Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1590 Registered: Oct-05 | it wont get loud or sound good at all. the rms on that sub is 750. you will be underpowering it by a alot. and it would only work if you had a dual voice coil 2 ohm sub. |

New member Username: Raider0689Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | nah the L7 is 750 rms.. the L5 is 600, dual voice coil. i have it matched with a 2 ohm box |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1591 Registered: Oct-05 | its still underpowering though. you want to stay around 600 watts. this is better: http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-KX600-1-KX-600-1-600W-RMS-MONO-SUB-AMP-LIKE-NEW_W0QQi temZ9743048457QQcategoryZ79829QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or http://cgi.ebay.com/A8002V-Audiobahn-800W-RMS-2-1-Ch-Intake-Amp-NEW-A8002T_W0QQi temZ9742407856QQcategoryZ48597QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

New member Username: Raider0689Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | ok, i could understand the kicker 600.1. but if i were to go with the audiobahn, wouldnt i risk completely screwing over the sub in the long run because the rms is 800 watts.... im completely ignorant to most of this, so yeah sorry. |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 279 Registered: Mar-06 | No I have a friend running a Hifonics 1600 watt rms amp on a L5 12" sub and it pushes it great. 800w wouldn't push it too much. You would be fine. That kicker is probably pushing around 700w rms. Kicker is underrated on their amps so either, as bass said, would be a good match. |

New member Username: Raider0689Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-06 | ok. another question. since the sub is a dual voice coil. if i got two kicker 400.1's would that sound better than the single 800 |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1594 Registered: Oct-05 | y would u use two amps for one sub?? what is the VC configuration on ur subs (is it a 20hm sub?) having a single voice coil vs. a dual voice coil has no effect whatsoever on how the subs will perfrom. each just presents a different load on the amp. no, 2 400.1 wouldnt do much except you would have to wire it diferently. and anyways, i dont think you can hook up 2 of those amps to one sub, even if you were to hook one to each VC. i would just get one amp. the audiobahn one will be fine. its cheap too |

Bronze Member Username: Raider0689Post Number: 17 Registered: Jun-06 | ok. because a friend of mine had done that set-up and it sounded great. no idea how he did it but he was running two 400.1's on one L5. but thanks, i appreciate it and yes the sub is a 2 ohm |
