What's up guys!!!

I have 2 12 inch L7's in a piece of sh!t prefab ported box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif .

I'm pushing them with a A2400DB Power acoustik amp. I have the subsonic filter, bass boost and low pass turned all the way down, But I have the main gain about 3/4 high.

The amp puts out 1,400 watts Rms and my subs handle 1,500 Rms (pair)....

Am I gonna fry my subs with this amp ?

That is a stupid question... You say you are giving them less than their RMS, so how would you think you could damage them? Unless you are clipping your amp..

And //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif the SSF and LPF should NOT be all the way down... And You should set your gain correctly, not just set it in a random location.

Well lets see, if you have 1.4kW true rms going to a pair of subs that handle 750 true rms each, then as long as you listen appropriately, then you should have no problems.
