Amplifier reccomendations?!

[69 Mach 1]

Hey I got my hands on four 10 inch kicker L7s brand new and i dont know a lot about systems so i was wondering if anyone has any opinion on what kinda amp(s) i should get. The subs are rated at 600w RMS 1200W Peak.... what is it gonna take to get them powered...i was thinking maybe 2000w amp.. please help im totally clueless thanks

ha i figured i need to put some weight in the ass end to get the baby to hook up.... dont worry if i add any weight you can guarantee i'll make up for it under the hood. not to mention it weighs bout 2700lbs as is...

theres an audio forum that needs some more action... (just a heads up)

IBTM

ahh where did that come from... admin will you pretty please move me?

[kpr10is]

IMO if youre clueless you shouldnt jump into car audio based on those subs. pick up a nice head unit, speakers, and a sub, itll be plenty, especially if your not an audiophile.

In my opinion and in before the move. (as in a mod will move it to another forum)

for an amp, I would go rockford fosgate... they are highly underrated in power though, you will even see a little slip inside the box that says it. Like 100 Rockford watts is close to 300 random ass Sony watts. Also, if you are new to car audio, you might want to sit in someone's car that has something close to four 600 watt RMS 10s in it and see how you like it. It isn't for everyone.

seriously you're going from no stereo for two years to 4 kicker l7's ?... quite possibly the loudest and hardest hitting sub .. ever?... what, you don't want your glass anymore?

Haha... a broken back window is a good excuse for plexiglass! yay! what do you guys think about power acoustik amps... i might get two 1400w amps..???

[Rune]

seriously, sit in someone's car that has something close to that before you do it lol

OK Who in this board is pushing 2500+ watts and is willing let me come check out their system?! Theres gotta be someone, it would be greatly appreciated.

[REY]

seriously though, 4 L7's is going to be overkill

if you already have 4 of them, in all honesty i'd build a box for a single sub and get a nicely matched amp for it... then keep the other 3 for when the first sub, then the next, then the next blows up. and they WILL blow up.

I dont think that they WILL blow up my friend had two 15s l7's and a 3000 earthquake amp and that thing hit hard as hell until it got stolen. :(

I dont plan on abusing the little guys, trust me I am very hesitant about wanting to crank them up. Also i've had problems with my ears my whole life and they are way too sensitive for something like that so the only way id even consider cranking them up would be showing them off while outside my car...

[Little Nicky]

andrew i took you in my car and mine only has 2 12's and 800 watts bridged.

[69 Mach 1]

well then it looks like im gonna have a sick system... (evil laugh)

:lol: Thats a good one

[69 Mach 1]

hey dont bag on my kickers... do you have a system this big? and at 100 bucks a pop i didnt drain my wallet

[93ex]

Did I say i did? Im not saying they are shit, im saying they arent the "hardest hitting subs ever"

[69 Mach 1]

audiobahn is over rated.

[93ex]

You are correct

[Miles]

ok mr. sensitive ears... here's the deal. at MOST i'd put 2 of those 10's in the back. 4 is just going to be silly. that way, you'll actually be able to adequately power the subs without fucking your alternator.

do they make spinners in 15inch? So i can keep my drag radials on them?

[TIM TIM TIM]

so 4 subs at 600 rms a piece? thats alot of bass :lol: the loudest system on here i have heard is probably gseclips02 and bumpin expo. bumpin expo deff has a cleaner one and all thoug... see if you can listen to his sometime, yours will probably be similar beeing that its in a car and not an SUV

[93ex]

I was thinking about this... 4 of those in the trunk of a mustang will be a very very tight fit...

[69 Mach 1]

no no i've planned it all out... i took out my big ass fold down rear seat... so the rear seat/trunk are one big section... hey 93ex i hear you do fiberglass work. Interested?
