just got the L7 from a friend, powering it with mrp m1000.

i have the 12" L7 and im planning on powering it with a mrp m1000 amp. its a two ohm sub but im deathly afraid of blowing it by pushing out 1000 watts on it. should i try to wire the sub to be 4 ohms so it only gets 600 watts?

Man , if i knew i could power subs with subs i would have never spent money on these useless amps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

you'll be fine with 1000 watts on it, just set the gains properly

A 12" L7 is rated for 750 watts RMS. Also you stated them sub as a dual 2 voice coil so your either gonna wire it 4 ohm or 1 ohm. That amp is only 2 ohm stable so you can only use that amp and wire at 4 ohm. I will tell you this though, a 12 L7 can handle 1000-1200 rms clean power. So my suggestion to you is choose a different amp. You can find alot of amps in that same price range that will do the power I mentioned above @ 1 ohm. Hope this helps bud!

so i'd be fine wiring it at 4 ohms to only getting 600 watts? i like to crank my sub somewhat often and im just worried cause this is the same amp that blew a pair of subs that could have handled around the same amount as the L7

Yeah that would be fine, under powered but fine. Ive never heard of anyone blowing a sub by under powering it.

okay thanks, appreciate it a lot man.

This. You blew the other subs by clipping the the signal due to not having your amp set properly. Make sure you read up on that before repeating.
