any dimensions or anything? i'm also used to 2 of them in a huge box but i know this one should still be louder if in a proper install..

Bryan if you want deep bass get a vented. Them subs need air to really pound. You will hear and feel the difference between a sealed and ported box. On (2) 12's the ported overpowered the sealed without a question. Try looking on Kicker.com, they have the specs on there. Or go to Ebay. They sell some boxes for cheap. Be sure its what the specs on Kicker ask for.

I agree with the guy telling you to get a knew one its out rageous to get one fixed but ill tell you why it happend that L5 is not even capable of a 2000 watt amp the L7 is only 2000 so you have way to much power. you need about 1500 or 1800 and keep your gains at 1/4 to 1/2

as stated before, it also depends on what type of amp he has as to if it is " truly " pushing 2400 watts, cause that would have blown the L5 a long time ago, i used to sell kicker subs and if you tell kicker that you had more than the recomended wattage to the sub they will tell you to go pound sand, as for the question about selae dor ported, the L5 & L7 subs sound a hell of a lot better ported, if you call kicker direct and talk to there tech department they can telly ou the specs you need to make your sub sound just right

ill tell u what u need get a new speaker and sell ur amp to get a new amp to match the speakers power get a warranty in case u fuck up and blow the new speaker but if ne thing run 2 L7 and bridge it to make it = out the power to both speaker if its a class D amp i dont run kickers but in a few months im throwing 2 kicker L7 12' in my single cab and im runing the on 1200 watt class d kicker amp and other thin if u get a repaired speaker theres a big chan u could get riped and it blow again right when u put sound to it u know inless u know the people that repaired it
