i got 2 solo baric 15 inch subs that run at 1000 rms im in some serious need of amp/amps to push them at thier rms all i have found were BOSS amps and everyone says they are crap anyone with suggestions???
JL and US amps are some of the nicest, but you might be wasting your money if you buy a JL 1000/1 to run a sub with literally no sq because you're paying for clarity.

WHAT WHAT
is not that the same thing just like isn't
sq i assume means sound quality so clarity is how clear it is so isnt that sq
ok ritch so i checked out those jbl amps it said pushes 1114 at 2 ohms but i saw the price tag n it saying i think 549 i got these 2 kickers for 280 each n i had 1500 so now im stuck. i was looking at power acoustik amps they put out some power but i dont want something that will break instanty (unless it has a warranty =) ) so any more suggestions

hey im 16 and i got 2 15" L7's hooked up in my 97 pontiac bonneville. I am runing them off of the Hifonics Bx-2005D Brutus 2000watt amp and it slams. Although i do have it hooked up to another battery because i didnt want to take the chance of draining a battery. You can try hooking it up to your car battery but i doubt it will last long. I suggest a yellowtop Optima Battery. Powerful and good for your type of setup. Good Luck to ya
roger, what state do you live in that lets you drive a car at age 15? Unless you are drowning in money I would recommend against putting this system in your first car. Before you start taling about a 2000 watt amp, start talking about a new alternator. Many people who conisder taking thousands of watts from their car's electrical systems fail to realize that they WILL need to replace their car's alternator. Lets do some simple math, shall we? Most cars have alternators that can spare no more than 50 amps when the car is running. Using ohm's law, we can determine the power your car can procude. To find Power (watts) you multiply amperage by voltage. In your car on a good day, the voltage will be around 14.4 volts. 50 x 14.4 = 720 Watts. Your cars electrical system is only able to supply 36% of the power you plan to be using. If you haven't already, look into getting a high output alternator. I would recommend no less than 200 amps. That second battery, or getting a capacitor will not help you.
anyway, when i said "JL and US amps are some of the nicest, but you might be wasting your money if you buy a JL 1000/1 to run a sub with literally no sq because you're paying for clarity." I meant that there is no point in buying a JL or US amp to power your subs because they are expensive amps, and the reason they are expensive is because of their clarity. This clarity would be wasted on Solo barics. Sorry i confused you.
Yah I own a l7 15". and ive been looking into the very good sq amps, jl, us amps, orion, etc.., but you say it will go to waste on the l7? They are the best right? So they will bang that sub pretty hard right? My question is, if the jl, orion, us, etc. are some of the best but they're clarity will be wasted, what other amps are they're that will push an L7 to it's limits, without having as much clarity as the jl, us, orion?
Since I own a l7, and I know that the l7 is not that big of a fan for sound quality, just pure loudness, then I want an amp that will push it for it's loudness, not it's sound quality then.
i don't like the cliche that you are "wasting money"...it may not be the best match for the sub, but getting an amp with a better power supply, higher signal to noise ratio, and lower THD is definately going to make the L7 sound better without a doubt. Just because it's an L7 doesn't mean that you HAVE to rule out those amps. Just depends on your budget and sound goals.
well i got 500 bucks to speand on an amp, and yeah I would like to have a nice sq amp like orion jl and us, but im still open for options. Isacc? you know any amps that would match for an l7 besides the jl orion and us?
