Had to shoot a shout-out to you for your quick response. Love the professionalism, information and patience. It is because of u that the old timers are coming back. Thanks bruh, stay blessed!
You keep doing what you doing and explain these multiple generations that forget the science behind it. Mad shout out to you Triple OG/Bass guru. Keep on booming!!!🔊🔊👍🏻
Thanks for sharing and teaching us "ME" about that!! Something else I now know because of YOU!!! You're AWESOME because no one else is doing what you do!!! So THANK YOU!!
Man.... been in car audio since 1992 at 16. 45 in a month. You are the Teacher and Preacher! Never heard so much truth and knowledge. Hooked!👍
Great video brother as always. Nothing but facts on your channel. Glad your finally getting recognized by the big names.
Thanks for answering my question with a video. Great work man keep it up!

question would 4 of these in an suv be better than 3 10's on the same watts rms per sub?
My brother, I gotta love you, your like someone's uncle just dropping those hidden secretes that you learn after years in the game. Stay up!
Man your knowledge is vast I really learn a lot from your videos
This video is my introduction to you and your channel. 5/5 first impression. I love your style. Subbed and bell ticked.
Great content as always! In running 2 deaf bonce apocalypse 3012s in my golf and I absolutely love them but in excited for the new L7 X because my old X's were loud af and they sounded great! It remains my favorite setup to date and I've been through a lot of subs lol
This video was right on time i have two l7 12” I’ve had them for years in several diff boxes finally got it right on my last build i was contemplating going sundown but I’m gonna stick with my l7
Great video brother! It's time people understand to run their subs correctly instead of jamming a bunch of subs in a little box. Then want to blame the brand for why it doesn't sound good. Keep up the good topics!💯
I love your take on this stuff. Ready for the next class 😃 I'd love to have you build for my 15 VW beetle hatchback. The SA 12 is in a nice"pre fab" it's sounds good now. I can only imagine how it would sound with your box.
Dude this guy is the man!!! Thank God for a man on KZread telling the truth about exactly why kickers higher end shit beats a lot of the competition in the same price range. Because after your skar and sundown are blown and or distorted thay kicker is still bangin hard as hell... I have a 12 inch l7 comp q in a 2.7 cub. Tuned to 30 and that fucker hits so hard people think I have atkeast 2 12s and a lot of the time I'll be asked what do you have in there a couple 15s... it was shaking my car while you were in front of me. Nope it's a kicker comp q 12 l7
The information is based on the science of sounds and how sound is creates. I love this information and I trust all of this guys information. I use the Q class in a single 8 enclosure in a Lexus LC500 and it believe me the output is incredible. Thanks for the awesome and truthful content.

Thus brother speaks my language. Man in all my years of sound systems I have NEVER heard someone answer my years of questions in a few minutes without asking any questions
NOW WITH INTO... SWEEEEET!!! Keep da knowledge coming bro! 💪🏾
MBE blowing up, my triple L7q8 is bad ass f$$$ thanks dawg! Gonna order my Compq 12 box soon my G.
Bruh your knowledge is unmatched 🙌
I was just looking at the Sundown u 10 v.2 and seen this video. Definitely appreciate the knowledge.
This show you did between sundown and kicker was a great battle with stats, views and opinions.
True beast 💪🏾Facts the truth hurts preach stop Hating let watch class is in session and get loud the right way.Keeping coming man .Maryland showing ❤️
Dig the intro man! Keep giving it your all!
Watching from U.K. England thanks man for the info here we have a lot of kicker lovers like myself and your right it's a lot to do with the enclosure box. I have two 12s comp q 4ohm 850 rms per sub looking for the right box. Can't wait xx
Its great to see someone who knows details..... I said it many times... If a system is done right you dont need all kinda big shit, you need to feed it power to get power! I had 3 10 inch POPS subs in an 87 Buick Regal Limited in a custom ported box on a 3,000 watts (or 4,000 it was the red & black amp with no fuse on it) Crunch amp Class D... People just knew i had like 4 12s or 3-4 15s.... Like NOPE 3 10s
Ι remember the 18s kicker solobaric X back in old years too strong bass nice video Boss
Cold with the attention to detail. Mad Scientist level skills
@4:14 you are 💯 i did this on my 2 x8s learning from you and they are the best 8 for me, im gonna buy some kickers because they support you
I loved how it started off. Good shit MBE 💪🏿😎
I'm picking up one of these L7 12 today. Kicker is one of the only companies designing stuff anyone. You take a CT, B2, Sundown, Skar and it really seems like the same design. Not that its bad, just good to see Kicker still trying to innovate. They look cool as hell too.

Good facts.... boxes make the sound not the speaker bigger the box deeper bass... but also if ur speakers can't handle the volume of air it will blow the coil.... GREAT INFO👍🏽👍🏽🤩

I appreciate your videos definitely good work and design. What’s your thought on JL audio 8W7?
Learning from the best thanks for class
This man be preaching.....no replacement for displacement and it depends on what space you have. Cause space is bass. Love listening to you.
Fantastic video, and I have question. What would you recommend for a 2011 Yukon none Bose setup. I actually want a stealth box behind the panel rear driver's side but open to suggestions
Loved the intro brother.
this man know his shit thanks for the info
Love the videos bro
I enjoy your videos, I don't really speak car audio language so these are very informative. So I measured the space I have to work with in my single cab, dimensions are 15h x 10w x 36l. What can I put in?

Finna drink this coffee, have my bacon and eggs, and go out to the garage myself! Scored an old ascendant audio chaos 18 unopened woooo!!!! Box time 8 ft3 @31hz aero
Love the video what do you think of the SSL subwoofer is it a decent subwoofer I know it's on the cheap side
Skar recommends 21.875 port area a piece for my Skar SVR D4 12s. I feel like I should go 16 square inches per cubic foot on a 4 cube net enclosure . Am I right or should I stick with the manufacturers recommended port area? I feel like you would be the man to ask.
Class in session that's why I subscribed
Love the intro
Could I add 2 8in Q class with the 10in Q class I have in my single cab pickup? Or would I be better off just adding one more 10in Q class with a custom box?
Love this channel because yes, I love subwoofers too....
At 8:08 are you talking Net after displacement? Or before displacement?
nice over view and explanation.
The u series will take more power imo , just lien usual so if it reliably takes twice the power you need twice the subs to be as loud , so now you have 1 sun as loud as 2 of the kickers in 1/3 the space . Kicker has stepped up the game huge just in the last 5 years tho and I really like the products coming out !
What's the ideal square in your opinion for the L7s 12in 2ohm 750rms
What are the specs for a box that I would need for two 12-in L7Q kicker's? Because at the moment I am running them in the biggest q bomb box that is designed for them.
For what I just heard base on volume in my 2018 cameo A round sub would be best base on trunk space ?
My mind just melted.
Is the kicker Q class VL712 ported subwoofer a good ? And does it hit good?
Great 👍 video sir always informative
Just wondering if you would ever put shallow 8s square, in the doors for mid bass. 🤔
So if I'm doing A. 2 8 box underneath my Silverado 2500. I should go with the kicker. Is that what you're saying? And another question that I have, do you sell boxes? It's my first time watching your video.
I have purchased RF R2-500X1 for my Dodge Challenger and was thinking about Kicker - L7T124 but I'm worried about low frequency response 25-100 Hz.
Nothing beats the right sub in the correct enclosure with the perfect power the subs need. I see people new to car audio go out and buy for example a taramps amplifier and some sundown sa subs and they are in a horrible enclosure with way too much dirty power just burning up the voice coils and it sounds horrible. It's cool that you are trying to help people with knowledge learned over years of experience.

MBE, Do you happen to know the factory enclosure size in a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer? I can’t find this info and my local shops haven’t helped. I have the factory alpine system. To my understanding it’s very similar to late grand Cherokees. 8” woofer, looking to replace it and some amps.
Deciding between 2- L7 8" ( non Q class 2- L7 8" (can't find any)) and 2- U8's, not really concerned with SPL, more quality, I have about .7 per chamber for a sealed down facing box going in a Lexus LS500 running 1000W Sundown amp. I'm torn what to go with!?
awesome video!! ty i could understand what you were saying!
So what would be the perfect box for 1 DC Audio level 6 15" sub? Asking for a friend lol
Real deal question here… daughters care has a 5 channel rated 750 on mono side.. does a clean 700 and dynamics to 950.. looking for single or dual 12’s that can fully use that low power.. I can get up to 8cubes if need be and still have 1/2 the truck available.. got 42 between the wheels. Little over 17 to the rear deck and squats out about 20” from seat backs.. I was looking to get her to a comfortable 140-143bd of a single good sub or dual lower mid levels.. for reference.. something like say 1 l7 Q vs 2 comp r’s to best use the limited power but not starve the drivers either.. pricing falls about right both ways for the budget too.. not even sold on ported tbh. Other then limited power I’ll need a bigger box and going reflex to best use the power. Here is the issue.. if I go single I want to do deep on the box and make it HO if dual it will be basic trapezoidal box.. both going to play similar even given the cone area.. she listens to everything from country to biggie.. to M so really leaning on a q in a deep sealed box as I don’t think the comp r’s will roll off a littler early according to programs unless I tune it really low.. then I’m giving up the drum bass higher up.. Open to any box or speaker setup but im not drilling 3k on her sub and amp.. 700-900 just isn’t really cutting it for here.. even looked at say two scars but they are too power hungry even being cheaper speakers.. Any ideas, thoughts recommendations on a driver that that fits this premise outside the the ones I’m already considering.. in all honestly I think the sgl l7q is likely the best overall. Oh and being a typical 5ch it’s only 2oh on the mono side
when you put the kicker L7 in a bigger than recommended sub enclosure, doesn't that put more stress on the sub's webbing/3 piece cone? you said its relying on the mechanical movement of the subwoofer because theres less air resistance inside the box... but wouldn't that wear out the sub's webbing/mechanical stuff faster? wonder why they wouldn't just recommend putting the L7 8's in a 1.5 cube box instead if its louder and runs cooler...?
What size box for 2 qclass 15s?
Man I hope u read post I have Nissan Frontier crew love my solos putting sound system together using Q power frontier 10 down firing box for 2x10” with L7T 10 and kicker passive radiator to fill other hole what are your thoughts about a set up like that
Planning to add a l7s to my 2013 odyssey, thinking I'll do a custom box and point it at the back glass for more spl, what's the biggest box I can make for that sub and it not sound like crap. I like loud boomy bass but the wife is complaining and saying i only get 1 8 so i figure the l7s class would be perfect! If I could find one I'd go with a q class
What about the Sundown U-10 it is a good sub for a trunk Chevelle size
Have you done an enclosure for 2 8 inch l7 and have a video of it
Now when the next class starts, do you want me to bring you an apple or some catfish 🤣 You remind me of my people around Jackson, Alabama! You ain't kin to any Phillips or Philes in Alabama are you?

I learn things different everyday I was just saying to my cousin don’t matter what subs you have it’s about the box you put some cheap subs in a spec made box an you get results like you got some high end speakers in the trunk or truck
Hey, what’s up bro I got a few questions. Hopefully you can answer them for me. So I want to buy some subwoofers But I want bass and I don’t know what to get it between 2 L7s 10” square Or 3 L7t 10” Square Which setup would make more bass
Now I am confused! I dont know if I should get two kicker 8's or two Dd's!
Hey boss i got a 12inch cerwinvega maxx with 2000 w 1000w rms. What kind n size box will it thump. Because i have it in a flatish box cus it was in my g35 small ass infinity trunk butt it would shut iff wen id turn it up .. if my amp is only 1000 w n it wasnt even turned up all the way
What’s the best box your that kicker 8’s

let me tell ya. I've got a 2019 ram. I've run sundown audio, Skar, DCaudio, B2's 12", 10" and trust me they all banged. But when I stepped up my game and bought a nicely built sub enclosure custom fit under my back seat. I listened to this dude about the air space. and how if you have more air travel you have more bass. he was pushing 8's I was like no way... I said screw it. I bought 2 kicker Q class L7 8"s in a ported box ran them in series. to about roughly 1400 rms and they took every bit. they are rated for I think the book said 550 rms each. but they pound. No one believes me that they are 8's! straight out flexing my panels in my truck . back glass ripples. roof looks the ocean during a freaking storm ! its nuts. I sound deadened my cab every panel . and I did upgrade all my speakers and amplified them as well. I'm telling you don't sleep on these kicker Q class L7 8's
U think i did good by buying tge cerwin vega maxx 1000 rms 12inch i know it can do more than what ive heard it do but my amp goes into protection mode butt i kno it should b able to handle it since i only have a jl club amp thats 1000 watss n the sub peaks at 2000w ...and....1000w rms whats my problem ay
