if you plan to buy another l7 in the future then for the time being buy a cheap 2ch. amp. if you only plan to run this single sub then buy a decent mono amp that does max power at 1ohm. and i love my kicker comp so id reccomend them to you....but ur radio needs a big change...just keep reading you will get it. takes time

I see that amp puts out 330W RMS into a 4 ohm load, so you can still use it but it won't be quite what you were hoping for. You need to swap out the amp or the sub, whichever you choose, and make their impedances match.

So I should wire it in series instead of bridged? i'll go do that right now.

why would you just go do something but yet u dont know if its correct? and buy ur amp off this website please....and dont get scammed.

u got a digital mlti meter? use it to make sure yor amp is seeing 4ohms

Noooooooo!! You can't do that. You can't just re-wire to get the 2 ohm load you're looking for.

 

[dr_peeb 10+ year member]

Your sub can not be wired by itself in such a way that it is a 2 ohm load.

It can only be wired to be a 1 ohm or a 4 ohm load ... Nothing else.

Edit: 4 ... I meant 4 there. 1 ohm or a 4 ohm load ... Not 2.

I have two new build posted right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A dual 4 ohm sub can be wired to be the 2 ohm load your amp needs in order to put out its max wattage.
