yeah i think it means it takes 1500 rms all day everyday. and 3k for 10 second bursts.
if your looking for a good amp for cheap id look into the hifonics brz1700d it should be perfect for that sub

Hey thanks for all the info enveryone definitely food for thought. Firstly, I live in New Zealand and it is very hard to get some of these brands that you guys are talking about without having to pay twice the price just for postage and currency rates, that's pretty much the only reason kicker is appealing. Secondly I have a Ford Courier 1990 XLT so I'm trying to put the sub/s underneath the rear bench seat (going to have to cut it out and weld a frame in there first), this is why the CVT12's were an option because of the shallow mounting. To be honest I just want some solid bass that is definitely noticeable, and i do know that the box used is a big part in that as well. So do you guys reckon kicker subs can pull that off or am I wasting my time with them?
Cheers everyone
kickers are by no means bad subs. if you can get kickers for a good price where your from then diffidently get them. the only reason most people talk bad about kickers is everyone else does and they are not worth how much you have to pay for them ( well here in the states atleast you can get better subs for a better price) but if you go with kicker you wont be disappointed.

if you wanna do a single 15"
id look into
or a
but really there are millions of options your could go with
some other good brands are FI, obsidian audio, or maybe even fosgate.
im sure you will be happy with whatever you pick
-
so your willing to pay 900 for a single sub but your not willing to build a new box? even though im pretty sure it caused the death of your last sub
-
well then just dont use the loud button. its bad for your speakers anyway
-
its more then likely the box or amp is clipping.
edit: just went back and re read and id put my money on clipping.
Go back and rereread. He tuned it with a dd1. There is no clipping or distortion. My money is on the box.
you can still clip even if the amp was set with a dd1.
i bet your friend turned up his bass setting on the hu all the way and the box was made by fosgate and i dont think they would sell a box that was designed so bad it would make the subs too hot to touch in 30 seconds. hell i ran my l7 15 in a shitty prefab 2.2 net box tuned to mid 40s. ive played full tilt for hours on all kinds of music with out it getting 'hot

1,7 -3.2 are kicker requirements for 12" l7
Well obviously any noob can go on kickers website and get their "requirements" because if kicker said it it must be true! I'm not saying that their website doesnt say that you can't put their sub in 1.7ft, but from my experience I wouldn't recommend 1.7 or even 2ft for a 12"l7. I'm not saying it can't be done, all I said is that I don't think that is ideal airspace for a 12"l7. That airspace would accommodate a 10" subwoofer much better, or even 3 8's
this. i had my 15 in 3 cube box and it fucking hated it. i got louder with 2 xplods in a shitty prefab bandpass

Haha! Thats what I'm feeling like! I just need to match an amp with them suckers, idk whether an rms matching 3000w amp would be too little and I should do a 4 or 5k amp?
id diffidently go with a 4k or 5k amp
-
trust me bro you will get used to those kickers and be dying for more quick. if i were you id get the 140 you were gonna spend on the 2 cvrs and buy a single 12 from like a DC or SA. trust me a single sa-12 will sound sooo much better and louder then the 2 cvrs. plus you will have more trunk room
-
if you can only pick from those go with the cvts. l7s love there airspace and cant get loud without it. but i you could make a decently sized box fit the most diffidently go with the l7
but if your open to suggestions get a sa-12 on the zx1000
-
id go with a hifonics brz1200d its around the same price puts out rated and gives you room to upgrade subs later if you want to.
i just got one hooked up to a kicker l7 and it SLAMS
-
How about 2 15" Skar vvx's
if you read the op it says hes friends will give him either of the subs. at least read the post dont just spam the product you sell
-
This is one of the reasons I love this forum. Good luck with yourbox.
i know this has to be the most helpful form on the internet
-
No problem. Hope it all works out for you.
whenever i get this thing built ill be sure to let you know how it works out.
-
ok that makes sense.
thank you so much, you have no idea how much you have helped me out.
-
here ya go
-
no the only tools i really have is a jig saw and a drill some wood clamps and little stuff. i usually have lowes cut the wood for me. but if i need one i could see if one of my friends have one
-
this is with the dimensions you gave me.
-
i just checked and my max depth is about 31 too.
-
If you have the room to do it I would swap them and go with 18h and 25w
hmm im really confused. maybe thats why this box came out the way it did. im doing it in a trunk car and i want it to be sub back port back and i believe my max dimensions are like 20h 30w 38d. i thought it didnt really matter what was height and what was width
-
I am kind of confused. Your height is 25 but your width is only 18? What is your sub and port configuration going to be?
yeah is there something wrong with that?
lol. the sub and port config will be the same as the one beside the torres box calc in my pic.i will be running of a hifonics brz1200d
-
yeah this is these are the dimensions i will be using. unless you see something wrong with them or just wanna design me a better one
im pretty new to this box building thing.btw its for a kicker l7 15
-
ok so i just spent the last 2 days building a box just for this damn sub. just for it not to come out wrong. i will seriously send someone 5$ in the mail ( no paypal or id have ray design me one :/) just to make a cut sheet for me and show how its spouse to be put together, because im obviously retarded and somehow messed up while making it. heres the torres calc.
lol. the sub and port config will be the same as the one beside the torres box calc in my pic..gif){kind=small}
im pretty new to this box building thing.
