Ampless and looking
This is the speaker I have. I can run this as a 4 or 1 ohm load. Are there any benefits for running a 1 ohm load other than watts per dollar? Is there any more stain on the electrical system between the two?
A local shop was trying to sell me a kicker sx1250.1. It was a good deal but still a lot of money. Wouldn’t that amp be a little too much for a single L7?
I was also looking at the alpine mrd-1005. Supposedly that’ll put out 700@4 ohm which seems like a good fit for a speaker with a 750 watt rms rating.
Both of these amps are in the upper end of my budget. Anything lower than that I’m clueless. This is where some of your recommendations come in to play.
I have 4 gauge running in the car now. If I was to get the sx1250.1 I would be upgrading my wire to 0 gauge. Good idea if going that route right? I would need to add an amp for my highs later on anyway.
I’ve had two amps in my car already to test some things out. One was a planet audio vx900d and a kicker 1200.1. The kicker shut my whole car down when wired for 1 ohm. That’s another story though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
So what do you guys think?
