15" Kicker L7

[JCamaro3800]

Hey yeah I have a 15 inch square sub squeezed into my F-Body. Does anyone know of a decinte amp i could get to power it? Its 2000W peak and 1000 RMS and because its dual voice coil I can run it at 2 or 4 ohms preferable 2. Thanks

A 2 or 4 ohm load? How is that possible with a single subwoofer?

Psssst.... it's not. ;)

Your subwoofer has either dual 4 ohm coils or dual 2 ohm coils.
Dual 4 ohm would give you 2 or 8 ohm options.
Dual 2 ohm would give you 1 or 4 ohm options.

Also we need a ballpark budget for the amp.

Thanks big tymer for actually knowing what your talking about when you post! lol and for 9gfirebird 311 if I spent 500 on my sub im not expecting to pay a couple hundred for the amp. money is no object.

What does this statement have to do with any particular amp?

96firebird does know car audio, I think tho, evan the newbies wouldn't paid $500 for an L7. Haha and I like how you say squeez it in, why wouldn't it fit? big tymer has 2 18's in his car so why would one 15 be a tight fit?

$500 for a single 15L7 WOAH!!! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] :(

[96firebird311]

Thanks guys. So as I was saying...

If i had $$ laying around, I would get like 3 Earthquake Sub zero 12's or a couple of the 15's.... I have the earthquake magma 15" for my house.... thinking of puting it in my car... it literly shakes the entire house ... its insane...

[96firebird311]

Hehehe gotta love that!

My 66mm of one way LINEAR Xmax is no slouch either... :D :D Just to compare, it would take exactly four 15" Alpine Type-R's to equal that kind of displacement! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

[JCamaro3800]

you all need to chill out i only paid 250, but with everything else i did with it it ened up costing around 5. lay off. and i it was a tight squeeze cuz i put it where the t tops go so my car is still functional. And for all of you raggin on my sub, thats fine i am perfectly happy with it and could really care less about comparisons. Thanks :)

[96firebird311]

It's cool bud.

So did you catch my recommendations? Whadda think?
