hey, my friends got a kicker l7 12" running off a TREO 700.1 in a f-150, that thing is mighty loud and hits notes extremely hard. My alpines are definately louder even though they are in my trunk, but given theres two of them and more power. The kicker hits hard, but the range frequency isn't as good, the Alpines are loud and sound great in basically any song

also, i tried a refurbished l5 10" a year ago, broke it in kinda...lol was desperate, and it blew in a few weeks. It's just like people say.

were the pre '05 Type R's better in a sealed box?

the new type r's can handle power better than the L7's can. type r's have dual spiders on them, L7's have single layer. go with the new type r...

Spiders have nothing to do with power handling...

well its hard to compare subs based n such different installs... and its not kickers fault you blew the sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but i will agree that type Rs sound great and get loud. i think its gonna be hard to say which will be louder for sure. but if theyre close enough to get arguements then does it matter a whole lot?

the type r...12"s...i had the mtx thunder 8000 ..old sub though..hated the sq on it though..

Old MTX

By far

 

[Kusan_31 10+ year member]

L7s are loud no doubt, but i tend to like how the type Rs stay musical when turned up. love the sound of the 12" R. i would pick one up but i tend to not like having the same woofers as my friends.

the dual spiders are used to reduce distortion, and it really does work. the awful suspension noise present in the older type R models no longer exist in the 05s

 

[JakeM 10+ year member]

how does a MTX 7500 compare to a new Type R?

 

[Trancer 10+ year member]

A better comparison would be the Type R and the 8500. The Type R would own the 7500.

The 7500 and Type R are in two different classes.

1 type R 12 beat 2 square 12"s

anything is possible
