ARGHHHHHHH
Alright, I talked to you guys and got a feel for what my best choice was. My choices were between a 15" kicker L7, 1 12" L7, or 2 10" L7 while powered by my xplod amp. Here was my email to Kicker Technical Services ...
Here is my situation. My name is Matt Durbin and i am relitively new to the car audio scene. I have played around with some different subwoofers, infinity kappa perfect 12.1's and 10" eclipse aluminums. I have not been pleased yet. I have a sony 1600 watt max 900 watt rms (into 2 ohms) amplifier that I want to use for my system. I want to use some of your L7's but am having a hard time figuring out just how to go. Maybe a 15" because I have close to 1000 watt's rms in a vented enclosure that is tuned to around 32 hz? Or maybe just 1 12" so I know that I have enough power again in a vented enclosure that is tuned to around 32 hz. Or Maybe I could get 2 10" L7's in avented enclosure that is tuned to around 32 hz. I have these three options, and, because you are the experts, I figure that you could tell me the best possible set up given my amp. I am looking for sound that is loud! Spl would be my number 1 priority, but sq can not be bad, and I know it wont be with Kicker subs. Any help would be appreciated...Thanks again....Matt Durbin
and here was his response to me....Go with the 10" subs. I think that you will achieve your best SPL out of a pair of the 10" subs. I don't think that you will want to tune the enclosure that low for a good SPL response. I am pretty sure that you will want the tuning somewhere between 40-45 Hz.
Sh*t...I thought the best choice was 1 15" but now kicker tells me different. The 1 kicker 15 will give me 225 inches of displacement vs. 200 for the 10's...I dont know what to do now..
...suggestions again?

i own a solobaric L7. sq isn't that great, spl is loud enough for me however i have not measured it at all.
I'm thinking about giving away my setup to my gf and just going for a JL setup, cuz honestly, there's no point in being loud if it sounds like shiet
