l7 or type x?

[bkathsalero]

Which is a better sub? I'll be running 2 of either one
so
2 Kicker l7's (15")
or
2 Alpine type x's (12")

[Ryan from Ohio]

Neither- they both suck.

The L7's have many issues with the fundamental design. They dont like ANY kind of abuse whatsoever. Its an SPL oriented driver. Unless you got mucho space these aint for you. Note, set of 12's would be MAXIMUM in an Alero... You wont fit 15's in the Alero in a proper box no way no how!

The Type X isnt anything great at all. Its an extremely over priced not so great sub. Its not really that good at anything. A type R will be better than a Type X.

You want a kick ass sub? Look in my sig. This weeks special is one HELL of a deal!

i have a single 10" L7 in my alero, have had for about 2 yrs now. i like it a lot, never really had any problem with it i i beat the piss out of it, full volume most of its life. they hits damn good for their size, most people that ride with me figure i have a 12" and are surprised its not. at the last sound off i was at, i only lost by about 1 db to my friends 2 12" alpines, 2400w in a civic.

So these are suppose to be good? /\/\

my problem is then I need an amp (suggestions)

Where on craigslist there are (2)15" l7's with (2)1500 watt amps for 800
or (2) Type x's with amp for 650

Both with boxes

how much are you willing to spend on the amp

[Ryan from Ohio]

Well I dont think the OP will be going after the Massives...

The special sale is now over with and the price is probably to much.

I still think both of the subs listed suck.

1) Theres not enough room in the Alero for 15's ported in either case...

2) To power such subs is not cheap. This goes beyond amplifiers. Im talking ALternator, batteries (more than one) and wiring.

Yeah if you're oprions are kicker or alpine. Sounds to me like you want cheap power. Hifonics new line of mono blocks give a you some solid power, for an awesome price!

[bkathsalero]

I can spend money. I understand the costs. And everything involved with power! Doing the big 3 and upgrades on batteries,etc. The reason I posted the op is because the listed subs are on my states craigslist for reasonably cheap. I'm no newb to audio. And btw If i was going BIG I would go Bravox.

But realistically I am looking at used subs with power due to the fact of my current builds. I got a block sitting in my garage waiting for it's big day.

But thanks for all the help

I can arrange DC audio for you (I dont sell it though- but have a contact). Same with Digital Designs.

I sell American Bass, might be able to special order a VFL.

RE Audio I dont carry but its still good shizzle.

Bravox wont touch any of the above subs...

[JLw7123]

ya the subs i am getting weight 57 pounds a piece they are the RE mt series

[Ryan from Ohio]

MT is pretty bad assed.

But for the price you could get a DC Audio lvl 4 or maybe an XL and be better off

[lil.red.alero]

hey ryan for my alero i want a decent sub that can be heard from a couple blocks away for pretty cheap you have any reccomendations?

[Ryan from Ohio]

depends on whats Cheap and how much power you got for them.

But I like the American bass DX subs. Kick ass sub for the money!

[DansGen1Alero]

my recommendations...if you can still find them JL Audio 12 VERSION 1, DVC, I have 6 (3 in alero, 3 in lex) I have an alpine V12 expert for the alero maybe pushin 900 to all three, and a 1000/1 JL pushin the lex. I Love the older JLs and how they have withstood the test of time. May be able to (if at all) find them pretty cheap maybe 75 a piece. I have stock on mine, bought 9 of them since they are discontinued, but 3 of which i bought blew shortly thereafter (guy must have lied to me)

[lil.red.alero]

ya i have two jl 12w3s right now with a kenwood 1000watt mono amp theyre okay but i want somethin thats a lil louder..and im talkin as cheap as i can get lol i used most of my money on subs and amps and im tryin to get rid of em now to get somethin nicer..i wanted an alpine type x or two but theyre just too expensive right now so i was lookin at re audio but i dont know whats the best or loudest

[DansGen1Alero]

oh my bad, I forgot to mention W-6s not w3s they are nothing compared to the version 1 w-6s

now if you had the money, go W-7, but for the price the W-6 version 1, 12 inch was the best bang for the buck.
