I cannot recommend anything made by MA Audio. Kicker is a much better company.

See the thing is that I already have the MA. I bought them long time ago and they sound ok. But I came accross the L7 and I was wondering if I would be better of with the L7( sound wise, and spl wise)

Blowing up in a car accident doesnt worry me, as long as I'm putting out some major dB's when I die...

well it was going to a 96 monte carlo. I already have the 2 MA. I've had them for a while. They sound ok but I was looking for a better brand of subwoofer and I found a good deal on the L7. The L7 is a dual 2 ohm Voice coil and the MA are dual 4 ohm. I have the 2 MA hooked up in series and parallel for a 4 ohm load. I was going to hook up each VC of the L7 with each channel of the p5002 but I guess the amp is to small for the sub so I might just end up staying with the MA'S

Do you have a suggestion about the sub I should consider for that amp?

I Like JL'S but I just find a bit to expensive.

hell for 300 bux im sure if you search around a little you can find a nice pair of used 12s or a really nice 15. that l7 is a pretty decent woofer but i personally just dont like the sound. to unnatral. Its not like bass is natral anyways though but if your going to go with those MAs remember you cant polish a turd.
