I have recently bought a Solobaric L7 15" and a Solobaric L5 15" but I don't know what amplifier to buy to make sure they are getting all the power they need. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Are there any other things I should consider buying like a capacitor or an extra battery?

The L5 15" is 750 watts and the L7 15" is 1000 watts are you trying to run both subs. Oh what ohm are the subs.

For the former reply, I don't really have a budget so any suggestions are useful. But why can't I run both together? That doesn't make sense, at least to me. For the latter reply, yes I am trying to run both subs and how do I find out how many ohms they have?

It depends on the ohm. So when you find out what ohm we can help.

On the Kicker website it says either 2 or 4 ohms. Does that help?

NO

It should say some where on the subs.

Oh thats right. They are 2 ohms each. And should I consider buying an extra battery and capacitor?

I wouldn't run those two subs in the same car.

I agree with Corey Dalton don't run them together.

If it was me I would run the L7 15" in a vented box with a Hifonics BXi1206 or BX1205. But thats what I would do.

you will need a HO alt and some electrical upgrades btw.

Mixing subs is a problem. Is not recommended. Why? because you mix tuning, response and many specs the sub has.

for the l5 i suggest the zx750, it pushes out 900+ watts any given day, all are certified with certificate, i never encountered one below 900 on cert, cea certified, for the l7, maybe the zx1500
kicker makes very hi quality amps, i used to have 3 12 inch l5 in kicker boxes with zx750 for each
