it all depends on your enclosure.
you have your kickers in a shitty enclosure.. i have some cheap walmart subs in a way better enclsure. i bet mine would sound better.
You have to make sure the enclosure meets the specs of the sub to get the perfect sound for those subs.

each pair of subs would be wired to a rockford x7.. so 1700rms, so 850rms each.. think they would handle it good? i know the mtx's would. why does no one think the mtx would be louder?

Actually the MTX subs will be louder if both sub boxes are built properly.
The ability for a speaker to displace air is a function of two factors , the cone area and the linear excursion capability of the subwoofer. So even though the MTX subs have less cone area they make up for it with a lot more throw ( Vd = sd x Xmax) . If you do the math, MTX 9500 total displacement is 1.826 m^3 (.0356x25.65mm x 2 subs) and the kicker L7 total displacement is 1.159 m^3 (.0439x13.2mm x 2 subs) .
As a matter of fact two MTX 9500 10's will be like having 3 square 10's!!!
If you want to save a few bucks go with the 8500 series 10's cuz two of them will be a little bit louder than 2 square 10's as well.
