No doubt that the JL's will sound better.

I swear that kicker L7's may be the worst subwoofers that I have ever heard. They are very slopply sounding.

I'm not a JL fan, but 10 times out of 10 I would go with them over the kickers. I do like kicker's amps, but I still go with the JL's over them too.
