Box and Amp Help?

[smokin_clays]

ok im getting a brand new kicker solo-baric Sub from a guy at work for a good deal. im wondering what sort of box i need for it? model number is S12L7

Also how big of an amp do i need for it?

Thanks!

is it the s12l7-2 or s12l7-4? knowing the voice coil configuration determines the final ohm load and affects which amps will work best for you. the sub itself can handle 750rms so anything 500 and over should work nicely. here are the box specs from kicker:


Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) .88, 24.9
Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 2.0, 56.6
Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 1.75, 49.6
Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 3.25, 92.1

it is 4 ohm. thanks for the reply

[nineball]

so look for an amp that does 500-750rms at 2 ohms and you should be fine.

ok another good deal i cant pass up, my friend has a 1500w rockford amp hes going to sell to me. is this going to be ok as long as i dont go overboard with it?

[nineball]

model?

[smokin_clays]

Model is P1500.2

[nineball]

you sure that is the right model number? i can't find anything on it.

[smokin_clays]

Maybe its P1500.1 i'll check to make sure


*edit* looks like he got the shaft from best buy, its a p5002

[nineball]

you won't be happy with that amp. not a good match for the sub.

[smokin_clays]

could you tell me what would be good for it then? something thats not going to break the bank preferably

[nineball]

everyone's bank is different. what's your price range?

[smokin_clays]

Well I'd like to keep it under 250. As long as it isn't too rediculous

[nineball]

takin it to a pm

You can get an alpine MRD-M605 for around that price. Runs around $199 online and puts out about 600RMS.. Great reviews on it too!
