15" l7s on 2k or 3k watts?

[BassHead99 10+ year member]

I have a chance of getting a RF t30001 amp for pretty cheap and using it with 2 15" L7s. I was wondering whether you guys think i should get 2 4ohm subs and run them off 3000w or go with 2 2ohm subs and run them at 2 ohms at 2000w? If i set my gains correctly I shouldnt really have a problem should I? I just dont want to regret not going with the 3000w by running them off 2000w instead.

I was running one at 2500 watts, it took it really good, volume control though.

get the D4 and run them at 1 ohm. as long as its clean unclipped power you'll be fine. also what year models are they?

go with the dual 4ohms. L7's can take the power as long as you don't go overboard

they may blow up. often times L7's blow up so spectacularly the cone will shoot right off and destroy whatever is in its path.

so far ive lost a girlfriend, a grandmother, and boxfan.

My L7 takes a lot of power, but I have to be careful with how long I play it hard.
