2 Kicker CVR's vs. Kicker L7

[brian1226 10+ year member]

i now have 2 Kicker CVR's (2ohm) hooked up to a kicker zx750.1 (750 rms @ 2ohm, 375 @ 4ohm). My friend is selling his Kicker L7 for $100 to me (not sure if its 2ohm or 4ohm but give opinion on both) what would u rather have with that amp?

L7,even thought i like th CVR's they dont sound to good but they get kinda loud with the right amp.

sizes of subs

well it seems like the L7 is only 4ohm and its rms is 50-750.. my amp only puts out 375 @ 4ohms but my 2 kickers cvr's are wired @ 2ohms and my amp puts out 750 @ 2ohms soo wouldnt the crv's be better?

ok on a serious note, size really does matter you didn't tell us the size of the woofers, if were comparing 2 of the same size ( 12" cvrs and a 12" L7) than assuming its a dual 4 coil L7 run the L7, if you cannot run the full 750watts to it, your losing cone area and cutting power in half that be the case keep the cvrs

i guess for the amp u have the 2 u have now yes would be better.

the l7 is 750 rms and it is dual 4...you will be getting at least 750 watts out of your amp

dude, if it's a dual 4 ohm, wire it so yo have a final load impedence of 2 ohms....

ohh **** good looks, soo would this hit harder than the set up i got now? (2 kicker cvr's).. also, is it good that the max rms on the sub and amp are equal?

not necessarily. it's not bad, but it's always good to run a bit bigger amp, because much of the time subs are underrated. you can always have a little more power, but not use it, as opposed to working an amp too hard-thus sending a clipped signal. but it should do ok. first of all, box is going to be key. my brother has two cvr tens with a kenwood amp, and for what they are, they really do bump. not all that low, but they hit high 30's decently. on the other hand, one of my friends from school just got his two l7 twelves stolen, but i heard them beforehand. the difference was the box. the lsevens are better subs, but it all depends on the box. the cvrs were actually louder than the lsevens, because they were in a great ported box, while the lsevens were in a crappy sealed box. sorry for writing a novel, but i would just say, buy the sub, keep it a while, try it out a few different ways, and eventually get/build a box and tune it for your specific needs. then upgrade amps, and you will probably get alot more and especially lower deeebeeez from your lseven

alright, thanks a lot man. the box is deff important and i'll make sure i'll hook it up in the right one and try em both out
