Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1071 Registered: Nov-07 | well you would need an amp that will do descent power into 2 ohms the kicker zx750.1 would be a good amp for that sub i have an amp that i will sell for pretty cheap if interested. it is an Eclipse DA7122 - It will do 1000 into 2 ohms. I will sell my amp for $170 shipped My FS Thread https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/for-sale/511551.html |

New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-08 | oh ok, its okay, im looking for a kicker amp what does it mean when its 2 ohm the zx1000 at 2ohms is too much or its half powered. and what wiring kit do i need for the zx750 or 1000 like a 4 gauge or wat? thanks |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1074 Registered: Nov-07 | the zx1000 would probably be a bit much for the L7 12 as it is rated @ 750 RMS the zx1000.1 would probably put out more like 1200 RMS as it is under-rated the zx750.1 is still under-rated and is a great amp for that sub http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-ZX750-1-750w-RMS-MONO-CAR-AUDIO-AMPLIFIER-AMP_W0QQite mZ350094780778QQcmdZViewItem it is a refurb but that is basically a new amp and comes with a 1 year warranty if i were you - i would get the zx750.1 4 guage would be sufficient but it is always a good idea to run bigger wire in case you upgrade later |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1075 Registered: Nov-07 | and 2 ohm is what the kicker amps are stable at - and a 2 ohm amp is what you need for your subs vc config 1 dual 4 ohm sub would wire down to 2 ohms. you would want to use option 1 in the link below http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=42 |

New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 4 Registered: Sep-08 | ok wat else should I need am I ready to install it wen I get these items? Wat is paralell and series? Sounds like ima wire the Wrong thing lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1083 Registered: Nov-07 | series vs parallel http://www.termpro.com/articles/spkrz.html you want a lower impedence because you can get more power that way(on most amps) - wire like option 1 do you have a HU? |
|
New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 5 Registered: Sep-08 | ok ill go with parallel i think is that wat u said? and a head unit im still researching on, i limited to this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8699296&type=product&id=1199494645 981 or http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8699287&type=product&id=1199494645 912 vs the http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8677149&type=product&id=1197678340 151 or http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8673642&type=product&id=1197074853 937 i think i wanna do something different and go with that pioneer but not sure what some of the words mean lol. |

New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 6 Registered: Sep-08 | and also most of them are detachable right even tho one of the pioneer is motorized? |
|
New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 7 Registered: Sep-08 | and also were planning to upgrade our front and rear speakers in our car, an acura legend, so how will they be powered? by the HU or amp :X so more get a higher amp or stick with the 750 |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1084 Registered: Nov-07 | you would have to get a different amp for your comps what is your budget? |
|
New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 8 Registered: Sep-08 | uhm ok this is what im getting so far im guessing. bought L7 12" 4 ohms *750watt RMS to buy list: zx750.1 replacing f/r speakers to jbl's and looks like im gonna have to get a second amp for the f/r speakers. and i wouldn't know how to wire those to work lol. budget won't matter probably and the Headunit i will be getting are the pioneer deh-p6000ub |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdPost Number: 1085 Registered: Nov-07 | the zx750.1 is good for the L7 i would talk to a member here (exige audio) about component sets for your car he can also find you a good amp for them |
|
New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 9 Registered: Sep-08 | ok, how can i find this member ? |
|
New member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 10 Registered: Sep-08 | more specifically, the rear 6x9 speakers and 6 1/2 front speakers we are planning to get are these JBL GTO937 and GTO637 links below for there specifications. If its possible to calculate what the 2nd amp could be? or will a ZX850.4 will work? http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO937&Language=ENG&Cou ntry=US&Region=USA&cat=MEL&ser=GTS http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=GTO637&Language=ENG&Cou ntry=US&Region=USA&cat=MEL&ser=GTS |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1212 Registered: Aug-07 | leave the stock rear speakers in place. in a car, all the sound should come from in front of you, like a stage. so skip the rears and focus more on the front speakers. whats your budget for front speakers and a speaker amp? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SophanvickPost Number: 11 Registered: Sep-08 | no budget but my rears are both blown |
