yes, two L5 12's ported, 1300 each, daily, at 2ohm

I guess I shouldn't really have a problem with two 15s then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif if I set my gains correctly. Just as long as the amp will run at 1 ohm.

I am ordering the kx2500 today. I am pretty excited.

Should I set my gains by ear and of course leave all bass boosts off?

or

should I set it with a DMM? If so should I just figure it up at 2500 watts @ 1 ohm or what? I dont know if works the same way since its a 2 ohm stable amp. Anything else on this amp is more than welcome (comments, reviews, etc)

werd. what he said //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And I get all 4 of my zx2500.1's to run @ 1 ohm daily also, just beef up the electrical and you'll be good.

Thats what I planned on doing but do I just calculate the voltage by 2500 watts at 1 ohm or what? Didnt know how that worked since the amp is rated at 2500 watts at 2 ohm.

KX2500.1 will be here monday. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I really hope it runs at 1 ohm with no problem.

Let the impedance rise and keeps the gains conservative.

I wonder about how many watts the kx2500 puts out at 1 ohm at 12 volts?

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Birthsheets read ~2900w @ 2ohms.

Well over 3000 is my guess.

Your going to blow your L5s

I hope not!

So when setting it with a DMM should I just set it for 2500 watts at 1 ohm? So turn the gain up until I see 50? I figure that would provide the cleanest bass since the amp will put out well over 2500 watts. Or should I try to get some more out of it? I really hope I dont blow my L5s. That will **** lol.

Also when setting the gains should the crossover be turned all the way down, all the way up, or set to whatever I will have it on?

Try to set it @ 2000w first to see how they handle it, and the amp.

If they do with ease, turn it up at your own discretion.
