And why do people sometimes put there speakers facing into their boxes?</TD></TR></TABLE>IMO unless you are doing a "clam-shell" or " offset isobaric system there is no good reason to install a speaker facing into the box, I guess when people spend all that money on chrome, flames and big magnets w/logos, they need to show it off. 94

If it's a sealed box, the heat from the voice coil is dissipated to the environment instead of into the box.

 

The S15L7 can sound pretty good, [and of coarse SQ in general will be dependent on the whole system] but your looking at a 6 cuft box, although will work in a box as small as 1.5 cuft.

Did you not get the manual with the sub? There may be info in there that can help you make up your mind on what to do... http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-...B.pdf

Because you already have the sub, why not build a box, [use Kickers suggested sealed box volumes] pick a size you can live with, and follow their suggestions on how to build the box, and try it out.

If you don't like it, sell it along with the box and look for something else, it kind of depends on what you like, the way you like your bass to sound is not the way I like bass to sound, who knows, you may like the bass you end up with, a lot. 94

 

I guess i have to build my own box, and hope it wont come out crappy. And would a huge magnet on a little sub make it sound better? Cuz i always hear that the most important thing is how big the magnet is. But never quite got a clear answer.

Bump.....

Bump.....</TD></TR></TABLE>In a word NO, it's like that other myth about size, and as with it, "it's not size that matters, it's how you use it" with a speaker it's not how big it is, but how strong it is. 94

 

Cool. thanks for the answers everyone.
But would a system sound better if the wires were short? Just something that i've tried to figure out.

 

 

i heard that they dont last long....the last for about 100 hours of play time...BLAH!

if you wanna get the most "bang for ur bucks" do DD.....

i got two 3512's w/ 2000w to each...im puttin up 162.4 db....

DD's get loud and sound good doing it...

 

Wow, i've never heard of them. How much was your whole setup? And is that CF in the middle of the speaker?

 

If i should sell my 15" Kicker, how much should i ask?

 

I know I have said this already,go with JL subs. You get quality, durability, and consistency with their products.

 

I gues i'll go with JL's then. So how much should i ask for my 15" Kicker?

 

Depends, how much did you pay for it and was it ever used? If it is stiil unused then try to sell it for what you paid.

 

Its brand new, and i got it from a friend. But i dont know how much they are in stores. I've looked but havent found 15's, just 12's and they go for around $500 brand new.

 

Prolly could get around $225-250ish for the L7,imo.

 

Anyone else know about Pricing on a brand new 06' L7?
Thanks.

Damn, i cant believe i forgot to look on Ebay. Oh well then if anyone wants this i'll let it go for $270.

 

^^^^

 

$250-Anyone?
And how is it exactly that they repair the speakers when they blow? Maybe i can save the one i already have. Thanks.

 

A blown speaker can be "re-coned", what is done is anything that is not metal, [cone, surround, spider and coil former along with the coil and tinsel leads] are removed and replaced with new ones.
Some manufacturers have "re-coning kits" for their speakers, others do not. 94

 

Thanks for the info. ill try it.

 

Anyone want a 15" Kicker?
