FI Q vs L7

[beaux 0]

I've been a loyal kicker fan for years. I've been sold on an 18" Fi Q but I just need a little reassurance that it can have more output than a 15" L7 with 1000 watts rms. I know the Q will have better SQ but I mostly listen to country so not a lot of hard bass to keep up with. I have enough room to port either of the two.

Out put is based on the install. You can get the Q very loud if you want, and you can choose options to fit your needs.

What really is your issue? Do you want it louder or to sound better? To me its a no brainer, I couldn't handle having an L7 in my car period. Are you using the same amp? That L can take a lot more than you are throwing at it so the SPL portion shouldn't be that hard, the satisfaction of having a sub that can blend with your frontstage will only come with the Q and not the Kicker.
