With a Boss audio 3500 you need more than a professional opinion. FYI.

Wish I could have warned you in advance man. If you have boss, pyramid, pyle, etc. (BS brands) and you mention it, your going to get flamed. Not personal just take it as a lesson learned. You probably really want to get another amp. That amp isnt going to be enough for one let alone two l7's.

so how should i set the amp up for this sub not all the way up? or what should the nobs be around, i am a noob at setting amps.

Its called CLIPPING.

most likely clipping. trying to get more from the amp than it could give.

real easy....leave the knob in the box.....tun the gains down and don't turn the volume all the way down. Theres alot more to the gain thing, but i don't think you are ready for that yet

honestly i'd just set the gain about half and the bass boost off. leave it like that until you can get an amp that will properly power the subs. do alot of reading and searching on here in the mean time. once you scrounge through the bullshit that most of the nothing knowing asshats on here post you should have a bit more knowledge on the subject to make an informed decision on your purchase of a new amp.

if you're wanting a 4 ohm load yes. but your terminals on the subs won't look like that. but the configuration is correct.

 

[fastball11 10+ year member]

i want a 2 ohm load since its a 2 ohm sub correct?

this has fail written all over it, please spend some time reading on this site and other car audio sites before you hook up ANYTHING more. You'll regret it if you don't.

is it a dual voice coil sub or a single voice coil sub? if it's a single you just hook + to + and - to - and you have a 2 ohm load. if it's dual 2 you can either get a 4 ohm load or a 1 ohm load.
