Since you are already a kicker fan go with the kicker L7's they can handle it.

Someone said they have never sen a sub that blew and would no longer move. Well the first car audio purchase I made was a used Boss sub in a beat Q-logic box that someone had cut a hole in the top of, in the attempt to "port" it. I had it running off a Power Acoustik 525W max amp (no idea of rms) with the gain all the way up. It played for about ten minutes, stopped playing, and no matter what I did I could not get it to move so much as an inch again. No idea what was wrong, but I couldnt see any physical damage. I still have the amp, its running my 6x9s right now. The sub is still sitting in my room collecting dust and reminding me never to by cheap crap again punch hx2 blown! what subs now? - Page 3 -- posted image.

Hey i know most people are probably gona talk trash about these brands but if your on a budget i think these would be the best bang for the buck. either Ma Audio MA1200XL 600wRMS 1200wMax dual 4ohm coils,

or Audiobahn Alum10Q 800wRMS dual 6ohm coils. Ive delt with both brands and models and have never had a problem. I just recently installed an Ma Audio 8in MA800XL 400wRMS 800wMax, into my friends 2004 jeep wrangler. I made a fiberglass box to replace the factory 6.5in woofer in the center consel. Man it sounds great, clean, and deep. woofer was only $65 @ etronics.com and it came overnite from NY, NY to houston, TX. Check them out, youll be surprised with the sound.

It Can always be Done, The question is do you have the MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

the price on the adires arent a problem, im willing to do it right, BUT i want to keep the current box other wise it would have been hands down the l7.

And this system is only for a few more months hopefully when i plan on gettin something to get good sq out of and lots of SPL, im considering 2 w7s or two L7s

An F-mod would be the solution to your lack of a subsonic filter...you can purchase one to fit your needs off www.partsexpress.com for about $25. If you plan on eventually goin for Sq and SPL..don't go with the L7's..they're more for strictly sq...now the W7's are a whole new story. I would suggest Either Tempests or Shivas for a great blend of sq and spl.

No MA Audio, and no kicker. Get Adire Shiva's and you will be pleased. For $125, they are the rip man. If you wanna spend more, just go for the Brahma, or try Alumapro's Alchemy RX's. Those kick major but and are strong as can be.

Lemme know what you decide.

Don't choose L7's. Go W7's or Brahmas if you got the cash laying around. ( I recommend the Brahma).

I agree with pimpincavy. I had a set of 10's that I got from a friend, built a box and hooked them up. They both played for about one minute. All of a sudden both of them just "froze up". They were as stiff as a board. You couldn't take your hand and move them at all. I had never seen any do that before or since. They were not cheap subs either. At least he gave me my money back.

I promise I'll shut up about Adire in this thread after this post! ;)

I'd recommend Brahma's over JL W7s. Both are great speakers, but W7s are way too expensive.
