space is unlimited, back of big suv. what is everyones opinion?... I want SPL! i know alot of people will prob hate on the Kickers, but iv been outa the game for awhile lol idk much about the smaller name brands, that i hear are "alot better" then kicker etc.. I know L7s get low and hit hard as hell, so how do DC Level 3s compare!? Thanks guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Well, the dc level 3 will sound much better than the l7's. Id go with the level 3's and they dont require a lot of air space like the l7s do to get loud. Why not go with the level 4s?

I honestly think the l7s might get louder, especially if you dont plan to tune all that low. That said, the lvl3 is a decent sounding sub with respectable output ability. If I only cared for peak spl, Id do the kickers

How much power space and budget are you working with

Lol...well like i said unlimited space, back of a big suv so i have more then enough room, i want to stay under $1,000, and 3,000 watt AT MOST, i was planning on just the 2,000 watt on the l7s but i am open to anything!..how do the level 4s compare!?! they loud or what?

Trust me L7s will make u happy, ive already had to reweld the steel bracket back down that locks my trunk lip cuz it was flexing so much broke the seals. And my back windows are coming loose from the window motors.....thats what i get for putting them in a car

My buddies got 2 15inch l7 in a nice 12 cubic ft box tuned to 35hz on a 2011 zx2500 with 2 d3100 batts in the rear and a s3400 upfront with a dc 270 amp alt let me tell you that i only hit 1 db louder with 2 18 dc xl on that same zx2500......but then I put the dc's on a 12k and put those little kickers to shame //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you have unlimited space go 18's
