I believe the MA leaves a little to be desired on a 12v system, but comes alive when its on a 16v system

we need alittle more info like what subs are you running at what ohm what kinda electrical system do you have and how much money do you want to spend. you cant compare these two amps just for the sake of which one is better they both do good under very different situations...Before you try to start a this v. that thread give us a little more info

i'm getting 2 15" L7 and want to run alot of power to them, i'm not sure if the zx2500 will do it or not because it is set to run only 2ohms

i want to run the 15's at 1ohm, i have a standard electrical system, but i am farely new to car audio and i want a bad system

what do you mean wont run enough power to them? if you have two L7s wierd down to 2ohms that more than enough power they can handle. The RMS on a 06 15l7 is 1000 and a zx2500 will begiving them around 1300 each if you have a good electrical system...a zx2500 gives tons of power

it gives 2500 watts @ 2 ohms. if you want 2500 watts for your pair of l7's, then get two dual2 speakers and wite the woofers in series then parallel them together.

that will technically give each woofer 1250 watts depending on gain, electrical system, etc.

ok, thanks for the come back well i will run them at 2 ohms, that should push them good

a zx will run @1ohm and if you have a stock electrical system then forget the HK4000 and youll have to upgrade to run a ZX2500 to its full potential

 

[Roccaus 10+ year member]

well i already have 2 dual 4ohms on the way

 

[Roccaus 10+ year member]

to run a zx2500 to its full potential what do i need ,some one help me out i'm new to this, i know i need a H O alternater, a huge battery and what else

 

[stuckinok 5,000+ posts]

not really a huge battery but a good one up front and add one in the trunk. Run 1/0ga wireall the way do a Big 3 upgrade and thats about it

 

[Roccaus 10+ year member]

A Big 3 upgrade????????????? break it down for me please

The MA Audio amp is designed to do what it does on a 16~17v electrical system (which you do not have unless you've done heaps of upgrading //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif)

The Kicker amp is a much better choice IMO for a stock (or even upgraded but still ostensibly 12 volt system)
