i need amps?????

Question

i need amps it can be 3 or 2 it has to push kicker L7 12 inch im getting 6 so we can get a amp that willl push 3 at a time or a amp that will push 2 at a time i dont want junk amps the kicker subs are Subwoofer Size 12" Square
Impedance Dual 4 ohms
Dual Voice Coil Yes
Peak Power Handling 1,500 watts approx.
RMS Power Handling 750 watts im not going to push them to peak but i like to put 900 on each sub so help me out

Answer 1

L7's take 750 watts RMS each. Dual 4 ohm voice coils will get you 1 ohm in parallel per pair. That totals out to 1500 watts per pair RMS. DO NOT put 900 watts per sub (1800 watts per pair) on these subs. You will have failures very soon.

You could use Kicker 1500.1 amps on each pair but they are rated for full power into 1 ohm. Your subs will not wire that way. If you have not already ordered them get dual 2 ohm coils instead. Then you can wire series/parallel to get them at the 1 ohm load. If you already have the subs then use Hifonics, Brutus class D amps. They make a 1600 watt rated into 2 ohms.

Doing the above will require 3 amps, a new alternator...at least 200 amp rated and some expert help to install it. You need help, don't do it yourself. If you're asking the above I doubt you can. You might be able to figure this out but with this much power and $$$$ involved get some help.

Answer 2

My favorites have always been JL Audio or Orion amps. You really can't go wrong with those two. I seem to remember I had a lifetime warranty on my orion amps. I'm sure JL does as well. I don't know if xtant is still around. You might want to check them out also. But those 3 are not "junk amps". So you would be fine with any one of those 3.

Answer 3

You may already know that you'll need HO alternators, if not you do.

Even though people claim that Kickers are underrated, pushing them passed their limits isn't a good idea, at least if you want them to last.

See my site for more info. There's a link to a calculator that determines what size alternator you need. You'll need Microsoft Excel, a multi-meter and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

Just be sure the amps you choose are CEA-2006 compliant.
