[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 2488106, member: 570956"] Well I don't really have the money to get a nice SQ setup, and I've basically got everything setup for SPL right now inadvertantly, so I'm trying to decide what I should do. I've got a Cadence ZRS-9 Amplifier, 1000W@2Ohm, 2000@1Ohm. The other speakers are just mid range sony's powered by a mid range sony amp, nothing special. I have an Audiobahn Eternal sub 12'' DVC 4 Ohm which I'm running 1000W to at 2Ohms. Basically...it's not that great right now. It gets decently loud, but nothing crazy, but my car has so many rattles that I can't tune anything for SQ. I'm also running a CarPC... What I'm thinking of is selling my Audiobahn, I think I can actually get about $170 for it and the box, and buying a Kicker '06 S15L7 and putting it in a big ported box. Ok now to the questions.... I know the S15L7 is rated at 1000W RMS, but I routinely here people talking about taking L7's way beyond their ratings with no problems. Should I buy the 4 Ohm version and give it 1000 RMS or could it hold up to 2000 RMS with the 2 Ohm version? Or if you think it's possible to decent SQ how would I go about doing this?
