cool thnx
i got it - it just is 3 ohms - hook it up..

if the sub runs optimally at 500W and the warranty voids is running it over 1000W, and the amp specs are as follows:

Kenwood KAC-9152D
1,800 Watts max power
500 Watts x 1 max (4 ohms) RMS
900 Watts x 1 (2 ohms) RMS
900 Watts x 1 (1 ohms) RMS

will it run at somwhere between 500 and 900 watts.

will i have to get a new alternator to put all this in my cadillac?

and even though 3 ohms isnt listed in the specs, it should work?

yea because it does 2 and 4 it just goes right in the middle you shouldn't run .5 ohms on that it might fry but going inbetween ohms like thats ok

someone in the amplifier section on this site is telling me this amp wont power a jl 10W7 like i want it to.
he is suggesting better amps.

think the kenwood amp is ok or is he right?

this amp is ok... BUT the jl 1000/1 is BEST for the sub, it pushes it to its FULL potential. 700 RMS is good, and you should be satisfied with it. unless you are expecting to like go to compotitions you'll be fine. go to www.realmofexucrsion.com and look up the JL w7's most are powered by a 1000/1 JL amp..
