Alpine type x or kicker l7 15?

Question

i right now have 2 alpine type x 12 inch and i want to sell them to get 2 15 kicker l, i dont really care about the quality just want loud. but my question is the amp i have two jl 500/1 i was wondering if thaut would be fine to run the two 15 kicker l7 or should i get a kicker amp??

Answer 1

Just a thought, you could use both of your JL 500/1's to power one of the Kicker L7's (One amp on each voice coil) and purchase a JL 1000/1 to run the other L7.  If you can get good money by selling your JL 500/1's, an RF Power T20001bd is a good buy to run those subs.

Answer 2

i would recommend you getting a bigger amp to power the 15's. they require more power than what that amp will deliver.

by the way, steer away from kicker amps. you can find much better amps with more power at less cash spent and stable at 1 ohm loads.

dont ask me how i know...

Answer 3

The Kicker S15L7's are rated at 1000w RMS each, and those amps are rated at 500w each. I'd recommend getting a more powerful amp, especially if you're planning on running two of them and loudness is your goal. It doesn't necessarily have to be a kicker amp, though if you were going to go kicker, their 2500.1 would be your best bet as the 1500.1 is 500watts shy of what you want. As far as the speakers go, if you're getting two of them get the 2ohm dual voice coil models so you can run each in series, which would make each sub take 4ohms, then wire the subs in parallel to bring that back down to 2ohms. If you get the dual 4ohm voice coils you'd either end up with a 1ohm load (if you do, make sure you get an amp that will support 1ohm) or a 4 ohm load (which is a waste).

Answer 4

you should get the kickers and 500 watt amp from alphine but the stock amp u have should work too :)

Answer 5

jl amps are by far the better amp. However you might want to get an amp that you can run at 1ohm that has more power than those jl's. But those really are a pretty good amp. It will hit like crazy with those amps.
