How to wire my 2 kicker L7 dual 2 ohm subs to one ZX1500.1 mono amp
Hey whats up guys i have a couple questions. Ok i have a custom box
sealed for my 1990 chevy silverado ext cab frontfiring box sealed at 1.4cb ft on each side, now i bought two Kicker L7`s dual 2 ohm and I bought a zx1500 mono amp. Should i wire the subs parallel or in a series. i want to bridge the to subs into one channel. The l7 are 1500 watts (750 rms) a piece and the amp is 1500 watts. Please give me some ideas and the way i should do it right. |

Wire the subs up series/paralle for a 2 ohm load. Place a jumper from the positive of coil A to the negative of coil B on each sub. Then wire the positive of coil B of each sub to the positive of the ampifier and the negative of coil A of each sub to the negative of the amplifier.

Please give me some ideas and the way i should do it right.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So your saying run them in Series Not parallel? I already wired them to parallel, havnt hooked the amp up to truck yet still have my setup out of the truck to make sure im doing this right. This guy at a car audio told me i would fry my amp this way because the kicker zx1500 isnt 1 ohm stable. When i read the directions on the kicker book it says 2ohm Voice coils = 1 ohm load, so i thought that if i have two 12' L7 subs i would have to wire them para. to get my 2 ohm into apm from amp how ever you word it. i want 2 ohm load from both subs into my mono amp 1 channel. so i though i would twist the negs and the two pos. from the back of my box and hook it up . he said you dont add you divide or something of that sort because i added 1ohm and 1 ohm twisted together would make 2 ohm right or wrong? Now my directions say for serieswiring " REMember i have Dual 2ohm Voice coils " Dual 2 ohm = 4 ohm Load Ok heres the Directions word by word WiringOptions " i have 2 ohm " Solo-Baric subwoofers are available the [dual 2ohm] or dual 4 ohm voive coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplification.The dual 2 woofer will generate a 1 ohm load if the coils are wired in a parallel or a 4 ohm load in series. The dual 4 ohm woofer will provide a 2 ohm load wired in parallel or 8 ohm load wired in series.The terminals with the white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals with solid red and solid black markings are for the second voice coil. Parallelwiring: Dual 2 ohm voice coils = 1 ohm load Dual 4 ohm voice coils = 2 ohm load Serieswiring: Dual 2 ohm voice coils = 4ohm load Dual 4 ohm voice coils = 8 ohm load is there way i can bring down the 4ohm load two a 2 ohm load? The guy said you could wire them series for a 4 ohm load then bring them down to a 2 ohm Let me know thanks much |

Like I said wire them series/paralle for a two ohm load total lol.
is there way i can bring down the 4ohm load two a 2 ohm load? The guy said you could wire them series for a 4 ohm load then bring them down to a 2 ohm Let me know thanks much |

I heard you should break the suspesion in on the sub/subs before bumping them really hard in the long run you will get better bass response and they will last long .. is that true?? Im ganna play it safe anyways thanks again. |

I read that somewhere im not sure if it was the kicker website or what but im ganna play it safe anyways for a lil bit. Thanks again TTYL |
