E-Train Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Okay so I was planning on getting 2 Kicker L7 15's, but I ran into a lil financial situation, so im only going to be able to get one, until I have the money to get the other, so to get the most out of my one sub for now, what should i go with, i already know im gonna get the Dual 4 ohm VC's , and i dont know if i want a ported box, or a sealed, or how big of an amp to run on it just temporarily till i get my other L7. So what do any of you recommend to get the most out of 1 15, sealed or ported and how much power should i throw to it Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

All Night Long Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I would do a ported box and put at least a thousand watts to the sub. It is going to work in anything from 3.5-6 cubes ported for a single 15 and double the size for 2 with 2000 watts for the pair. Is this going into a trunk, suv, or hatch? Because size may come to be an issue if you are doing a ported box for 2 15's down the road. I think that you could fit a single 15 in a ported box in just about any car, but two may be pushing it unless you have a decent amount of space to sacrafice.

E-Train Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 There going in a 4 Runner and i got hotshotz to build me a box design for 2 15's that will fit perfectly, but i wont have both 15's for a good while so im just gonna be running 1 so space shouldn't be an issue, but ya think 1 15 ported with about 1500 watts would sound decent?

Sho nuff. I'd be willing to be that with 1 15 and 1500 watts in the 4 Runner you would be able to see 145's no problem, and with 2 15's and 3000 watts 150's might not be out of the question either. Go for it, and make sure to keep updated with pics too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trappin859 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey, if you wanna save a couple $$ I'd look into AQ amps. 2200D for $389 shipped, and it will have roughly the same output as the rockford for half the price. Just something to consider.
