I been a building stereo systems for 28 yrs and just learned something from this channel that I wasn't expecting to learn. That fact is, I just need to admit to my wife" I just love subwoofers!".
@nate0 hi Nate, my name is Mike Honcho, And I too and a Basshead, audiophile, self medicated of course. But it’s not a problem, I can stop anytime I want… right?
Had to shoot a shout-out to you for your quick response. Love the professionalism, information and patience. It is because of u that the old timers are coming back. Thanks bruh, stay blessed!
You keep doing what you doing and explain these multiple generations that forget the science behind it. Mad shout out to you Triple OG/Bass guru. Keep on booming!!!🔊🔊👍🏻
Thanks for sharing and teaching us "ME" about that!! Something else I now know because of YOU!!! You're AWESOME because no one else is doing what you do!!! So THANK YOU!!
Great content as always! In running 2 deaf bonce apocalypse 3012s in my golf and I absolutely love them but in excited for the new L7 X because my old X's were loud af and they sounded great! It remains my favorite setup to date and I've been through a lot of subs lol
This video was right on time i have two l7 12” I’ve had them for years in several diff boxes finally got it right on my last build i was contemplating going sundown but I’m gonna stick with my l7
The information is based on the science of sounds and how sound is creates. I love this information and I trust all of this guys information. I use the Q class in a single 8 enclosure in a Lexus LC500 and it believe me the output is incredible. Thanks for the awesome and truthful content.
I'm picking up one of these L7 12 today. Kicker is one of the only companies designing stuff anyone. You take a CT, B2, Sundown, Skar and it really seems like the same design. Not that its bad, just good to see Kicker still trying to innovate. They look cool as hell too.
I love your take on this stuff. Ready for the next class 😃 I'd love to have you build for my 15 VW beetle hatchback. The SA 12 is in a nice"pre fab" it's sounds good now. I can only imagine how it would sound with your box.
Dude this guy is the man!!! Thank God for a man on RU-vid telling the truth about exactly why kickers higher end shit beats a lot of the competition in the same price range. Because after your skar and sundown are blown and or distorted thay kicker is still bangin hard as hell... I have a 12 inch l7 comp q in a 2.7 cub. Tuned to 30 and that fucker hits so hard people think I have atkeast 2 12s and a lot of the time I'll be asked what do you have in there a couple 15s... it was shaking my car while you were in front of me. Nope it's a kicker comp q 12 l7
Thus brother speaks my language. Man in all my years of sound systems I have NEVER heard someone answer my years of questions in a few minutes without asking any questions
Watching from U.K. England thanks man for the info here we have a lot of kicker lovers like myself and your right it's a lot to do with the enclosure box. I have two 12s comp q 4ohm 850 rms per sub looking for the right box. Can't wait xx
Its great to see someone who knows details..... I said it many times... If a system is done right you dont need all kinda big shit, you need to feed it power to get power! I had 3 10 inch POPS subs in an 87 Buick Regal Limited in a custom ported box on a 3,000 watts (or 4,000 it was the red & black amp with no fuse on it) Crunch amp Class D... People just knew i had like 4 12s or 3-4 15s.... Like NOPE 3 10s
Good facts.... boxes make the sound not the speaker bigger the box deeper bass... but also if ur speakers can't handle the volume of air it will blow the coil.... GREAT INFO👍🏽👍🏽🤩
I enjoy your videos, I don't really speak car audio language so these are very informative. So I measured the space I have to work with in my single cab, dimensions are 15h x 10w x 36l. What can I put in?
Finna drink this coffee, have my bacon and eggs, and go out to the garage myself! Scored an old ascendant audio chaos 18 unopened woooo!!!! Box time 8 ft3 @31hz aero
Fantastic video, and I have question. What would you recommend for a 2011 Yukon none Bose setup. I actually want a stealth box behind the panel rear driver's side but open to suggestions
The u series will take more power imo , just lien usual so if it reliably takes twice the power you need twice the subs to be as loud , so now you have 1 sun as loud as 2 of the kickers in 1/3 the space . Kicker has stepped up the game huge just in the last 5 years tho and I really like the products coming out !
Skar recommends 21.875 port area a piece for my Skar SVR D4 12s. I feel like I should go 16 square inches per cubic foot on a 4 cube net enclosure . Am I right or should I stick with the manufacturers recommended port area? I feel like you would be the man to ask.
Nothing beats the right sub in the correct enclosure with the perfect power the subs need. I see people new to car audio go out and buy for example a taramps amplifier and some sundown sa subs and they are in a horrible enclosure with way too much dirty power just burning up the voice coils and it sounds horrible. It's cool that you are trying to help people with knowledge learned over years of experience.
That was me,this guy here.i had three sa8 and a smart 3.those things sounded like donkey balls.till i sold em to my neighbor and we built a box and put them on a skar rp 1800.i will be first to admit a taramps dont hold prayer to a decent korean board half bridge amp.the sq isnt there.sry
I will get attacked over this.taramps guys say they sound the same bc barevids says so,lol.i think what barevids meant was the way the output current flows sounds the same not the amps sound quality is equal.
Could I add 2 8in Q class with the 10in Q class I have in my single cab pickup? Or would I be better off just adding one more 10in Q class with a custom box?
So if I'm doing A. 2 8 box underneath my Silverado 2500. I should go with the kicker. Is that what you're saying? And another question that I have, do you sell boxes? It's my first time watching your video.
What are the specs for a box that I would need for two 12-in L7Q kicker's? Because at the moment I am running them in the biggest q bomb box that is designed for them.
I would imagine it wouldn’t sound the same because of the components the way they put together the heat dissipation the surround spiders etc. but yeah you would gain some dBs
Now when the next class starts, do you want me to bring you an apple or some catfish 🤣 You remind me of my people around Jackson, Alabama! You ain't kin to any Phillips or Philes in Alabama are you? I got folks in Louisiana too & some potnuz in the Magnolia state. Errrrbody good people fuh sho! My brutha you keep doing whatcha doing & I gotcha locked in on my subscriptions. Stay safe & be Blessed 💯🙏🏿💪🏾✊🏿✌🏿
Real deal question here… daughters care has a 5 channel rated 750 on mono side.. does a clean 700 and dynamics to 950.. looking for single or dual 12’s that can fully use that low power.. I can get up to 8cubes if need be and still have 1/2 the truck available.. got 42 between the wheels. Little over 17 to the rear deck and squats out about 20” from seat backs.. I was looking to get her to a comfortable 140-143bd of a single good sub or dual lower mid levels.. for reference.. something like say 1 l7 Q vs 2 comp r’s to best use the limited power but not starve the drivers either.. pricing falls about right both ways for the budget too.. not even sold on ported tbh. Other then limited power I’ll need a bigger box and going reflex to best use the power. Here is the issue.. if I go single I want to do deep on the box and make it HO if dual it will be basic trapezoidal box.. both going to play similar even given the cone area.. she listens to everything from country to biggie.. to M so really leaning on a q in a deep sealed box as I don’t think the comp r’s will roll off a littler early according to programs unless I tune it really low.. then I’m giving up the drum bass higher up.. Open to any box or speaker setup but im not drilling 3k on her sub and amp.. 700-900 just isn’t really cutting it for here.. even looked at say two scars but they are too power hungry even being cheaper speakers.. Any ideas, thoughts recommendations on a driver that that fits this premise outside the the ones I’m already considering.. in all honestly I think the sgl l7q is likely the best overall. Oh and being a typical 5ch it’s only 2oh on the mono side
😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love your videos lots of knowledge. its alot involved to sound good voltage box sub dsp processor or. x over is too much stuff involved. i hear someone said to make the box 1.3 bigger then manufacturers recomend for ported box again you need to check all stuff on win sd everything is posible i never follow rules rules are made to be modified 😂😂😂😂 i been on pro audio for a while all ways we learn!
let me tell ya. I've got a 2019 ram. I've run sundown audio, Skar, DCaudio, B2's 12", 10" and trust me they all banged. But when I stepped up my game and bought a nicely built sub enclosure custom fit under my back seat. I listened to this dude about the air space. and how if you have more air travel you have more bass. he was pushing 8's I was like no way... I said screw it. I bought 2 kicker Q class L7 8"s in a ported box ran them in series. to about roughly 1400 rms and they took every bit. they are rated for I think the book said 550 rms each. but they pound. No one believes me that they are 8's! straight out flexing my panels in my truck . back glass ripples. roof looks the ocean during a freaking storm ! its nuts. I sound deadened my cab every panel . and I did upgrade all my speakers and amplified them as well. I'm telling you don't sleep on these kicker Q class L7 8's
Planning to add a l7s to my 2013 odyssey, thinking I'll do a custom box and point it at the back glass for more spl, what's the biggest box I can make for that sub and it not sound like crap. I like loud boomy bass but the wife is complaining and saying i only get 1 8 so i figure the l7s class would be perfect! If I could find one I'd go with a q class
I learn things different everyday I was just saying to my cousin don’t matter what subs you have it’s about the box you put some cheap subs in a spec made box an you get results like you got some high end speakers in the trunk or truck
Deciding between 2- L7 8" ( non Q class 2- L7 8" (can't find any)) and 2- U8's, not really concerned with SPL, more quality, I have about .7 per chamber for a sealed down facing box going in a Lexus LS500 running 1000W Sundown amp. I'm torn what to go with!?
Man I hope u read post I have Nissan Frontier crew love my solos putting sound system together using Q power frontier 10 down firing box for 2x10” with L7T 10 and kicker passive radiator to fill other hole what are your thoughts about a set up like that
when you put the kicker L7 in a bigger than recommended sub enclosure, doesn't that put more stress on the sub's webbing/3 piece cone? you said its relying on the mechanical movement of the subwoofer because theres less air resistance inside the box... but wouldn't that wear out the sub's webbing/mechanical stuff faster? wonder why they wouldn't just recommend putting the L7 8's in a 1.5 cube box instead if its louder and runs cooler...?
MBE, Do you happen to know the factory enclosure size in a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer? I can’t find this info and my local shops haven’t helped. I have the factory alpine system. To my understanding it’s very similar to late grand Cherokees. 8” woofer, looking to replace it and some amps.
Hey boss i got a 12inch cerwinvega maxx with 2000 w 1000w rms. What kind n size box will it thump. Because i have it in a flatish box cus it was in my g35 small ass infinity trunk butt it would shut iff wen id turn it up .. if my amp is only 1000 w n it wasnt even turned up all the way
Hey, what’s up bro I got a few questions. Hopefully you can answer them for me. So I want to buy some subwoofers But I want bass and I don’t know what to get it between 2 L7s 10” square Or 3 L7t 10” Square Which setup would make more bass
