I wouldn't have bought an L7 in the first place...

Got it Uhrin?

With that sub and amp you have now, you must wire it as a 4 ohm load because your amp requires either a 4 ohm load or a 2 ohm load, and your sub can not be wired to be a 2 ohm load. And, as you seem to have found out, all this means is that your amp is only gonna put out 330W in that 4 ohm situation.

You could also do this; Buy a 2nd of the exact same sub, wire them to a 2 ohm load. Then your amp will put out 330 watts into each of the two subs.

You need my Kicker 1200.1 1 ohm stable, your L7 will slam then.

Just talkin' options. I actually don't know much about specific makes/ models, just how to wire.

lol, ****, sub is blown... just rewired down to 4ohm and the amp still turns off, but it stays on long enough for me to hear that it's blown. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif
