Trendency Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have purchased (2) Kicker 10-inch L7's and I have them in a ported box. I had this set-up installed from ALL FOR SHOW in southern California with some crappy Perfomance Technique Amp. The amp went to crap on me recently and im trying to find a solid amp to push the subs properly. I just purchased a new battery as well, although its not so much for the stereo but more because my old stock battery was dying on me. I got a premium power Bosch from Pepboys. Anyways I was looking at a few amps and here are some I have come across. Hifonica BRZ 1200.1d http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/hifonicsbrz12001d.aspx Hifonics BRZ 1700.1d http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/hifonicsbrz17001d.aspx Kicker ZX1000.1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/KICKER-ZX1000-1-1000W-RMS-POWER-HANDLING-1-CHANNEL-MONO-CLASS-D-ZX-AMPLIFIER-/230933835861?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item35c4bab055&vxp=mtr Kicker ZX1500.1 http://www.ebay.com/itm/KICKER-ZX1500-1-AMPLIFIER-1500-AMP-ZX-SERIES-/271160769651?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item3f2270fc73 I would like to not have to spend much more then this on an amp. Considering I may need to buy more products such as, an additional Battery, capacitor, alternator etc. If anyone could guide me in a solid direction on where to go from here I would greatly appreciate it. I have them sitting in a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT OLD AMP Headunit Much appreciated ahead of time. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trendency Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Here are the specs for the subs : Model Solo-Baric L7 10 Size (IN.,CM) 10, 25.4 Impedance (OHMS) 2 or 4 DVC Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS)* 1200/600 Sensitivity (dB 1w/1m) 86.8 Frequency Response (Hz) 24-100 Mounting Depth (IN.,CM) 6-1/4, 15.9 Mounting Cutout, Square (IN.,CM) 9-5/16, 23.7 Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) .66, 18.7 Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 1.0, 28.3 Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 1.25, 35.4 Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 2.25, 63.8 Now i havent pulled the subs out to see which ones they are between the 2Ohm or 4Ohm DVC model. But lets say worst case they are the 4ohm, i do understand knowing then difference makes a big difference in my options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamace24 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 If your planning to keep those subs and not upgrade then definitely do not spend more than 200 on an amp because those subs will get very loud simply on that hifonics brz 1200. Whats the box specs on this box, get the 1200 hifonics. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trendency Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm not sure about the box, I bought this whole setup for $1000.00 together Amp, Subs, Head unit and Box. With the 1200watt Hifonics would I have to purchase a separate battery, alternator, or Cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamace24 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Wow you overpaid but at least those subs hit. One big strong battery will be enough and some good 0 gauge to the back even a good 4 gauge will work.

teamace24 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 If your subs are 4 ohm dual each then get the 1 ohm stable amp. If 2 ohms dual each get the kicker. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trendency Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a 4gauge wire setup or better at the moment and my Vehicle is a Pontiac Grand Am GT 2004 yeah and those subs are not even the subs I originally got with the $1000.00, they game (1) Kicker Comp CVR 12inch, my friend traded me these L7's for my BBQ Grill unfortunately.

teamace24 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Damn i hate when they over charge by that much. Pretty common here where i live too. Get the hifonics 1200 that is all you need if you stay with these subs. I messed with two of these kickers in a 96 impala once and they were loud even with the box not built right. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamace24 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Get a picture of that wire they put, they probably ripped you off there too and gave you a wire that is not rated properly. Again do not spend more than 175 to push these subs to their max, unless your upgrading subs in the future, in which case get a 2000rms plus amp now and set it low for these. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
