Kicker
Are Kicker SoloBaric Subs louder than the other Kicker Series? I am looking into two 15" SoloBaric L7's but I noticed that the Comp VX's had a bigger sensitivity and I read somewhere that the higher the sensitivity the more bass you have. Is that true? I really like the L7's but the Comp Vx's or VR's aren't out of the question. I also have a 2400 watt Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp. Is that going to be enough power for the subs and all of the speakers except tweeters? What kind of box would be the most effecient and give me the best sound overall whether it be vented or sealed doesnt matter and I don't need it to bust my rear window!!!
One last question: How does someone tune a box and what is involved in tuning a box for 15's to like 32 hertz? Is it the less Hertz the more bass or what? I never really understood that. Thanks for all of your help.

sell that amp and get a hifonics amp

and as far as the 12 or 15..
it probably just depends on what type of music you listen to.
i believe the smaller the sub the tighter the sound.
i could be wrong though.

Thats because it acts like a ported bot and lets more air flow. same way with mine.

ok heres the deal....the cvx is infact a close second to the L7. it really depends on the type of sound you are looking to produce. the L7 will give you a lower base but the cvx will "hit" better all around, it also requires less airspace. as far as putting 2 15s in the back cab i would not recomend it. 2 12s in the end will sound much cleaner and crisper, due to airspace. the 4 ch amp, will be better off sold. you need a mono or 2 channel for the subs. for your highs i would recomend a 4 channel of atleast 400 true watts of power when ran at 4ohms....this means that on the amp ratings it should be around 800 watts at 2ohms... but considering that door speakers are ran off 4 ohms, that what you want to look for.....any other questions..just ask.

i have 2 L7 12's in my truck look at this pic..
and if you try and fit 2 15's you gotta be 4 foot nothin with the seat right up.. there is NOT enough airspace in teh cab of a ranger for 2 15's let alone 2 12's it will sound like **** till the windows are open..i have them and there LOUD AS HELL with 2 1000 watt amps and an upgraded 130amp alt cause i blew up the stock 95 to crap..and dinomat EVERYTHING cause everything will come lose aftertime...any questions feel free to email me or add me to messnger....dakinbryce@hotmail.com

Its all about the install. I have a single 10" L7 in my F150 and its probably cleaner and louder than almost everyone on this site. 4ch amps can work ok to run subs but usually you will not have as much power and it will draw more current from your battery. Even somthing simple like a 12" L7 in a 1 cube sealed box will sound great as long as you have the needed power.
