Kicker or ssa

[basshead08 0]

Finally I am looking for a 15" sub for my truck. The box is going to be about 3.75 cubes tuned to 33 with appr. 1200 wrms.

Here are the two subs I have narrowed down to...

15" Kicker L7 for $185 shipped

15" SSA Icon $230 shipped

I have never heard an icon but I have read great reviews on them. I have dealt with kicker for a few years now and have always been satisfied with their subs. My question is will the ssa icon be noticeably better street beating than the L7 even though the L7 has more cone area.

they both will get loud but the icon will sound much much better

Is it $50 worth of better sound is the question. I don't mind spending the extra money if it is really gonna be that dramatic of a difference but I'm just looking for the most bang for my buck here.

indeed it is..but we can wait for others to chime in but i would have no problem in saying it is easily worth the difference in sq

You know you like Kicker, but the Icon has piqued your interest. Buy the Icon and try it out. If you don't like it, you can easily sell it and still have enough money to buy the L7.

very, very true.

i would vote the ICON over the kicker as well. the L7 is an awesome driver, but in larger, street beater type boxes, they do tend to get muddy, IME. i own both (well a cvx) and i prefer the ICON.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
