I previously had a Kicker CXA-1200.1 pushing 1 12" Solo Baric L7 in its own ported box that it came from the actual Kicker company with the stitching on top. Wifey felt like we needed a step up in bass. It was supposed to be just a nice little system for her to hear music on while she was working (Caregiver) but now she basically wants some good hitting bass (2010 Toyota Camry). Its been about 10 years since I was into car audio but when I was into it, I have always bought Solo Baric speakers because it has sentimental value and memories of my brothers when we were young growing up. SO, I have now returned the single Solo Baric and upgraded to a dual enclosure ported box Solo Baric L7's with a Kicker CXA 1800.1 amp. Now for the specs.. and my noob question.
Kicker CXA 1800.1 is 1800 watts rms.
Solo Basic Dual Enclosure ported box L7's is 1500 watts rms.
The setup I had before that I spoke at the beginning of my thread was installed by a stereo shop when my wife got her stimmy check. They used 4 AWG wire for the amp install. SO, my question is rather then taking it again to the stereo shop and have them hook my new gear up, I was thinking since obviously since the car is already wired up, how do I go about just installing the AMP myself and tuning it right (Gains, Bass Boost etc.) and making those Solo Barics kick like a mule. Does it matter which cable I connect first to amp terminals(power or ground)? I tried to explain my setup the best I could to get your guys advice and I really appreciate you for taking the time and reading
