[allanluberda143 10+ year member]

I have 2 15" l7 kickers (dvc) 4 ohm coils, i already know how to wire them at 1ohm total load,but i need to know if i hook them up too a 1000 watt rms Mono amp that is 1ohm stable at 1000 watts rms, will i recieve 1000 watts too 2 subs or only 500 watts to each sub?

Oh yea and one more question, what is the difference if i hook my subs up too a 1000 watt rms amp lets say perhaps a (MA Audio amp).

 

or if i hook them up to say an expensive jl/audio/1000.1 1000 watt rms amp?

 

will my bass hit harder on the jlaudio just becuz its a better brand? is it worth the extra money?

Well the jl 1000/1 isn't 1 ohm stable... And you'll only get 500 x 2

i would wanna know what the extra 150-200 bucks is going too...

1000 total watts = 500 to each sub

Will make no diff if it's a JL or any other brand that does real rated power of 1000RMS. Although the salesman will probably tell you the JL will hit harder, their wire carries more current, etc...

As mentioned above, spend some time reading/learning, so you can make well informed decisions/purchases and don't get screwed over.

grr, i dunno who to believe, i read up on a forum that u can hook multiple subs to a mono amp and get that rated power out of each sub if wired right and the ohms are compatable.......

u need at least 1500 rms to run the l7s decent...hey u can go ahead and run them at 500 but if ur gonna do that get type r's....or run one l7

I'd look into the sundown 1500.1, there is one in the classifieds for 350

Edit: It is a lot cheaper than the 1000.1

Let me just say that your last question is debated all day long on this and other forums...you have to look at the total picture...price is just one factor....brand/reputation is another...price vs features etc...it helps if you know what you are trying to acheive beforehand...research...don't buy it without knowing what your getting...

lol yea but l7's are only 1000 watt rms....im afraid to run them at 1500 lol...how much is the sundown?

and does anyone else have any comments on the ohm problem with mono amps?

 

[05gliguy 10+ year member]

1500.1 which is 750 x 2... The subs are rated at 1000 rms a piece.

 

[zack1442 10+ year member]

o ya were talking the 15s here my bad...u need at least 2000 or just run 1 of them for sure at 1000..just get the right box and ur good
