Hello all, I really need someone's help and will greatly appreciate it. To start off I am going to buy a 15" L7 Solo Baric, a square shaped one. Basically I don't know what else I will need except a box, and an amp, obviously cable too. I need to know...

1) What kind of amp do I need to buy for this woofer? (Brand name and size under 250$) I don't know what amp channels are and what they mean either.

2) What size box? are there different types of boxes one better than the other?

3) Can I buy just any CD player for my car that I like or do I need a certain kind?

4) What kind of cable will I need and how much?

If there is anything else that I forgot, please add. I don't know much about systems and my best friend that was going to help me is now dead =( car accident. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this and your help is appreciated!

1) look into a hifonics BXi1206d...you can get them for ~$250 new on ebay.

2) w/ a 15" L7, i would go w/ ~4cuft net ported box tuned to 35hz w/ about 50sq inches of port.

3) yes, you can get pretty much any CD player...you just have to get an install kit to match your car

4) this amp kit will get the job done:

If you go w/ the L7 15" and the hifonics amp i suggested...make sure you get the dual 2ohm L7.


You may want to look into another sub other than that L7. L7's get loud, but sound like a55.

please stay away from the Kicker L7's. they are unreliable, and not very durable, and they have poor SQ.
