hay glasswolf, i know ive ben asking you a lot of questions but bare with me...

so my 2 L7's are 4 ohm DVC's

should i use my PRS for now to power them untill i get a recone for my solo x?

woofer wizard says i can either do them in a 1 ohm load, or a 4 ohm load.

and at 4 ohm's my PRS would be puting out only 750 watts RMSx1

would this be sufficient????

please help, seems how that legacy is fried. and the PRS is the only other amp i have at the moment.

sure you can use it. give it a try. if it's not enough to drive them both, just drive one of the subs for now. at last it'll be something.

mind you half the power to two subs vs twice the power to one sub, should sound the same.. +3dB for a second sub, vs +3dB for 2X the power.. but that's an "average" figure. one sub may work out better.

I haven't actually had anyone sit in my car and ask me "Doesn't it go any louder?"

I have had a few ask me to turn it down, though.

Most of the ladies that live in my trailer park tell me the same thing, except I don't have any bass

mmmhmm, there's just something about a tootheless/frizzied hair broad that drives me crazy.

if it's got bridges, use them. most subs don't, so we end up using short (6" or so) speaker wire bridges.
