what coil configuration

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

parallel

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

so dual 2 or 4 ohm?

 

[dbeez 5,000+ posts]

dual 2ohm subs or dual 4 ohm subs

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

dual 2 ohm

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

so you either need an amp that peaks at 2 ohms or one that is stable down to .5ohms

 

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

be a man and run the amp at .5

what kind of electrical do you have....

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

bone stock battery, nothing special at all

for cost reasons i would almost say getting 2 smaller monoblocks might be your best bet. also if you do 2 amps you will need to do subs in seperate chambers.

oh and by doing it with 2 amps you could actually get a pair of 2 channel amps bridged with subs wired in series so they will present a 4 ohm load on amp

hmmm to run am amp at.5ohm gonna wana step up the electrical or to get an amp to due that kind of power at 2 ohms gonna need a kicker 1200.1 ...

well i already have a small monoblock alpine powering a 12'' kicker comp cvr, it does pretty well but im gonna need some more power for the l7's

what model is the alpine? maybe get one more of them and run one to each sub?
