Sub issue :-/

I have 2 kicker l7 15's. My issue is one is a 2 ohm and the other is a 4. How do I wore these for best sound and to bump.

Also I have a 2400.1 amp not sure if that matters.

In for comments.

Josh, you're going to get an overwhelming along of responses that tell you don't do it. The reason behind this, a D4 and D2 sub have different T/S parameters. This, in theory, will cause the subs to behave differently than the other in a shared box.

Wiring to that amp will not be possible for you either, as each sub would be seeing a different ohm load. 2 separate amps would "work" but not still not well. The two amp scenario would be only IF you knew how to match the voltage from the source, the sake exact on both amps so each sub saw the same power.

The answer you're going to receive is NO, don't do it.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I would say no as well. Sell one and get the same impedance, or sell both and get something different. You will most likely want two dual 4 ohm or two single 2 ohm subs.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

One will get twice as much power. Need the same impedance

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

I was waiting for your response. I didn't wanna be "that guy" that said don't do it, with zero explanation.

sundown? i dont get it ha ha

cant they be both wired to 2ohm though? i thought you could change the load based on how they are wired??

if i were to sell one, sould i go for 2 2ohm or 2 4ohm?
