Max power daily for L7 15

[singlesubsetup 10+ year member]

I've done a search here and i would really like those who actually have the L7 15 to respond please

I just purchased 2 L7 15's. (04 model) I'm starting a new project for 2006. I would like to know what is the max power they will take for daily. I would personally put a brutus 2000 on each one... ( or maybe there 1800 watt amp)

Also give me some ideas of a nice tune freq... should I leave it @ kicker spec'd 38hz??? 40??? lower? Thanks guys I appreciate any/all repsonses

**edit** I am aware of there power handling ability.. I know max is 2k but these subs are waay underrated and I know they can take more than 1k watts rms daily...

what ever happened to building a box to utilize a given amount of power to make the subs perform there best? what kind of music you listen too? i would suggest giving each 2000 watts rms. just give them there 1000 watts rms and make a good box and install

and who said that would'nt be the case.... I just know that they're underrated for newbs who don't have volume control... I'm no newb, plus this will be a fairly extreme project so I want to get * the most * out of the subs when I need it...

Subs and wattage is like horse power, nice to have when you need it... But the horsepower is not in use ALL then time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Any more suggestions? comments?

kicker makes good subs but 2000 watts rms is a bit overkill. no sub will be able to handle abuse. if you build a good enclosure you can get the most out of it at 1000 watts rms. agan what kind of music do you listen too? i assume you want spl so tuned between 35-39 hz. i suggest you pm polecat since he is the kicker guru on this forum //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i say 1000 each will do nicely, u wouldnt get much play time wit that much power on em be4 u start smelling coils or bottom'n out. 1k each will pound!!!

i hope you plan on doing electrical upgrades

lol, ^^^^ yes, yes, yes, electrical will be looked after I promise... how about 1500 per sub daily? u guys really think 2k is to much huh?

 

[SBLAZER]

1200w is the most i would do. but u have 2 figure out how much actual power u will be givin the subs. wha amps are u gonna be runnin.

i would say double the rms would be too much.

x2 you won't come near these absurd wattage ratings you're talking about here with music. But with 0dB tones on the other hand...yes.

me and my boy put a bx1500 for daily to one but its sealed anyway

I was runnin 1000rms to both of them in an install for a kid and they wanged nicely, even though he bought a prefab sealed :-/

well I was/am thinking about either a bx 1800d or bx2000d.... all are overrated and will probably do about15-1600 watts...

Also for each *pair* (going with 6 15's) I've considered a viper on each set... (about 1200 watts give or take)

**edit** also considering a pa 2400d per sub (I've read they do about 1600 also)
