i thought id just post about what it is im having installed. in my secon gen im installing my kenwood deck, american legacy 2000w amp, and my 12in kicker l7 in a custom box along with a new alarm. does any1 else have this sub in there car? also do u think this will be too loud...haha j/p

 

what kind of custom box/where are you putting it? just cur. and btw, as long as the sound's balanced, it won't be too loud

 

2000 watts??? Youre going to need huge wire for that. Also, you should probably look into purchasing 2 farad's-worth of capacitors (e.g. two 1 farad caps, four .5 farad, etc), or soon you will be looking into buying a new alternator. The alternator won't like the huge, instantaneous power demands of 2000 watts (you need ~1 farad for every 1000 watts). Although, since it's American Legacy, it's probably not really going to push 2000 watts (unless youre playing a 1000hz sine wave for a fraction of a second--which is how they probably came to that rating), so you might be able to support it.

In fact, if it's not too late, I suggest you read this to find out if you really want that American Legacy '2000 watt' amp:

(pay particular attention to the RATINGS part on that page)

I heard the L7 in a store awhile back... it was a little muddy and power-hungry for my taste, but it's possible it was just the box they put it in.

Good luck,
Eric

 

thanks...nah its a 2000 watt 2 channel amp. i wasnt goin to push 2000 watts thats 2 loud in a 7. yeah i got a couple of .5 caps so my battery doesnt go out as fast. i kinda trust the american legacy amp because its tha old series that was underrated and my frien ha a 400 watt 2 channel and it did a good job pushing his subs and the sound quality was good.

 

legacy amps suck!(jus my opinion)...I had an L7 15" w/ an orion HCCA 225 amp in my 1st gen and it was ******* LOUD!!!!.....Keep the sub get a real amp!.....make sure you use the correct air space for the sub because if it is too big kicker will void the warranty....BTW solobarics kick *** in RX-7's because they require such a small enclosure....jus my $.02
