I'm considering upgrading to a Kicker 10" L7 in a stock, thin, ported box but it looks like they changed a few things recently in the 2011 models from the '08s, from what I can see the newer box is ugly as hell now and the sensitivity with it dropped 1.1db, seems to me like a step backwards.. or am i missing something? Any thoughts?
