2 15" Kicker L5 sealed
 

I am purchasing my next subs local which leaves me short on options as far as SPL subs go. I have been looking in to getting 2 15" Kicker L5's. I am not concerned with SQ at all however due to size constraints have been throwing around the idea of using a sealed box.

A search on the internet does not show many people using them sealed. Does anyone know what sort of performance I can expect when using them sealed at around 2ft3 per sub.

They will be powered by a MRP-M2000 at 4 ohm which they should see around 750w each.

As a point of reference the previous subs in the same vehicle were
2 - JL 12w3v3 sealed.

Any reason you are stuck on getting a pair of 15"?

Not stuck on it just limited with options. I have the local big box brands in town here and the options are even more limited on what I can actually listen to in store. L5's were at my store of preferance so I thought to research them out first.

In another post I asked about some Tsunami DB-15's which are the only other 15's I can demo in town, got no response.

Budget is around 800 for both subs.

If you can suggest something that will fit the bill better than the L5's I am all ears

I was going to suggest going with a pair of 12"s ported. I would also check out Mach 5 Audio IXL series... Very good SQL with great bang for buck

Any thoughts about the pre loaded Kicker 12" L5 package. Are they the typical high tuned boxes are do they maintain any SQ (I know that SQ doesn't go in the same sentence as L5's)

I would need to research the Mach 5's a bit more. My only concern was keeping it local for warranty work etc... but if they have a good rep I am less concerned.

Those pre loaded enclosures will do well, but I wouldn't count on getting much SQ outta it.

A pair of L5 12"s would be a great combo though.

Well that may well be the way to go. The pre loaded dual 12's ring in at the same price as dual 15's without the box. I have been so let down with output on my last few subs that I want to get this one right. Maybe i'll chat up Yuli for a price on some TF One's as well

Here's an enclosure I designed for "Crashman2K9's" 2 12" L5's. They just fit in the box. Not sure what vehicle you have. His was a 2000 stang and was really tight on space.

You could fit one 15" TF One in a box with the same volume and it will take the MRP-M2000 you have without any problems.

Yes I am quickly learning that most who don't use large ported for the L5's are disappointed. I think my idea of shopping locally is out the window. I have pm\d Yuli for a price and am looking in to the Mach 5's

honnestly go with 2 12's
2 15's will kill ur SQ by alot

i had to beef up ma interior speaker from 40rms to 100rms speaker's all around so that when the bass drop it doesnt kill the sound
