My thoughts on the best 8” subwoofer of all time! In my opinion. Cone area is king and the L7 has the most.

Kicker is certainly no underdog, they are one of the three car audio OG's that made a name for itself many decades ago. Kicker, JL Audio, & Rockford Fosgate are the grand fathers of car audio & all started in the 1970's.

@@M.B.Enclosures Did yours get warm/stinky when you first broke them in? I heard the silverado I did last time with the 4 soundqubed 8s, heard it side by side with the f150 with 4 Q L7 8s, the silverado is actually louder, the L7s get a lil warm and stinky and I used an oscope to tune everything, they still feel really stiff so they may just need to break in. The amp is a kicker kx2400 and I gave the gain set quite a bit lower than clipping and the head unit is not clipping either, also used oscope to find point of distortion on the head unit. Box is on the smaller side only about 2 cubes net but that was the biggest I could fit under the seat without it sticking out past the seat. I used a 4 inch aeroport as well. How long did the L7s take to break in?

I believe that Kicker truly has made themselves the underdog, not so much in the build quality or the brands capabilities, but in their pricing, there are so many brands that are considerably cheaper, and are consistently seen in the lanes, the customer buys what they see performing and Kicker really relegated themselves to daily driver bump in the trunk, of course there will be bassheads that remember the heyday but when you can buy a comparable sub (on paper) for half the price it kinda puts Kicker on the shelf albeit the top shelf, sometimes the top shelf is out of reach.
