What shoulod I do

[sdpadresfan1988 10+ year member]

Im just about to order a brand new kicker system through my work, at a more then fare discount. But when I was looking through all the paper work, it gave me an option on my subs, rathers 2ohms or 4ohms. I drive a honda civic coupe, and I was just needing some advice. Also, do you think to L7 12'' would be 2 much, considering I listen to almost all rap, or wouldn it just hit the spot. Thanks in advance for any comments.

We need to know what amp or amps you plan on running to determine what vc config would be best.

"TWO" L7's will be very nice. Plan on porting it or sealing it?

The option between 2ohms or 4ohms is to match your amplifier. What amp?

My System will contain:

1. AVH-P5700DVD

2. A PAIR OF SS 6.5 KICKER COMPONET SPEAKERS FOR THE FRONT DOORS

3. A PAIR OF KS FULL RANGE 6x9 SPEAKERS FOR THE REAR.

4. SX900.4 225 WATTS X 4 CHANNEL AMP FOR MY SPEAKERS

5. SX1250.1 1250 WATTx1 AMP FOR SUBS. I WAS THINKING OF GETTING TWO, ONE FOR EACH SUB.

6. ELECTRONIC CROSS OVER- 3 STEREO OUTPUT.

i'M RATHER NEW TO ALL THIS SO i JUST NEED SOME ADVICE.

**** CC hooking u upp too huh? thats nice stuff. i would run each sub of one of those amps 1250's are theygoing to be L7 15's or 12's?

Running a sub on it's own amp will more than likely be to much for your electrical system. There is a member on here, Polecat who can help you. PM him with any questions.

He is a Rep for Kicker.

THERE GOING TO BE 12'S. 15'S IN A CIVIC, TO MUCH BASE. sHOULD i GO WITH 2 OHMS OR 4 OHMS FOR THE SUBS?

So Are You Saying I Should Just Stick With That One 1250 Watt Sub Amps Or Should I Go Up To A 2500 And Run Both Subs Off Of That?

2 ohms, and I would recommend the L5's if you don't want too much base. Two 12" L7's will be loud as PISS. You could save money and get the L5's and you would be sending them the perfect amount of power.

You'll be underpowering the L7's on one amp, but the L5's would be fine. Get both of them in the 4 ohm version, then wire down to 1 ohm.

I've seen 1250s to putt out near 1400-1500 watts. They wont be under powered.

Single 2ohm subs or dual 4 ohm subs on that amp.

I never thought this would be that confussing. Well, what if I stuck with the l7's and just got the kx2500 wattsx 1amp?

That's would be fine, just be careful with the gains, VERY careful.
