The two Kicker L7's wired in series [connecting the two voice coils of each driver in series (+ to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +)] will produce a 2 ohm load on an amplifier. The total power that the subs can handle is 1500 watts RMS(root means square). I recommend to you...

Foote, your head unit has Left and Right RCA outputs. If you have multiple RCA outputs, the one that reads "sub" is the one you want to connect to your first sub amp. If you have a crossover, you will need to connect the RCA's to the crossover's Left and Right input. Make sure you can tell...

Thanks for the compliment on #7 Prowler, I appreciate it. The Kicker 06S12L7-2 12" 750 watts RMS Dual 2 Ohm Solo-Baric L7 Subwoofer can handle 750 watts RMS(root means square) of continous power. Peak power, what that is is what the speakar can handle in one short burst of power of one...

Just in case( I got this from a website in geocities): How does a Battery Isolator work? It's an electronic sealed unit that contains two diodes. Diodes permit current to flow in one direction only. Power supplied to the middle stud of the Battery Isolator flows to each of the other studs...

Super, on post #12 you mention that both amps are grounded to the battery ? You are supposed to "ground" the amps to the vehicle's chassis, not to the battery. Since you have two amplifiers, I suggest you get a fused distribution block. You will have a red wire thats connected to your...

XXGreatDane, I suggest the MTX SLH-T7512X2-D Sledge Hammer 12" 1600 Watt @ 2 Ohms Dual Loaded Sub Box with slots. It's $559 on Woofersetc.com To power that those subs I recommend the Rockford Fosgate T8002 which is rated at 800 watts x 1 channel @ 2 ohms, which is exactly what the subs...

From experience I can tell you to always disconnect the postive cable amp to battery connection, you know pull out the fuse. I've "fried" an MTX 2300x by not doing that one night. I was readjusting the + and - connections on the amp and I saw a bright spark and a heard a loud spark noise, and...

NY, there is a rule of thumb. You first buy the speakers/subs then you buy an amp according to the speaker's needs. So you choose the type of subs you want to use, then you look for the amp that will power them. Of course you have to look at the impedance(ohms) the sub will put on the amp...

UCBizerkely, the Alpine Dual Voice Coil 2 ohm Type R subs are rated at 500 watts rms. Don't go by the Peak Power rating, because all that means is what the speaker can handle in one short burst of power(watts) lasting no more than a second or so, not countinous power handling. Go by the...

Yo123, your amp is clipping, its a safety feature that way it won't blow or fry the circuitry. I think that your subs impedance load on the amp is causing it. I always tell people to first buy the speakers and secondly buy the amp. Don't try to match the amp to the speaker, but the speaker to...

From what I understand, as of now you don't have either the sub or the box, right ? On this web adress diplayed below, it will show you some 10" MTX Sledge Hammer subs already mounted and wired in boxes w/slot made to specs...

Havocide, yes the 12" L7's wired in parallel would put a 1 ohm load on an amplifier. The L7's specs state that the MAX power handling is 750 watts RMS. Remember, don't go by the Peak Power. What Peak Power means is what the speaker can handle in one short burst of power of one second or less...

Armi, on a serious note. Are you going to be driving the tractor for a living or is this just for fun ? Then you have to decide if you want an SPL system or a SQ system. I'm past that "ridiculous bass" stage. I used to fantasize about like 24 12" JL 12W6's in the back of a Chevy Silverado...

I don't even mess around with eBay or none of that. Too many crooks out there and the bad thing is, a lot of agencies out there, even the Attorney General can't do a darn thing to that person but relay your message to them. You could take that person to small claims court, I don't know what...

Xclusive, always check out a company on the Better Business Bureau. Also, Visa credit cards amongst others have certain credt card plans where you can cancel a payment. You can call Visa, once you've purchased something, and say for example you haven't received it or they won't send it to you...
