Would this work ok together I know the L7 has 750 rms and the amp has 1000 rms so I was wondering if this could blow the sub or would it sound ok together. And couldn't I just like have the settings set pretty low since its a more powerful amp then the sub or would it matter. Could I get some advice plz.

those amps are underrated, they bench at ~1200w ...i would go w/ the zx750.1 w/ 1 L7.

yea i was thinking that but i just bought the zx1000.1 on ebay an hour ago. Plus I might eventully end up getting another L7 in the future thats why i was wondering would it be ok for 1 L7 if i just dont like turn all the settings all the way up or does that matter.

what voice coil does your have?

you could get a DVC 2ohm L7 and run the amp at 4ohms...then when you get another L7 you could run it at 2ohms.

Right now I got a DVC 4ohm L7, but would this amp be ok for the sub if i have the settings set like in the middle or sumthing or does that matter at all.

thats weird that they all do their highest rms at 2 ohm. are they even 1 ohm stable?

I know they're not 1 Ohm stable but I heard my friends zx750.1 and it sounded amazing so thats why i ordered the zx1000.1 so its even more powerful

i don't think the new kicker amps are 1ohm stable, i know the old kx and sx 1200's were but those are the only kicker amps i know of.

it would work, but don't be surprised if you blow the l7 apart, l7's have a high failure rate, and overpowering them that much won't help any, and you have the wrong vc config. to hook up 2 subs to that amp.

yea i know i have the wrong dvc cuz i wasnt thinking about getting 2 subs at first but since the amp is powerful i thought of getting 2 now. But im just saying for now since I only got 1 sub this setup hopefully will work ok if I don't turn the settings up all crazy, am i correct?

yea...you can run that sub on that amp, you just will be taking a chance of smokin the sub :-)

dont be a volume monkey and you should be ok.

if you smoke that sub...go w/ a pair of DVC 2ohms later.

Alright so if ur L5 could handle 1200 then i guess my L7 should really have no problem.
