I would recomend sealed....is taht were you were talking about? sealed or ported?

proaudio22

Sealed my sound better over all, but you want to bump - slot ported. Like I said before, my buddy has a single 8" L7 in a slot ported box in his Eclipse. It will fuggin thump your brains out.

pimpscls

do they make those boxes or would i have to getta custom made box

proaudio22

Premade boxes are for little boys. Every box should be made to your exact subs/tuning. Even just having the right volume doesn't mean it's the right box. It's all about the diff lengths, etc. Go have one made.

Guf0923

proaudio22 is right...when you buy your subs, there should be a piece of paper in there with recomended factory information on cubic feet etc for your particular sub.....here's a link to a converter for all the information that you need...

Personally, I think that you should build it yourself. I built mine myself. It took a couple days to build. It's alot of fun, and in my opinion, there's a sense of satisfaction in building your own box.

I have the L7 with a regular sub box. Works fine for me. Have no clue what it would soound like with an enclosed box.

bigman

unless you buy a box from the manufacturer

RR32CLS

louder. a speaker is only as good as the box.

pimpscls

so i should get a custom made slot ported box instead of an enclosed box, you were saying they cost ne where from 400 hudred to 800 dollars are we talkin about the same box

Guf0923

Make it yourself!!!! It's not that hard at all, and it will cost you a fraction of the cost! My box cost me about $150 at the most....and I get nothing but compliments about it...

RR32CLS

compliments from people that know nothing..



















j/k

Guf0923

haha...ouch....it's all good though...

pimpscls

what you make it out of and what kind of box

RR32CLS

i think he made it out of metal and concrete. he has about 8cu.ft.^3 of volume. its not that big of a box. really easy to make. this is a box that you can make your self. i think its ported.

pimpscls

haha metal and concrete, ported iono if i could make that im pretty retarded

proaudio22

fuck all that shit, just get one of these:



18" SoloX 10,000 watts peak. Cut a whole in your roof, and mount it right about your head. Problem solved.

proaudio22

On a more serious note...could you make a bookcase for your room? If not, then you don't need to be making a box for your car. Have a pro do it. Just like we said before: go to a dealer, tell them what you want, and give them your money. Pick up the car later, all is good then.

pimpscls

yea i guess ill try this weekedn so the best box is the slot ported box and ill go for a rockford 1500 or the jbl 1200 amp, but my main goal is nice sound and beating my freinds system whom has a 2 rockford fosgate hx2 subs and a 1500 rockfordfosgate amp, do u think ill out bump him with a 1200.1 jbl

BTW THAT SUB IS MY DREAM IF I HAD AN SUV ID GET TWO OF THEM

RR32CLS

the jbl amp is stronger, one of the few rare amps that is rated 1200w at 2ohm, the jbl amp is a mono class d amp that will go down to 1 ohm.

phipark

I have a 12" L7 in a sealed box powered by 600 watts from a Kicker amp. I couldn't see why you would need anything more. This thing rattles my eardrums. I hope I don't go deaf.

RR32CLS

when he does go deaf, he wont be asking any more questions...

pimpscls

1200watt jbl is stronger????

bnavarro

I had a pair of L7's. They sounded sweet
