is this enough power for a L7

[mutt_hollon 10+ year member]

Ok i have heard that L7 are power hungry...this i know. i know the kicker manual says that in a ported box an L7 has 600 watts RMS. well I have a Ma audio amp (1600 watts 2 channel. but im running it at 700 x 2 and just have one channel going to the sub.) I have heard that you need to puss the L7's over the RMS limit but is 100 watts over enough.

By the way this sub is in a 2.75 cubes box with a 6f 16volt cap, and in the back of an s-10 zr-2. And just for the people who are thinking of buying L7's, this is the hardest hitting sub i have ever owned. i am just coming from 3 10" Audioban aw-1000. i used the same amp and let me tell you my 1 12" L7 is almost twice as loud and way deeper. the 3 10's were in a car also but my i am in love with the L7. i wish i could put another but not enough space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Anyway thanks for any help

that amp should be fine, a lot of ppl on here throw 1000rms to it

is your box sealed or ported?

Sure you can throw 1000 rms to it but take a guess as to how long your going to have a functioning sub? 800 rms max imo.

Quite awhile actually.....One of the most common combos we do/did was a KX1200.1 with a single L7 10 or 12.

I have never really been too keen on the L7s-L5s every single on I installed just did'nt seem to want to handle that much power, we got best results from 800rms I guess everyones opinions different.

JLman

what box are you putting them in??

 

[Mike yayo 10+ year member]

i got 2 15 l7 and i think anything past 1100 would kill them, even though i heard people giving them 1600 watts my coils already start to smell.

The l7s aren't power hungry subs, but they can handle some power though. Atleast the 06s can. Ive ran 2kw to each l7 15, and they took it like champs.

700 to each is fine. Your not competing so youll be fine.

 

[mutt_hollon 10+ year member]

It's in a 2.75 cube ported box tuned to 35 (I think). i think i will stick with 700 RMS thanks guys.
