yea that would be good but it would be better to get 2 12' cvx's instead of L7's

lol. i really dont kno why. the l7's are sucky subs IMO. they have no sq (sound quality) at ALL. The best bet would be to go wit the CVX's, they are basically the newer and improved model of the comp vr's...

if you got the DVC 2 ohm subs (of cvx's) i would get the kicker zx1500 -- this would be a really really great setup. i would first look at the zx1500 and see if its in ur budget, if it is, get the DVC 2 ohm subs and get that amps and wire to a 2 ohm load, giving each sub 800 watts rms

thanks, isnt 800 watts too much? it only has 750 rms.

750 is the rec. amount of rms. 800 into a 750 watt rms sub is nothin. the thing is, is that when you see a 1500 watt amp, you will normally never see the whole 1500 watts unless you upgrade your electrical system (aka alternator) so that it can keep steady voltage. Amp companies rate their amps at 14.4 volts, so that kicker mp does 1500 @ 14.4 volts (which your car wont reach unless u upgrade your electrical system). so basically you wouldnt be gettin 800 to each sub, more around 750.

but those sub can take alot, and putting 900 wouldnt be overpowering them
