^ you must read all...

 

if you want the kickers thats cool

get the dual 4 ohm version(s)

and this amp

http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...products_id=44

honestly best bang for the buck

1200rms @ 12.5 volts so if your eleectrical is ok, the amp will put out about 1400-1500rms @ 1ohm.

Also, I think you'd be happier with a single sub in a medium to large ported box

either 10 or 12, which ever you have room for

$250 for amp + $300 for sub

Ive used that exact pair in my car and it pounded pretty wicked.

The Fi sub will handle more than the 1500rms the amp will provide.

 

At least get the L7 if you're gonna go with kickers. L5's are junk.
If you like your music loud I can guarantee you will blow the L5's real quick..

 

thats not entirely true

I ran an L5 12" for a good year with about 1000rms daily

 

+1 on this.

 

You must of gotten a special L5..

 

Hey guys i'm still on the hunt for equipment.

I'm in btwn

jl audio
12" w6 w/ a amp

or kicker
12" l5 or l7 w/ a amp

do i really need 2 subs? Also i gutted the entire trunk, no spare etc. It's all out!

 

you dont need em but if you do go with 2 its gonna get you results your lookin for.
haha nice with the guttin of the trunk

I have two boston g2 subs and no trunk room at all.. but i love em.. id go with kicker thou. ive heard alot of good about kicker and some friends have kicker l7s and love em. i dont really hear about jl but im sure theyd b good too..

also not tryin to take the whole thread away from you but i have the stock bose head unit in rite now.. and i already have a alpine dd head unit ready to go in pretty much.. is that gonna make my speakers sound worse you think?

 

Lol, I'm a simple man. I went with a Rockford P1000bd amp and 2 JL Audio 10W3s in a sealed box. It's more than good enough for me to hear and feel.

 

Cool stuff, JL hits hard too. Kickers are good too. but yes your stock speakers will sound like crap when you upgrade to a dd. That's the reason i need to upgrade my sound system. because I just about had it

I was thinking the samething. 2 JL W3s would be good too.

 

Hey that's my car. I have L7's in my car. I think a single 12" will be good.

 

Stock Bose are even more terrible when they are trying to compete with subs, upgrading those is a must.

 

Ok cool. you think a 500/1 JL amp will push it? or a 1000/1 amp will push that 1 L7?

 

500/1 will power it... 1000/1 will push it

 

Doesn't everything have " SONY GUTS "..? J/k. Man. Wish I couldve only spent a G when doing my system...

Good luck mang.!
