Radio Replacement.....

[StickShiftCamry]

We'll put it this way: I'm actually worried that I will A) blow/crack the windshield down the center, or B) blow the seal out, and have the thing go flying off the car. Although the 8l7 can't be discounted. Last year, kicker built an spl vehicle with 1 8l7, and hit ~160db. That of course was a very specialized install, and car.

See.

Camry: That took a lot of engineering for kicker to be able to do that, I dont think joe blow on the street will be able to even come close. They probably hit that db at somewhere near 60 hz on a burp, that system would sound crappy to listen to. Lets see how your 8 does at 20 hz . That is where my 18 shines.

Btw, rebuilt the box(down to 4.9 cu ft):

Camry: Also, you are downgrading if you go to cvr's. They are a couple levels below the l7. If you wanna go round 12's get the cvx's, if you have to stay with kicker that is. There are a lot better subs out there for your money......

LOL, can't do 20hz. Overall, nice to listen to, cuz the headunit has a seperate sub level control, I have it turned mad low. PPl don' expect mad bass and loud wide range voice comin out of a fresh clean CX-7, I like drivin by X5's & FX's, among other new cars. Cuz theres Bass, then theres Bass accompanied by properly equalized vocals and highs.

CX-7 Heaven - I ripped the wires within the L7. U know if it can be repaired? ur into subs u'll know what i'm talkin about. My L7 is 5 yrs old, so Warranty is over, they repaired that same problem once for free, actually they just gave me a new one, but it happened again, its so simple, the wire that goes from the spring loaded connecter to the gluey area under the woofer. I'm gonna use a twin S8L7 setup when/if I get it repaired.

Any electronics repair shop shoul dbe able to do it for ya, but if this has happened already, I would take the opportunity to buy me some nice new shiny stuff!!!

Well I'm using new 2007 CVR 12"s now. But will eventually go back to the compact looking but surprising bass of twin S8L7's. Found some local speaker repair shops in the business pages.

that speaker can be repaired, but it'll probably happen again. I had a set of JL w6 10" subs like 10yrs ago that had this same problem. It was caused by too much heat. I was overpowering the woofers with my amp and it caused them to overheat and that was the result. Just as an FYI...

Tnx, sounds rite.

 

[lisevolution]

no problem and good luck
