I have just got 2xKicker L7 10" 4ohm subs i have one 700.1DX what would be the best setup for it. can i even hook up the dx to just 2 subs or not? or should i hook up my kx300.4?

if the subs are 4 ohm SVC then just wire them straight to the amp for a 2 ohm load. friend has a DX700, and found out the hard way why its discontinued. but if yours works, great. those subs would be underpowered though, as they are 600 watts rms each.

just never really worked well. so then we said maybe its something wrong with the wiring, checked it all over numerous times, but nothing. subs would barely even move. messed with the gains to try to improve it, but nope. so then we got another friends cheap profile amp and hooked it up to the same power, ground, rca's etc as the dx700, and the profile worked fine.

his is probably just defective, im not saying yours is at all.wont push the subs to their full potential, but it will push them. those subs would be nice with a 1000 watt amp though. nothin against the amp.

The Kicker 1200.1 will be great, it was designed for those subs, other mentionable amps are a JBL 1200.1 (cheaper, but really good amp) JL 1000/1 (expensive, but very clean and a lot of tunability).

I'm Kevin's friend with the DX700. It worked fine for about the first month, now it is back at the place trying to get fixed. I have had nothing but bad experience with this POS. Good luck to you though!
