So how much are you willing to spend? How many subs?
What car do you have?
Also can u tell us the specs of your amp? Model number?
My friends 2 12L7s in a "universal" vented box and a Memphis 1000D hit 157.
Peace

Ok 157db is a little far fetched, unless it is on a very old outdated meter.
I am asuming you have actually ran on a term-lab or Audiocontrol 190 meter? USaci? Db Drag?
If you are looking for loud, you cant beat the Kicker L7's for the Price range right now.
We ran a memphis 2000d with 2 l7's in a civic coupe, yes a trunk car.    It did 153.1db at a USACi show.   The Vids of it are on my web site to back that claim up    haha

I hit 125 in a boat but then again I didn't have 4-walls to help maintain the pressure.

alright well i was not lookin into l7's just for the simple faact that i kno they can be loud as hell but not all the time. i have heard l7's be loud on some songs and then on others they arnt. plus i was looking for a circular sub not a square becsue the box is already made for my car. and i kno that l7's come round but i dont kno if they are as good or not. so any other sugjestions?

Before making a buying decision I would try educating yourself on what makes a sub loud or not, how to select subwoofers that interact best with your car for maximum spl levels, and the relationship between subwoofers and their enclosures.

Well it was in my friends eclipse where and it was at a car audio shop in the install bay with a high quality spl meter. Doctor Dashboard is the name of the shop. Pretty good shop but they suck on prices.
