kicker zx1500.1

i was thinking that too but then he'll need hella electrical upgrades

i beleive its a t-420 or somthing along those lines is says V power or somthing on the amp, im at work right now, ill check the model # on my lunch break, gotta measure my trunk for the enclosure of these l7's anyway

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

its a mvr T-320, im thinking maybe investing in a couple t-420's unless some1 knows of 2 better mono amps that would run me around 350 max...

those are pretty small amps find you a good kicker 1200.1 i believe they are rated at 2 ohms ask sundownz he might have one he has taken in on trade or something equivalent...

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

if any1 comes across a kicker 1200 then, let me know willing to trade my current setup for it which is an old 12'' kicker cvr, and an alpine mvr t320 amp. no wiring im gonna need it for this coming system

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

be a man and run the amp at .5

There is no way in hell he is going to run an amp at .5 ohms.

Crash, where are you in Chicago?

As far as the question, I would go with 2 dual 4 subs and wire them down to 1 ohm and get an amp that's stable down to 1 ohm. I would actually invest in my electrical before I did any of that because you will need it.

im not gonna invest into electrical yet becuase im buying a new car soon, thats when ill invest in electrical. but anyway, i live in the suburbs, i just put chicago becuase no1 knows where Minooka IL is... and since your from il, its near joliet, closer to morris

For electrical, get some 1/0 power and ground wire, search the forums on how to do the big 3 and I would upgrade my front battery first.

If you want to get the most out of your subs, you're gonna have to spend some money on your electrical. Yeah you could throw whatever was suggested in the car and run it on shitty electrical and come back here saying you have issues with your lights dimming. Or you can go to BB and have them tell you that you need a magic "Capacitor" that will fix all of your problems. It won't.

Do it right the first time. If this is not the car you plan to really put the work into I would just wait and do it in the other car. And when you do, go buy an Audioque 1200D. The amp is 250 dollars shipped, stable down to 1 ohm and to me is the most bang for your buck. You could get that amp and use the other 100 for some better wiring for it. A Kicker 1/0 amp kit is 100 bucks on eBay.

You can buy the amp at audioque dot com. You can also read up here some of the reviews of the amp. If you're really trying to get bang for your buck, there you go.

I would definatly do the big three & look into a kinetik hc600 for an elec upgrade. As for an amp Kicker & Kicker go well together for some reason. I would look into the SX1250 you can find them on ebay & they are awsome amps.

the kicker amp is a 1 channel, im gonna be using it to power 2 L7's

and what do you mean by the "Big 3"

 

[BIGTOSH 10+ year member]

Hit the search button on the BIG 3 it wil give you tons of imfo. yes that kicker is 1 channel you going to be wiring the 2 subs paralell/series to get a 2ohm load. look up sub wiring diagram ,you only going to need 1 channel. hope this helps

 

[crash9201 10+ year member]

well i searched it before and i get a "database error" page, and i still get that page so... can you just tell me what the big 3 is

And i hope you decide to buy dual 4 ohm subs if you haven't bought them yet then your amp will be a lot easier to find and more budget friendly..
