900 watts rms.. 2 12s or 15L7

[01yukonslt]

hey guys i am going to have the yukon paid off by the end of the month and wanna get a lil system together. I already have a kenwood amp that can push 900 rms at 2 ohms i have been looking at the alpine type r 12s (500rms each) or the kicker 15 L7 which is 1000 watts rms just wondering which of the two would sound better i really dont wanna throw down money on another amp and the kenwood never let me down before so just wondering which would be the better choice. space is not an issue since i dont have the third row option in my truck. any advice on these two setups would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.

Sealed or ported? What music do you listen to?

 

[01yukonslt]

most likely ported i have ran both and the ported setups have been my favorite so far i listen to mostly rap but sometimes a lil rock but not enough to need a sealed box all my music has always sounded pretty good with a ported box.

I have a little over 900rms going to my 15" L7 and from what people have told me, it hits pretty hard. I actually was able to meter mine and it hit 141.2db with the meter on front windshield.

i say 2 12's move more air

15" L7. Enough said.

matt14 would u mind posting or PMing me a pic of the box so i could get a general idea of size of the box and port i may try to build my first box if it doesnt look too bad. thanks for the input guys

L7's are beastly... I just put a 12L7 in the Kicker tuned ported box that they come in w/ an alpine MRP-M650 2 ohm 600W mono amp and it hits way harder than the 2 Diamond Audio 12"s I had in there that got stolen...

lol lets get some some more options than kicker... they get loud but dont sound good. i would personally take those type r's, with them setup right they will be louder, more cone area than the 1 15, more motor power.

diamond audio, re audio, DD, dc audio, image dynamics, tc sounds, sundown, a few rockfords, fi, ascendant audio, memphis mojo's, cascade designs, incriminator audio, treo, stereo integrity > kicker
