amp questions..please help!!!!!!!
Tuesday, May 06, 2008 1:35 PM
4 ohms: 375 watts x 1 does this mean that it will put out 750 watts max at 2 ohms or that it will put out 750 to each sub at 2 ohms
2 ohms: 750 watts x 1 because its a kicker zx1500.1 amp. i want it to power 2 kicker L7's that rms at 750..so if i get 2 ohm subs
will it put out a total of 750 or 750 to each sub?? im really confused!!!

1 sub at 2 ohms the amp could output 750W, 750W for 1 sub
2 subs at 2 ohms the amp still outputs the same amount of power (750W), or 375 for each sub

2 subs at 1 ohm the amp can output 1500W, or 750 per sub...so yes you're right.

the amp is rated on the load that its given .. not the number of speakers or anything else. how you wire up the subs a particular way, thats the load you've given the amp to work with.

i think the L7's are 2 ohm dual voice coil, so if ou have two of them you'd want to wire each voice coil in parallel to give the amp a 1 ohm load (1500 w output)

just get 2 2ohm dvc L7s and the Kicker 1500.1 amp. run the voice coiles in series and the subs in parallel to the amplifier and youll have 1500 watts going into 2 ohms. thus 750 watts per sub.... unless you have found a 1 ohm stable amp, which kicker mono amps are not.....

yea do what chris said, you should be fine with that set up....btw jason your wirirng is wrong , two 2 ohms subs would make a 2 ohm load not 1 ohm load...other than that you were right on except you and the OP didnt know the spec of the amp.....its really 750W @ 4ohms X 1 and 1500W @ 2 ohms X 1 rms.....

obviously but you posted two 2ohm dvc subs

"i think the L7's are 2 ohm dual voice coil, so if ou have two of them you'd want to wire each voice coil in parallel to give the amp a 1 ohm load (1500 w output)"
