Default WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE

Which one would be best in a coupe. Would there be that much of a difference to make up for the cost.

1. $350 use 10" kicker freeair my friend gave me and have local place put it in w/custom box for coupe.
box=100
amp=100
wires=40
adaptor=45
labor=65

2. $600-700 get new kicker 10" L7 but amp is expensive to push so much speaker
box=100
amp=200-300
speaker=150
wires=40
adaptor=45
labor=65

thanks,
Kenneth

A free air sub wont hit even close to as hard as a L7. Also, I don't know what kind of amp they are gonna give you for $100.

Put an L7 in there and be done with it instead of wishing you had.

do you think the solorbaric L7 is worth twice the price. will it be to loud in the coupe?

I can do 700 if i have to but just want to make sure it is worth it.
