How should I connect my Kicker S12L7 2 ohm sub to my jensen 900 watt amp?

Question

The sub has 650 rms at 1200 watt peak, the amp is a jensen power 900watt max 1channel. what is the best way to connect for the best sound.

Answer 1

the best way to connect that sub to that amp is not to connect it at all- you are setting your sub up to be blown

that amp is VERY over rated- you would be lucky to get half of the advertisd RMS wattage from it- you need to look into CEA-compliant brands

CEA-compliant brands have been tested and produce or exceed their advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion- here are the CEA-compliant brands

Alpine  

Bazooka  

Blaupunkt  

Clarion  

Eclipse  

Infinity  

JBL

JL Audio  

Kenwood

Kicker  

MTX  

Pioneer

Polk Audio

Rockford Fosgate  

Sony

here why you need CEA-compliant companies- if you dont know the real RMS wattage you will be under or over powering your subs

If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.  

When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub.

how many ways r there?
