Kicker l7

[mdn14]

Well. I finally got the sub for Christmas and built a box the other day. The box sure isn't pretty but it's solid as a rock and is behind my seat. I didn't build it for looks so don't be hatin. I don't have any of it wired yet but the kit is on it's way. I'll be back to fill you in on how it sounds.

how big of an amp do you have pushing that? i have had several l5s but no l7s

 

[mdn14]

Well, I'm going to wire the L7 to 2 ohms so the alpine mrp-500 will be giving it 500 watts rms.

I don't have that much room haha. My 8 inch will pound fine enough for me though.

I have some leftover polyfill from making my box. And I as wondering if I could use it to put behind/around my rear speakers. Would the polyfill help them at all? Maybe sorta trick them into thinking there's more room back there than there really is?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSMhGsOJgio there my old l5 i didnt realize it was wired at 1ohm so it was getting around 700rms from that amp. i thought that alpine was 1ohm stable?

 

[mdn14]

Nope. Just 2 and 4 ohms. 300 watts rms at 2 ohms, and 500 watts rms at 4 ohms.

I really need to get this thing hooked up but the company I bought the wiring kit from is taking FOREVER!

i heard a type r alpine on a rockford 1000d and it pounded, ive always prefered the memphis amps over the alpines. why dont you just pick up a wireing kit locally>?

 

[mdn14]

Because all of the local stores around Akron Ohio think they can charge the mrsp of a product... Like $130+ for the Kicker ZCK4 wiring kit. Got it online for $79.99. I'd rather wait than pay an extra fifty. And I've never heard a memphis amp hooked up to anything before. Got the alpine used for $80.

Got this sucker hooked up last night and this is one amazing little sub. It beats for being an 8 inch. If anyone is looking for a quick and powerful little sub in their ranger, this is it. It also has one heck of a low range and adds lots of depth to any music.
