awww dude..  Where to start.. The subs are are refering to are "dual Voice coils" as well as most subs. Each sub will have 2 pos (+) and 2 Neg. (-) speakerwire connections..The subs you are refering to can be bought with 2 0r 4 ohm voice coils. For the amps that we recomended you would need to order the 4 ohm V.C. You would wire them in parallel all the way to the amp to achieve a 1 ohm load to get maximum power for the amp. ohm = resistance Need more info google any of the terms and you will get plenty if info. good luck |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9267 Registered: Jun-04 | I did have the audioque 1200.1 internal pic up but I decided to delete my original post because the amp I found from memphis wasnt the Memphis PR1000.1D so I figured it wouldnt be fair to post the memphis internal pic against it when it was the 1500 watt version...bottom line 1000 watts rms to 1200 watts rms pretty much explains which amp is better for about the same money |

Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 333 Registered: May-07 | do not get the L7's the 2- 12" tpye r's will get louder than the 10" L7's and def sound better.. |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202RE MT 15 VFL 200.1 , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1723 Registered: Nov-06 | in that case i think you should go with the audioque since your alternator can handle it you should get the new L7 12's over the type r though, louder and sound better |
|
Silver Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 970 Registered: Aug-07 | L7's sound better than a type-r...i dont believe it. all the L7s ive heard just get loud and sound like complete crap. type-rs however, always get loud and have pretty decent SQ |
|
Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 334 Registered: May-07 | i own 2 L5's, I have owneded 2-L7's I also have 2- Solo x's. I havn't heard the "newest" L7's, but by the track record I would say that the 2-12" type r's would sound a lot better than 2-10" L7's. JMHO |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 7553 Registered: Jul-06 | Agreed I have NEVER heard an L7 sound good. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike11202RE MT 15 VFL 200.1 , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1724 Registered: Nov-06 | I guess when an L7 won an SQ competition it didnt sound good either  Give me a break you guys hear L7's in NOOB installs which is the answer to your questions You all b1tch about it sounding like crap because your buddies buy them from chain stores and put them in shitty pre-fab boxes A friend of mine got a proper box off of Fisher Customs for his 15 L7 and it sounded much better than my Type R in Fisher Customs box |
|
Silver Member Username: Hittin1LakeCharles LA., La Post Number: 341 Registered: May-07 | sorry for repeating this but.... 2- 12" typr r. Will get louder and sound better than 2- 10" L7 IMO. I own 4 solo's and like em a lot but.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike11202RE MT 15 VFL 200.1 , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1725 Registered: Nov-06 | Look above I said SIZE FOR SIZE L7 will be louder which is true because of the cone area. Also notice none of you have heard an 08 L7 so don't come back at me until you have  } |
