Hey guys, first post here, big time noob when it comes to car audio. I am thinking about getting a 12 Kicker L7, in a vented box to specifications, but I do not understand the dual 2 ohm and the dual 4 ohm that I could buy, is there really any difference, and which amp should I get with which ohm. Sorry for the stupid question, I jsut don't understand ohms and subs and amps thanks. This is goign in an 04 tahoe with Bose.

I recommend a dual 4 ohm sub with the kicker 750.1. Wire the sub in parallel down to 2 ohms, which will be you final impedance. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thank you, know do yall reccomend those Kicker amps or should I go with a rockford.

If I can wire that sub down to 4 ohm wouldnt it be easier to just bu a 2 ohm or no thanks

I highly recommend the kickers amps. Very strong IMO and underrated. Also the l7's only come in dual voice coils so in order to get to 2 ohms where the 750.1 puts out max power you would need a dual 4 ohm (as in 2 4 ohm voice coils) and wire them in parallel to a 2 ohm load.

I looked at the birth sheet for the 750.1 today at work and it was 942 rms! Pretty underrated if you ask me.
