best amp for 2-12" L7 solobarics

[jthorn75]

what do u guys think would be tha best amp for these subs...they push 750 watts RMS so i was lookin for a good solid amp at a good price...i was thinkin a kicker or hifonics? wat do u guys think?

Best is something you probably can't afford or won't pay for. From your two options I'd definitely pick the Kicker though.

kicker zx1500.1

i think the new ones are 1500.1's the old ones were 1200.1's but either will work!

hifonics are best bang for your buck IMO...kicker amps are over priced IMO

Since you made a dumb blanket statement in response I will too. New Hifonics amps are crap.

i have a kicker sx1250.1 on my two L7's and i wish i would have went bigger. if you have the money get the kicker 2500.1 but get the older model it will go down to 1 ohm whereas the newer one will only run at two ohms. it all depends on if your subs are dual 2 or 4 ohm though. if they are 2 ohm just get the new one but if they are 4 ohm get the older one and it will be loud as hell. but i dont know if you have the money for that amp. if you need a good hook up on that amp let me know and i can have it shipped to you for around a grand. which is most likely cheaper than anywhere else. lmk.

if i wanted to buy tha absolute best i could afford it...i have money my friend so dont worry bout that...if u have a suggestion please give it other than that a comment like that is unnessasary

[ebaker2006]

well if you have the money then go with the kicker 2500.1 it will knock the hell out of those L7's.

I think M5 is right the best amp you prolly cant afford or wont buy. I mean seriously are you going to spend $4,000 to push some $300 subs? Buy an Orion 2500d. case closed

[///M5]

Exactly. There are a ton of options and the Hifonics shouldn't be anywhere near one of them, since the doof in front of me made a blanket statement about them I had to retort. Nothing wrong at all with that Orion though. I didn't offer an amp, but you never even stated what impedance your subs were so how could I??

im pretty sure he established that he will pay w/e he needs to for the subs to sound awesome. and they are no where near $300 subs. They run $400 a piece. but the orion is a good choice of amp.

[Polecat]

do you have the L7's, if so, what impedence are they?

[jthorn75]

i dont have them yet so i kinda can go with either...

[Polecat]

well then it will boil down to budget, and what features you want/need. :)

[ebaker2006]

Get 2 dual 4 ohms and wire them into 2 ohms and then run them to a 2005 or older kicker 2500.1 and i swear it will be the spawn of satan. It will be F'in loud!

Just for X-Mas there is a sale going on for the Sundown Audio amps the SAZ-1500D is going for $450 shipped. This is better then what I was able to get for a gorup buy previously. Drop me a PM if ya want any info.

[jthorn75]

never heard of them...r they good? lol

Id go with a hifonics amp. Kicker and most others over rate their amps. Hifonics makes a lot of the better amps out there.

actually, if you check, Kicker amps are usually 30% underrated, they will do way more pwoer than published power. Birth sheets of actual powering doesn't lie. And in order to get the 2 ohm load, you actually need two DVC 2s for a final 2 ohm, two DVC 4's for a final 1 ohm.

word...i used one for like 9 months and had no problems at all...it was also on 2 L7's and they pounded!!!
but what do i know?? their "crap"??????

[LordSpeedbump]

Look in the group buy section I posted some real world power testing on these amps, they are very much under rated in what they will do. Plus its hard to beat the warrenty on these. Jake at Sundown is great to work with.

[bignick31985]

I'd get an Orion 2500d. They can be had for $600 new online. That aint a bad price for the power you'll have. And leaves you open to upgrade in the future without purchasing a new amp.

Regardless though, you will probably wanna upgrade your electrical system.

Out of everything listed so far the Sundown wins for sure.
