i got 1 kicker l7 and i was wondering what a few good amps to run it would be. Its 2 ohm, 12" and obviously dvc, and if it matters its in a sealed box. What would be an example of a cheaper amp to run it? what would be the best amp if money wasn't an option? oh and how should i wire it? thanks |

For wiring it= http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html#1dvcs
There is 2 different ways to wire that sub, series for 4 ohms and parallel for 1 ohm. If you are going 4 ohms, use a 2 channel amp an bridge it. If you want to wire to 1 ohm, find a 1-ohm stable mono amp.
A cheap but decent option would be JBL, Kicker or MTX.
Top of the line stuff would be more like Arc Audio, JL, Xtant, Zapco and US amps. Your gonna pay alot more for these because they are top of the line amps. |

my sub is already wired and as you can tell from my boss amp, i didnt know much at all about car audio when it was purchased and installed. I dont even know how its wired and im now planning on having it professionally installed. is that a problem? and is this mtx enough?: MTX TA7402 (http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15182) |

Would work, you'd also be running the amp at 4 ohms; it'll be easier on it than running an amp at 1 ohm. |
