I have a 2009 dodge charger the amp I have is a Audioque 2200.I am tryna figure out which subwoofer is better for me.My two choices are the Ssa icon 12"s or the kicker l7 12"s I like loud and also it is a daily driver.Thanks for any suggestions.

which ever one YOU want and the one that fits your budget. I'm gonna take a guess and say everyone will say get the Icon.

I want a car that goes fast, my options are every fast car. Which one should I choose? See where I'm going with this?

Get the icon, I've run kicker in the past and not that impressed.

iv had the l7 12's and the ssa ZCON not icon. i will say the l7's will get louder than the icons. BUT the icons will sound better soundquality wise. so heres what im thinking for you, if u want loud and dont care much about sound quality, go with the l7's, if u want mainly sound quality but still has the ability to get loud, go with the icons.

^^ x2. i ran 1 2011 kicker l7 15 in 4cubes ported on a zx1500.1 for 2 or 3 months. got LOUD for 1 15, but it sounded like poop.. literally......

Come on man I'm asking thinking maybe someone has owned both and can give there opinion on which sub preformed better sounded cleaner even got louder..As far as budget they are around the same price..

[Blitz08]

Lantz thank you very much I appreciate it..The other ass sorry I didnt ask the question but the other guys seem to get what I was saying.Do you see where I'm going??

Icon $284
if you search enough you can find L7's for half the price.

I've had the L7 and just about every subwoofer ever produced by the GOOD internet companies. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd be running a well known, mass produced subwoofer. You have to make compromises and only YOU will know what you like. You may have everyone on this forum vote for the Icon. When you buy one and install it, you may find you don't like it at all. That doesn't mean everyone was wrong, just means you didn't agree.

For what you have listed for requirements, I can say either sub will do that. Those that say the L7s sound like shit, well, I will just leave it at that.

I have heard both on the same power but different vehicles and to be honest i thought the icon was louder. Which is why i am now running icons. Also the boxes where identical except for the cut out for the sub.

no one's trying to rain on your parade. but if you would have read all the rules, then you would've understood why you got the response you did.

[Blitz08]

Thanks harvester51 that's the sub I was leaning towards and have now made my decision I wish I had room for 15"s I've heard those in icons they were nice..

To the other guy seems like a few guys were able to answer my question without a problem.

[harvester51]

No problem man the icon will get very loud and low in a proper enclosure and i only have one right now im trying to figure out how to get 2 of these beast in a single cab pickup.

I own a Icon, and I've experienced a few l7s. I will say Icon hands down for many reasons I chose not to list so that I may avoid the name of "nuthugger" but would list if you so request.
