Kicker L7's That Would Be My Personal Opinion. My Boyfriend is Always Messing With Speakers So I Know A lot About Them.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want something that's going to do good SPL numbers and handle lots of power (700watts and up for the L7), then go with the Kicker. If you are looking for better sound quality, then Boston will do better. It does not handle as much power as the Kicker but it is a tremendously better sub for overall SQ. Of course, ID Max will do better than Boston with SQ but still, in comparison of these two, that's the scoop.

Boston Acoustics has been around for years. They are a widely used brand for audiophiles who demand a break from the norm and are looking for more acoustically perfect sound. Kicker has been around for something like "forever" and is reknown for their ability to hit hard and loud. They are choice of many competitors and enthusiasts alike and work really well for sound off, strong SPL numbers, and to make ppl know you are coming down the street. I've used and like both.

I've been around alot of Kicker speakers and a few Boston Acoustics and I'd say by far that Kicker Subs pound way more with less watts and less cubic feet in enclosures.

Kicker L7's are the best next to the SoloX. Boston acoustics are lesser known, and to my knowledge the kicker sounds better anyway.
