The kicker is a SPL sub for sure.   And the 9500's are alot cheaper then the JL w7, but almost twice as much as a Kicker L7.    Really You could go with 1 9500 with a massive amount of power. I mean like 1500-2500 real power. and it will out do a L7 or W7 hands down2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

i did  an install not to long ago in an 05 ford truck, two 12" kicker L7's and two kicker kx600.1's run at one ohm ( they are acutally supposed to be 2 ohm stable but this customer has had us install this product before and the have lived for about a year and a half now at one ohm and no porblems) in a sealed box and they sound great. that was actually the idea behind the solo barics originally, to be able to simulate the size and output of an isoBARIC (see the resembelence there?) enclousre which uses two subs and half the space of a convencitional one speaker set up. their suspensions are geared toward a small sealed enclosure and sound great that way. almost any sub by nature will have more bass responce in a vented box because those type of enclosures are designed to boost the subs preformance, and acutally produce almost all of the bass around their tunnig frequency. use the L7's, gety better preformance than your mtx's and save your trunk. it was meant to be.
