How's this setup? (will have pics)

How's this setup? I'm putting it in a 2000 pontiac firebird (hatchbatch)

Kicker KX1200.1 Mono Class D Amplifier

Kicker L7 S15L7 Sub 15 inch Dual 2 Ohm Subwoofer (2006 model)

Massive Audio CAP2 Car Audio 2 Farad Digital Amplifier Capacitor

(getting a dry cell battery soon - not now :X)

Pioneer DEH-P5900IB Car Audio MP3 WMA CD Deck

Going to have a custom box made for it (ported I belive would be my best bet)

and Stinger SWKH0 HPM Series 0 Gauge Car Audio Amp Kit

any ideas? setup? will it pound?

I dont think the zx1200 is one ohm stable.

i think you could do without the cap, but everything else looks good to me

Those are incorrect specs...

First of all, you can not bridge a mono amplifier, also all Kicker's mono amps are rated for 2 ohms.

Those specs are way wrong.

1200 x1 at 1 ohm birdged huh??

I don't know anything about systems, ohms or anything so lol someone explain?

the sub is doule(sp) voice coil 2ohm therefore there are 4 sets of terminals each pair aquiring a 2 ohm load. When you wire the woofer you could either wire it into 1ohm or 4ohm load, parallel or series. An amp puts out different amounts of power to different ohm loads. most of the time the lower the ohm load the more watts it puts out, but lots of amps arent 1 ohm stable meaning they cannot produce power at 1 ohm and will BLOW UP ALL OVER THE PLACE j/p but will damage the amplifier.

an amp puts out power at a certain ohm load. the kx1200.1 does 1200 watts rms X1 at 2 ohms. so you would need subs that come out to a 2 ohm load when wired together.

 

[talon2nr7588 10+ year member]

as for the setup, that would do fine. the kx1200.1 is stable down to .5 ohms

Some Kicker Amps are rated at 2 ohms others at 1 ohm...My SX 1250.1 is rated at 1 ohm

BASTARD, don't say it's gonna blow up rofl i'll get pics when I get em and ill show my install afterwards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
