atleast its alot easier to make a box for an l7 than anything else.

Skoodles

kicker's subs have a tighter and cleaner response. i like them! and they're not ridiculously expensive like Fosgate T1's or JL W7's...but i would like to get one 12" W7! ! ! :D

i either need sound deadining or a new head unit. the doors just dont sound right. and the head unit anything after 22 you can tell a change in pitch in the highs. its like it cuts to a lower frequency. i think i'll get a new head unit first pioneer this time around then see if the subs sound any better.

i'm pro-pioneer! especially their premier line! i have a pioneer premier and it has a 12 band adjustable eq and 3-4V RCA pre-amp outs! quite nice...with adjustable HPFs and LPFs

so...i guess you like infinitys?!

Skoodles

i like em but im not totally 100% for them. i just got a good deal on everything.

i found out my problem is in my cd player. if i set the gains so i can turn it all the way up to 35. when i start to back the volume down it gets softer then at 22 BAM its loud again. if you go up to 23 the sound is flatter and the subs get softer. i think ill just get a new cd player first.

i just hope ppl dont think im the same :mattsgay: driving around in a white integra with a :mattsgay:black spoiler.

but seriously im gettin pretty excited about the whole deal. got a few ideas on how i can find another ls shortblock stick my spare ls head on it and sell the hatch. then i'll still have 2 swaps for the gs-r put my ls/v in it and well the gs-r motor...thats top secret.

i would build a badass enclosure before buying new subs. a pair of 12's can get mightly loud.
