Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 378 Registered: Oct-10 | GI rob's first comment is correct in that the l7 should be in a ported box. thats about it. tune that beast low to like 30 or 28 even. the bigger the box, the more efficient it will reproduce the lowlows. Maybe 3-3.5 cubes. or more?? and they sound just fine going super low. Especially with a low-power amp due to the soft suspension on the l7.... gets it moving and banging without much work. But throw its max RMS at it for a lengthy time period........can't vouch for it then. very capable sub for the price. | |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 383 Registered: Oct-10 | My 2 l7 12s are slot ported and tuned to 29 with 2.8 cubes net each, running off my Sundown 1200. It sounds great, and the lows are brutal and clean. If you are going for SPL comps, or if you listen to rock and country alot, then tune higher. I love mine for the screwed and chopped LOWLOWS and could care less for those extra 3 or 4 db that will win me a competition but sound like shiiiitt. All in personal taste. They will do and sound fine tuned low if that is what you like. How many RMS are you throwing at it? |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 385 Registered: Oct-10 | This test track went down to 10 hz. That is TOOO low to be blasting at fulll volume with a box tuned to 29. Which is why you hear it bottom out. I'm an idiot haha so don't let that dissuade you. The track starts at about 60hz. |
