which resistance would be the best for a single 12" Kicker S12L7? Also if you know of a good amp for it please let me know. Thanks.

You should decide on ur ohm load from what amp you chose.

Most would get a 1ohm stable monoblock amp and a dual2ohm subwoofer.

would this be good if i bought the dual 4 ohm

They are solid amps and the dual 4 ohm sub will work with that amp.

If you think you might eventually upgrade to 2 L7s, I would get the D4 and wire it to a 2ohm load for now and then 1ohm later.

If you think you'll be sticking with the 1 L7, I would get a D2 and a 1ohm stable amp.

what's a d2(or d4)? who makes them? and are they an amplifier? your post kinda confused me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

heres the deal with the 2 ohm subs you can run a amp at 4 ohms or 1 ohm

with the 4 ohms sub you could run 2 ohm or 8 ohm so you have to decide if you are ever going to upgrade to more subs and then decid on an amp before the ohm load of your sub

The D in D2 and D4 means dual. Most subwoofers have dual (2) voice coils. Having 2 voice coils gives you some different wiring options as seen in the tutorial link above.

that kicker zx750.1 is a solid amp. but, you might wanna feed it more power. even though an 12" L7 is rated at 750w rms, it'll easily handle much more power. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I hear people running 1000w to them all the time without problems.
