New member Username: Su_ramPost Number: 5 Registered: Jul-06 | I have two Kicker (12inch) L7's in a dual ported box. I have these wired to 1 ohm on my Visionik 1800 Watt Amp. Me and my cousin decided to swap speakers to see how they would sound in different cars. For some reason his two 15 inch Kicker Comps(sealed box) subs were hitting louder/harder on my amp than my Solo Barics!! Is there an explanation for this? right now im feeling I could have saved a few hundred bucks by buying some cheaper kicker's. |

Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleWww.Audioque.comUSA Post Number: 2434 Registered: Feb-06 | are they dual 4ohm or dual 2ohm? Im guessing 4ohm. |
|
New member Username: Su_ramPost Number: 10 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea they are 4ohm and my amp is supposedly rated at... Rms Power @ 17V DC * 1 x 1000W @ 4 Ohm * 1 x 1500W @ 2 Ohm * 1 x 1800W @ 1 Ohm |

Bronze Member Username: Su_ramPost Number: 11 Registered: Jul-06 | Lol, I will try to upgrade the amp around tax time. But I came to the same assumption that they should dominate the COMP 15inch anyway. Im going to go another shop and have them check my wiring and possibly rewire my subs. Is there a diagram anywhere that shows how to wire subs to 1ohm? |
