Has anyone ever heard Dual L7's in a dual bandpass box vs 2 L7's in a sealed custom box?

L7's kinda lack sound quality to start with, if you do bandpass then you will have 0 sound quality, but they could be damn loud. Kicker doesnt recomend using bandpass for L7's and the box would have to be built perfect and with no specks to work with its gonna be hard. Your gonna be better off to do sealed, or if you want it to be louder do ported. BTW a bandpass box for those subs would be monsterous. If you are gonna try it you better have a SUV or a car were the back seats can come out.

Never put any sub into a bandpass box, for any reason, or else!!!

Thanx ravendarat. Yeah I have a 1992 jeep. My L7's lack so alot of quality like you said. So i figured if i have this quality now. how much worst can it get? Its really no quality at all just madddd loud and vibrating everything. What I really would love to do is to get some speakers that I can use for my quality bass and just have the kickers be the loud part of the bass. I never understood lows and mids and highs so i can't put it terms like that. I still have my factory jensen speakers in my 92 jeep cherokee. The tweeters in those speakers are fantastic the bass really sucks but the voice/music from the speakers are pretty dam good. So i really don't want to change them but i got noooo bass quality with these subs. I'm even willing to trade these SPL subs for SQ subs if anyone is interested. I've bought some cheap ass subs down in canal in bandpass box and wthey were pretty dam loud for 175 watts. I have a 1200.1 kicker amp pushing my subs right now. As for you auex, Why shouldn't subs for into a bandpass box? or else lol. or else what? Sorry for being such a newbie but i never knew car audio was this complicated/interesting. Thanx for your reply's guys can't wait to hear from you . ------------- I guess that guy has subs.

It's hard to tune a bandpass box so the subs sound good. It has to be just right to sound decent and there are too many variables involved. My advice for newbies(and everyone else for that matter) is to stay away. L7s put out tremendous SPL(loud, low bass) to begin with but aren't very musical. You want them in a box that will increase the sound quality, not decrease. Personally, I'd go sealed-if you want more bass go ported.

You need to get Brown Bread or other sound dampening installed before you can tell bass quality. I would do this and get rid of the vibrations, then go from there. And, you want to have two different qualities of subs in the same system? Not good, pick one and go with it. ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

"And, you want to have two different qualities of subs in the same system? Not good, pick one and go with it." Since i have the SPL from my subs i would like to get some quality from my speakers. Anyone know the best 5 1/4 comp set to use for this? On a budget. Not looking to spend 300 bucks for 2 comp set's ------------- I guess that guy has subs.
