I have recently bought a Solobaric L7 15" and a Solobaric L5 15" but I don't know what amplifier to buy to make sure they are getting all the power they need. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Are there any other things I should consider buying like a capacitor or an extra battery? |

The L5 15" is 750 watts and the L7 15" is 1000 watts are you trying to run both subs. Oh what ohm are the subs. |

For the former reply, I don't really have a budget so any suggestions are useful. But why can't I run both together? That doesn't make sense, at least to me. For the latter reply, yes I am trying to run both subs and how do I find out how many ohms they have? |

It depends on the ohm. So when you find out what ohm we can help. |

On the Kicker website it says either 2 or 4 ohms. Does that help? |

I agree with Corey Dalton don't run them together.
If it was me I would run the L7 15" in a vented box with a Hifonics BXi1206 or BX1205. But thats what I would do. |

you will need a HO alt and some electrical upgrades btw.
Mixing subs is a problem. Is not recommended. Why? because you mix tuning, response and many specs the sub has. |

for the l5 i suggest the zx750, it pushes out 900+ watts any given day, all are certified with certificate, i never encountered one below 900 on cert, cea certified, for the l7, maybe the zx1500
kicker makes very hi quality amps, i used to have 3 12 inch l5 in kicker boxes with zx750 for each |
