Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 13 Registered: Jan-07 | Hey guys, I think I want to purchase this Kenwood amp: 2006 KENWOOD KAC-9102D 1700W MONO I am searching for a sub and I heard Kicker was a great brand. I saw this kicker: KICKER SOLOBARIC S12L7 L7 12". The kenwood is 1700watt/ 850 rms @ 2-ohm, while the Kicker sub is 1500watt/ 750 rms. Is this a good match? Also, the Kicker has a 88.84 db while the kenwood has 93db, and I heard that I should try to match these numbers as closely as possible. Will this work? Thanks |

Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 166 Registered: Apr-06 | that amp is overrated get a kicker zx750.1. that will do ya nicely for the l7 but mind you that is will sound bad. it is a spl sub so it will be loud though. if you want something that will sound better get a soundsplinter rl-p |

Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 16 Registered: Jan-07 | Kyle, sorry I do not understand what you mean by spl/rl-p. I came across the zx750.1 right b4 I saw your post and was going to ask about it. Im guessing spl means squared and rl-p means round. If so, does all round subs sound better than squareds? |

Silver Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 667 Registered: Aug-04 | spl means Sound pressure level. Meaning how loud it gets. The rl-p is a type of sub you can find it here. www.soundsplinter.com |

Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 21 Registered: Jan-07 | I looked around for subs with "sound quality" and they seem too expensive. Can anyone tell me what they think about this set up: Amp-Rockford Fosgate Punch P6001bd 325 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (600 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms) Sub- 12" Rockford Fosgate P312D4 power range: 100-500 watts RMS (250 watts per coil) peak power handling: 1,000 watts |

|
Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 22 Registered: Jan-07 | I guess somewhere around the $400-450 range. |
|
Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 307 Registered: Dec-06 | $450 for the sub and amp? Also, what are you looking for out of this setup? Do you want sound quality or do you want extreme output, or a little of both? |
|
Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 23 Registered: Jan-07 | im thinking 450 for both.....im just saying that because thats what i come up with when I price things on ebay. I search for things at crutchfield or best uy then look for them on ebay. You can recommend amps/subs that total near $500-550 range. And Im thinking about output and quality, but willing to sacrafice a little quality for the money. Would rather have just one sub as well....thanks again |

Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 310 Registered: Dec-06 | Thats a pretty tight budget but I think you could swing a 15" Fi SSD (or 12" if you have space issues). And for the amp to stay within that price range I would maybe go with the Memphis 16-PRD1000.1. Don't forget you are going to need a quality (preferably homemade) box and wiring... http://www.ficaraudio.com/ http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/ And here is a couple sites to help you kick the Crutchfield/Worst Buy habit: http://www.woofersetc.com/ http://www.sonicelectronix.com/ |

Bronze Member Username: KhollaPost Number: 25 Registered: Jan-07 | Is MB Quart a good brand for subs? I came across this: http://www.cardomain.com/item/MBQDHG304D will that work good with the kicker zx750.1 amp |
|
Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 311 Registered: Dec-06 | No. And especially in that bandpass box....it would sound like utter sh!t. The ones listed above are in a whole different league than those. |
