Kicker S10L5 2ohm and Kicker KX450.2

[nchyflyer]

I am on a really tight budget and saw this online. I was wondering if it would be a good pairing.

It is just one Kicker s10l5 at 2 ohms and the kx450.2 amp. This is my first sub and i want it to hit hard, but i'm not looking to win any competitions with it.

So would this amp be ok to power just one sub? Would it hit pretty hard? SOund clear? Deep bass?

Thanks guys.

what kinda car do you have? the solobarics are known for there output and "bass" but they're not the best sounding woofer in the world

oh and whats your budget...forgot the most important question lol

Its a scion tc.... hatchback basically. I am really just looking for an addition to really pick up the low notes. Like i said, i'm not in it to win any competitions.

ok thanks.

but what about the system I'm looking at? Is it ok? First time sub user here... heh. I am most likely going to upgrade the amp later on the down the road, but this is it right now.... so if anybody can tell me some more specifics on this system that would be awesome!

will if your looking for SQ i'd go with the atlas (hint thats whats in my avatar) i've owned a l5 and it got decently loud with aobut 500 watts on it but it just didn't sound all that great it would be a great first system, it may not be the loudness your looking for from a 10 though

I take it you have not had any personal experience with them. If you had, and if they got the power they need you would retract your statement. Look, I'm not trying to be a prick its just that 90% of people that run L5's or L7's don't give them the power they need. They need a big ported enclosure tuned between 33 and 36 hertz. I gaurantee if people would do this they would see what these subs can do.

They need power to sound good. Mechanically they need about 75% more power than rated rms. Sit back and enjoy the ride.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

pretty much yes. What is your budget? I built a single L7 with amp for 360.00 and the sub is getting 1200 true watts

 

[Jdizzle 10+ year member]

man go look on http://www.ikesound.com for an amp they have steals, look for orion, directed, hifonics, of viper

ok no harm done. I am a huge fan of sealed enclosures, but the L7 actually sounds tighter in a ported enclosure...go figure.

honestly guys... i already bought the system, now i feel like an **** idiot. Please tell me this will provide with at least some good bass... at least to where i can really feel it.... tell me something positive here!
