subwoofers tested today

test were done with 1 kicker 1500.1 all at 1 ohm in 1.5 cubic ft ported 2 aeroports.
changed face for the kicker.

inwood 12 d4=143.2
pyramid super pro 12 d4 145.8
ap 12 d.9 thats what it showed on the meter 149.1
cerwin vega vmax 12 d2=149.6
t3 audio tss12 d2=150.9
kicker l7 d2=151.1

this test may be flawed because 3 of the first 4 subs were maxed out powerwise,and the last 2 needed a bit more power so the results could change.

done suprse me the l7 is more efficient than that t3 other wise with a ton more power the t3 would probly take over but this is the reason we love kicker you dont need all the power

cone area FTW.

Exactly, larger diaphram, the L7 is closer to a 15 than a 12

With the L7's in my rex my round 12's where louder by .3db.

Not tryin to be a smart pooter, well maybe, but how did you get 1 D4 down to 1 ohm

Good point

what ohm did you run the atomic at? .45 or 1.8?

neither it said .53

will have video of the l7 vs t3 rematch in a week or so.each will be ran off 1 of my mmats 3000.05.

im suprised the ap wasent a little louder...anyway...

box Alan we know this is the real key to a subs beoing at peek performance man

Exactly...the test really means nothing if all the subs were simply put in the same size enclosure. Each sub would need to be put in it's own optimum sized box. Than and only then the test would be worth something.

I totally agree.

By these tests I'd go with the pyramids. LOL

THATS WHY THEY ARE GOING IN THE 1.75 BOX THAT KICKER RECOMMENDS,ITS ALSO A GOOD FIT FOR THE T3'S ALSO.

LOL, that box is too small for the TSS, and 1500 watts is barely tickling his tummy..... Go for 2.3 cubes and mo powa.

P.S. The TS woofer is comparable to the L7 on paper and similarity..

Being that the power level was so low, I am astonished that the TSS was only .2 off..... lets see some powa!

Excursion with more power FTW.

subs that last more than 2 shows and get fixed and returned withing a year ftmfw Kicker

Is that an invite?

Trust me, I just popped in to comment... I won't make a habit of arguing on here....
I am here to make friends and help anyone that I can.....

My speakers speak for themselves.... but they don't have the number of competitors over here that I do in other organizations....

I am humble and can only hope to have the success of Kicker one day.

more power on the L7, and also Tamu, is it an 08 L7?

Hey Tracy, loser buys the winner a beer in Daytona!

LOL...

Either way, there is no loser!

drinking beer, there is NEVER a lose/lose situation

I was thinking....
Heck, it is an honor to even be compared to Kicker.....
