what are you looking for? SQ, SPL, a mix of both?

the L7 is a SPL sub that has crappy sound quality. so if u want it to be just loud, then thats your sub.

however if you want to maintain the sound quality, the type-r would be your sub.

whats your budget? maybe theres a better sub for you needs...

Thanks for your responses. I'm looking for a mix of both SPL and SQ. Budget is around 400 max for a pair. Is there something better than those 2?

Do you have an amp already? What kind? What kind of vehicle is it going into?

L7s don't just have bad SQ, the build quality sucks big time
