[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1897994, member: 561023"] For starters you do not have a "2 Ohm amp." Amplifiers either will or will not operate safely at any given resistance load. Said resistance load will be determined entirely by the voice coil configuration of the sub(s) being used and the manner in which they are wired. If you have a single Solobaric L7 and that L7 has Dual 2 Ohm voice coils your available wiring options are for a final load of 1 Ohm if the coils are wired in parallel like this: [IMG]http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_2ohmDVC_1ohm.gif[/IMG] [I][B]or[/B][/I] A 4 Ohm final load when the coils are wired in series such as this: [IMG]http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_2ohmDVC_4ohm.gif[/IMG] Now ~ armed with this information (and it is inarguable fact...those two options are the only two that exist for you with that particular subwoofer) go find yourself an amplifier that will make appropriate power for that L7 at either a 1 Ohm load or a 4 Ohm load. According to the info I have found that MA Audio amp is rated for 500w X 1 @ 4 Ohms, 600w X 1 @ 2 Ohms, and 1200w X 1 @ 1 Ohm. I do not know if this is a high input voltage rating or if it is accurate wattage output. If it near close to the truth that amp should work fine for your Solobaric L7 running at 1 Ohm and be careful with the gain setting.
