im using a lightning audio x1.2000.1d on mine, and I set the gains to 2000w at 1 ohm with a 40hz, -6db tone. Works fine, and hits hard.

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

on both of your subs, yea. That sub can only handle 1000w rms a piece. Sound's like you need one my Orion H2's........They laugh @ 2000w rms.

More power to ya JMAN, keep in mind that the amp that you have is at best 75% efficient......75% of 2000=1500.................It seems as though you are still pushing your subs with no problem, I thought they were only 1000w rms though, my badd.

yo wtf, im just wonder if i can push about 1700 rms to a 15in l7

efficiency has nothing to do with the power output of the amp. it has to do with how much current it draws from the battery.

noob.

YES or NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

Supposedly no. You can go to Kickers' website and look up the specs on that sub, and it will tell you that it can handle 2000/1000 peak/RMS.

I'm doing it now and it's working fine. Just set your gains right and don't crank it overly hard for too long and it'll be fine.

Yeah...you need to try again.

 

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

LOL, you think that efficiency has nothing to do with how much power that amp REALLY pushes.............LOL. You call me a noob, and you are telling this guy that he can run 2K rms to a L7 15............You are nutz.

I understand what you are saying JMAN, but the thread say's:

Re: Can a 15 l7 handle 2000 rms daily????

Simple, no. Now if you are talking about using a 2K w amp and keeping the gain down low then yes you can. But that kinda defeats the purpose of this post.
