well i got 2 2002 L7's on a kx 1200.1. they r in a 1.75 per sub ported box i think its tuned to 33 or 35. well it sounds fine but when i c ppl and there L7's, there in a big *** box. what i want to know is how big of a diff will a bigger box make? right now i have them in a benz and the trunk is not to big but i can still fit in a bigger box....should i get a bigger box? or should i wait till my next car wich i plan to keep for a long time? it will be about a year till i get my next car so should i wait or will the bigger box sound so much better that i shouldent wait???

2 Questions before answering:
1) What size L7: 8, 10, 12 or 15?
2) 1.75 cubes each L7 (3.5 total) or 1.75 for both of them (0.875 per sub)?

Give us that and we'll go from there.

If those are 12"s or bigger I would definitly go with a bigger box. Those L7's are meant to play DEEP notes! I'd have each of those in like 2.5cubes worth of space, or even bigger if you prefer. That is if you were able to get a box that big to fit in your car.

I've made 3 different boxes for a 12L7. 2 ported and 1 sealed. IMHO, double the size if you're going to keep it ported. 1.75 cubic feet is barely enough for a sealed box, unless you intend to throw a LOT of power at them. Just my experience of course.
