Purchased this L7 in the box about a year ago. Played it too loud too fast and it blew on me within a few days. Got a new one on warranty from Kicker. Played it a little quieter for a few days, then bumped. That one also blew on me. Luckily, Kicker is very very forgiving and replaced it one more time for free (unbelievably). The third one I had I definitely played it quiet for a few weeks. Then Bumped. Now, no problems. It gets loud. Remember, in this ported box it's more for SPL and not SQ. Overall, this is a very loud sub, but you NEED to break it in for the first two weeks. The spider is way to stiff in the beginning.

The L7 right out of the box is just amazing. I had an L5 and it was great. The L7 on the other hand is much stronger. I knew it was great even with the same amp I had. I had a 400W amp for the L5 and even that gave me a glimpse as to what this L7 was capable of. The next day I purchased a JL audio HD750/1ohms and it came to life. Now that it has been more than 6 months, this L7 is going stronger than ever and getting better every few months. For the money, I can't recommend anything better; especially with the custom box. I love it for what it does, and what it does is give me a lot of bass.

I JUST PURCHASED THE L7 12" KICKER IN THE KICKER PORTED BOX . VERY SATISFIED HOOKED IT UP IN A 94 T-BIRD. TO AN MTX AUDIO THUNDER 5601 AMP IS RATED AT 500 WATTS. THE KICKER SPEAKER IS THE BEST BUY FOR THE MONEY. ONLY THING IS I HAVE A 79 CAPRICE AND AN 84 CUTLASS. I HAVEN'T DECIDED HOW BIG OF SPEAKERS I WILL PUT IN EITHER OF THEM. BUT IT WILL BE KICKER. I'VE FOUND A NEW RESPECT FOR KICKER HARD DEEP BASS! THIS ONE 12" HITS HARDER THAN ALLOT OF 15'S THAT I'VE HEARD. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE KICKER L7. AS FOR SONIC IT IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR A LOW PRICE AND EXCELLENT SERVICE.
