[QUOTE="wesleysh, post: 26183, member: 542712"] What Ohm speaker you should get depends almost completely on the amp your getting and how you plan on wiring the two subs together. It has nothing really to do with the "quality" of the speaker, though the specs are a bit different. Really, if your not getting an amp that is 1 Ohm stable, you probably don't need 2 Ohm speakers. 4 Ohm speakers give you the freedom of wiring for a 2 ohm load or an 8 ohm load to your amp. While a 2 ohm speaker gives you the option of a 1 ohm or 4 ohm loads. Amps that are stable down to 1 ohm are usually expensive, so I stick with 4 ohm subs, for practicallity. Kicker does make an amp that is stable at 1 ohm(the KX1200.1). It's 300w @ 4 ohms, 600w @ 2 ohms, and 1200w @ 1 ohm. Its expensive, but if you were going to get it you could get the 2 ohm L7's. As a side note, I don't see how your going to fit those in your car, but if it can be done, it will probably be a Kicker that will do it. Good choice. But if your looking for a "little" bump, you might want to step down into the L5's as well as getting 10"s or maybe even 8"s. Those 12's in the L7 are the kind that I have to get out of the car to hear up all the way, too loud for my precious little ears, LOL. If cost isn't a concern, you might want to look into the Precision Power amps. Just my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
