so i have two 4 ohm (wish they were 2 ohm)kicker solo-baric L7 15's in a seperated box with somewhere around 6cu.ft. of airspace. (not counting the polyfill) im pushing them both with a 700Wx2 2 ohm stable Boss Amp, runnin off a "crappy walmart issue" 1 ferad capicitor. they are wired in parellel as well.

now they do hit pretty damn loud, but not as loud as i expected. i do need a crossover still but that aside... any ideas? should i get a bigger amp, better name brand maybe? (kicker amps are damn expensive) or what if insted of one spkr per 700w channel, i bridge the channels and hook both subs up to both?

in the end i want earth-shaking bass, good responce, and the amplifier to not catch on fire. lol leme know what u think.

Get a real amp.

 

lol the amp i have does suck rather badly.. any sugestions on which new one i get? tryin for cost effective, but sound takes a higher priority over cost at this point.

 

Are they single 4ohm or dual 4ohm?

 

is that box ported or sealed? did you build it to the specs in the paperwork with the speakers?

i also suggest having a ported box. i started off with a sealed box sounded ok than my buddy made me a custom ported box and you def can tell a big difference

-Tt</TD></TR></TABLE> OK, a few things first, The Kicker S15L7 is a 1000W (RMS) sub, you have 2 of them, you need an amp that will make 2000W RMS into 1 ohm or 4 ohms, or 2 1000W RMS into 2 ohms, The recommended SPL vented box is 6 cuft plus port volume for each sub.

What is the model of you Boss amp?. 94
