Title: Kicker L7 10's in WO
Post by gskillet on 02/19/07 at 00:36:11

Well I built my new WO 36x36 with 2 10 inch L7's, they are very loud but sound like ass. I am gonna try reducing the chamber volume with some blocking. since using WIN ISD the 4th order volume sould be .75 cubes. and If i did my math right I have 1.25, does this sound right? My old 10 inch CVR's are in the 36x36 WO with no blocking and they sound great.But I'm looking for a bit more volume. I would go with a regular slot ported box, but it seems every kid with a rattling trucnk has one. I like to do things a little differently.
Any advice? Suggestions?

Well I added blocking and gave it a try. It just seems like the l7's are moving way to much air for this enclosure. So I just built 100 bux worth of firewood... lol.. Now i will just build the generic slot ported trunk rumbler for them.

can you not remove the baffles and put different subs in? I've wanted to try L5's or L7's in a WO for years. I guess I'm glad I didn't. I LOVED my RE SE's in mine.

Well I gave the box to a buddy of mine he's gonna put in new baffles and go with some older sony's. I had them in my current box and they sounded good. This makes 3 of these I have built. I love the box. Steve did a great job figuring this thing out. But with the high excursion of the L7's it huffs like a steam locomotive, But it is incredibly LOUD. If ya have time and a extra sheat or 2 of MDF lemme know if you have better results.

What if one were to use 8" L5's or L7's?

with two 12 L7's and 1500 watts you can get into the mid 140's with a regular ported box
