2-L7’s Tundra first build

[Charleyr]

I have an 08 Tundra with 2- 12” L7S122 in individual Solo-Baric box. I have a kicker 1200 pushing both currently and need to add more power. Keep in mind this is my first build. My question is I need to upgrade my alternator first to a 250. What am I getting into when I do that? Just a new one or do I need to add a battery and…

Are you going to run them two ohms or ½ ohm?

 

[Charleyr]

They are currently 2 Ohm

They are currently 2 Ohm

You should do the big 3/4 when you change your alternator. See how it does after that. If your voltage is dropping too much then add another AGM.

When you say 'need to add more power' is your voltage dropping? Or are you talking about adding more power in the amp department?

I don't think that Kicker amp is strong enough to power both of those subs @ 2 ohms.

The L7S are 1500 combined and I’ve got 1200 currently, so I need a larger amp. I have voltage drop with the 1200 when I’m pushing them
