900 watts rms.. 2 12s or 15L7

[blueflamed03]

ya i have a kicker 12" L5 in the kicker box sittin in my room its really not that big and i could pick up another one for relatively cheap and just wire it to 2 ohms and it could sound pretty good i think.

that's what my 17 year old son has in the trunk of his car, 420 watts, thing is loud and perfect for him.

ya i have the one and in a civic hatchback it hit good i just figured since the yukon was so much bigger i would probably want something a little more so i can have the same sound in it.

I have 2 - 8" L7's w/1000 watts RMS going to them in a ported box. People swear I have 2 - 12's! I have the gain on the amp turned a little past halfway and they are very clean sounding with any type of music. I've had Fosgate, Kicker and JL. For small spaces and lower cost--I like the Kicker. For plenty of room and no budget--the JL 13w7 is UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[01yukonslt]

will the size of the yukon affect sub performance in a negative way? i know my 12" L5 sounded great in a small car but i have yeat to hear a similar setup in something as big as a yukon. the only system ive ever heard in a yukon was 2 15" eclipse titaniums on 3000 watts.

I run 3 10"L7 in my Escalade and I am running around 1300 watts and it slams...they are the first series and they have been around since 03-04 and I am starting to hear them crackling. Don't know if I am going to run 3 new series L7's or try 3 different brand 10'' subs. L7's really do slam though...

ok so i talked with thehoe92 and possibly will be buying his amp from him in a few weeks and he ran an 18 off of it no problems. its a t1k that makes around 1500 rms i believe he said and im thinkin of doing an 18 but then came across this on ebay just wondering what you guys think about this setup with the t1k

I'd take the extra money and put it towards a better box.

RE went Chinese with the "X" series stuff so the older series woofers are gonna be nice to have. Just another sign of where the audio industry is going.

 

[01yukonslt]

that would be an awesome deal if i had the money right now i was kinda thinking the box was a little on the small side ill just look for a package with just two subs and build a box probably.

INDEED....lol

I'm currently running 2 RE SX 15's powered by dual Sundown Audio SAZ 1500D. My enclosure is 8cubes (4cubes per sub) tuned to 32hz. I've been throwing around 1700WRMS to each sub as a daily street beater and they're still going strong. I've never been metered but my output is very decent. I am looking to go in a different direction woofer-wise. I may do a single 18 and strap my amps together.

 

[01yukonslt]

so basically these subs can handle a lot more than they are rated for?

too many variables to accurately say...

sealed or ported, what amp, what gain settings, what volatge, what impedance, etc,etc

Well stated my man.....I used a multimeter to match the gains on my amps to the voltage coming off of my HU. I will admit that the SX's are slightly underrated as I've been running them for over a year without frying the coils.

 

[01yukonslt]

well im most likely gonna run a rockford t1000 rated at 1500rms it would be ported because re doesnt suggest you run the subs in a sealed enclosure.

 

[matt14]

T1000 are that high? I was thinking more along the lines of 1200-1300 rms at 1ohm.

 

[01yukonslt]

thats what kasey thehoe92 told me maybe i read it wrong but i have heard that from a few people.

in the right box it hits HARD. ive had this setup since 03 believe it or not. had it in my 92 trooper from college, a 04 x5 and now my 07 tahoe. im on my 3rd square tho, but same box. if i remember right the box is 2.5 cu ft. no one thats been in my trucks believes its 1 12. it sounded best in the trooper, but it is louder in the tahoe than the x5. gonna get something new this yr tho, a L7 and maybe a new box.

 

[01yukonslt]

ya everyone thought i had a 15 because it was loud in my hatch and my doors would flex out. its in the kicker box thats ported and is probably around 2-2.5 cu ft. i think im gonna just pick another one up and run that instead and build a new box.

My audio guy here in ABQ said that if you go with the 15L7 go with a vented box and you'll get cleaner bang for your buck. If you just want to make raw noise then ported is the way to go. My old Suburban had 1 JL 13w7 and a XTANT 1001d Amp and I hit 146.8 on the dB meter. My buddies G35 with the same setup hit 152.0 so the smaller car made a difference but it was clean and powerful in a vented box in both vehicles. Don't know if you want to put up the money for the JL though. They are pricey.
