I have a elemental desings amp, specs-
elemental design
Nine.1
Model Name : NINe.1 Amplifier
RMS Power @ 12.5v :
1200W x 1 @ 1 Ohm
900W x 1 @ 2 Ohm
450W x 1 @ 4 Ohm
Was pushing my 12" kicker L7, 750 watts rms 1500 peak.
pounded good for couple of months.
one day it started to make wierd sound at low volume. sound ok at high but that didnt last long.
sub dont work and is stiff! anyone know the cause of this. is the amp too much power for the rms.
sub was wired 2ohm to the 1ohm stable load!
any suggestions? |

your making no sense lol
even at 900rms @ 2ohm it is over the limit for the l7
and at 1ohm .. its well over the limit..
if you know what your doing you might be fine over-powering that sub IF the enclosure is built to specs and it is a clean unclipped signal.. and you don't abuse the setup trying to make it do something it was not designed to do
you have a nice amp.. time to get a nice sub |

No personal experience with these subs but I always heard great things about them
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12257_JBL+P1222.html
2 dual 2ohm wire it to a final 2ohm 450wrms per sub
Or

^Compared to JLw6 but a bit better |

x2 on the Re SE's. Should be a great match. Did you have the gain set correctly on the amp? That could have been part of the problem for the blown sub. |
