I got four of these today with the kicker enclosure and the kicker 2400.1 amp and I can't breathe in my whip and my wifes hair blows everytime the bass hits! Best 1500 I spent.
Amp overheating due to ohm load. Those are probably 2ohm min load & are probably parallel to parallel loaded @.05 ohms. Recommend series parallel load @2ohms. Ohm laws it took me forever to figure that ish out when I first started doing my own installs. Wondered why I was blowing speakers and amps. There's no positive and negative connections no more, it's all dual connections with three different ways to wire it for different ohm pulls. That amp by far for probably 30 plus years holds the title of best bang for your buck 💪🏾
amp is overheating because its not getting enough current from the alternator and battery. you will need to do the big 3 upgrade and add a second battery on systems putting at least 1000w. if you dont do the upgrades you can fry your amp and subs or overheat the alternator
Yes big 3 for sure . The amp is overheating because it is a $100 "1800" watt Hifonics amp. Junk amp that probably puts out 600rms at 2 ohms at most. Im sure the subs are wired for 2ohms, because most "loaded" enclosures are. The amp is being stressed, so the protection kicks in. This has nothing to do with the big 3 upgrade.
I have a sundown SA E V3 1500 w I intend on running for the same speakers but what I'm trying to do is set this up in my vehicle without having to upgrade my alternator or battery I'm just going to get a better head unit is there any tips for anything or do you think this is good enough
Got the 15 in a custom box I built tuned at 32 hz my stock head unit is attached to climate control but it has a stock amplifier so I just grabbed the LC2i Pro to get that lost bass roll off and it clean it up with the ideal voltage for my amp.
Silicone licence plate frame is key. That thing is a LOC which costs $20 + install. If interested, I have 2 Kicker 12 L7Ss (blue stitching) powered by 1500 CEA rated RMS watts, OFC 4G wiring, 2 F cap, LOC, Q-Bomb box (best $120 spent), and the "Big 3 Upgrade" which is a MUST! Basically is like having 2 gorillas body slamming each other in back of my SUV (300hp Ford Edge)(love this car!)
That amp on its best day only give you 900rms and that's if you have perfect electrical which you don't. So, around 700 +/0. If you get a decent amp it will sound better. But kickers due to their insane surface area always get loud even on low RMS.
@5:49 PLEASE tell me you aren't running full range thru those. Sounds like it (i know hard to tell on UA-cam) but also sound like the voicecoil(s) are cooked. That higher pitched distortion sound I'm hearing. Hope I'm wrong. They will still play for little bit but the shorting VC will cause the amp to heat up and can burn out too. Again, hope i'm wrong.
Ok but like what's the best brand? Idk how to hook up anything like that. I have an 2002 Ford expedition but I want a 10,000 watt system but these sound shops here in Nashville charging too damn much. So how can I go about getting all the equipment without spending damn near $20,000 which is what 2 different sound shops here in Nashville quoted me and that's just for a 5,000 watt system.
yeah i live right up from ya in clarksville,reply back to this and ill shoot ya my contact info,i can find ya some good deals,a buddy of mine johnathan owns d4s
Im sad I bought dual comp r 12s off somebody online. I was saving alot of money over time. Bought a new kicker cxa1800.1 and a new kicker pkd1 1/0gauge wite kit and new bass nob and head unit. Got it professionally installed then found out the subs were tampered with in the box and re wired wrong and the amp basically blew the left sub that was wired opposite and blew 2 fuses. So thats why I'm looking at this video cuz I might buy these subs. I have a bmw e90 328i and the car produces 185amps and is a beast at keeping the 1 12 comp r I have playing at max power. It sounds good but its not enough lol
I recently got 2 L7S 12’s and I think I have a ground shaker ported dual box not to sure but do you think I’ll be good running both those on a 2200 watt hifonics amp ? Or if not what would you recommd
I got the same subwoofer setup in a 05 Altima, just have an aftermarket pioneer deck and a Rockford Fosgate amp. Shit pounds hard got it installed in San Jo. Got the same problem with the trunk rattling I desperately need dynamat lol.
@@LuvsCouponsNGaming I actually upgraded to two Rockford Fosgate P3 12s with a ported box & a Hifonics Brutus 1200 amp , sound quality is a lot cleaner than the kickers imo. Also added Rockford Fosgate punch 6.5 and 6x9 for highs & got a Lanzar 1000 to power them. Thinking about uploading a video of it.
U didn’t bridge it to 1 ohm ur amp that’s why it turns off wuey u have it at 2 ohms u should bought Rockford fosgate 2 12 T2 with Rockford fosgate T2500.1
1800 watt amp trying to power 2400rms subwoofer your amp is under powering your subs going to cause your amp to overheat get a 2400rms or 2600rms amp you been fine
Hey everyone I'm new to Car Audio I have dual kicker l7s pretty much in the same box probably an older version now I am about to get a sundown V3 1500 watt amp to run these in my 2001 Ford Ranger is there any tips you all can give me I have a car audio buddy who's going to help me
Kilmat your entire trunk. I have 2 l7s in a kia optima with 0 rattle. 100 plus dollars on kilmat and an entire day of time made my system go from rattle to dazzle
All that rattling is gonna be hard af to go away bro 😂 I used to have an Altima and my setup was dope just couldn’t get all that rattle to go away it’ll need ALOT of padding
those hifonics amps are crap, shit performance, shit ratings, crazy price for some of them. and the amp getting hot for no reason and turning off is because you have a bad ground not completing the circuit properly, make sure you attach it to a metal part of the unibody.
Need some dynamat for that trunk and license plate as well. Other than that sounds dope! I'd recommend upgrading your "Black box" thats referred to as a loc. its basically a interface for your OEM factory deck. I highly recommend the Audio Control LC2i Pro. Its worth EVERY penny. Look it up on amazon.
I hate fox body mustangs but God damn that thing in the intro looks like dog shit and if you actually use the right amp for those subs it would hit 10x harder get a 3k amp which is what it calls for and not a 1800k amp
Those do not require a 3k amp rms are 600 each so 1200 for the both. If he is getting 1800 out of that amp that is plenty learn the difference between peak and rms ratings before commenting

get a big 3 and get a 1200 watt kicker amp you will get true rms power from that amp
What's the big 3

Exactly this, my two 300w 10inch kickers would shake the roof like his did, i expect just one 12 baric to do the same
Get audio control lc2i it’s better than that low level converter and it will be more louder

Go for a Alpine Amp with the correct rms rating

What do you think about this set up for a 2001 Suburban I’m either looking at the 2 15’s or just a single 10 ported one let me know on your feed back
2 15’s you will be satisfied. i plan on doing a review on 2 15’s sundown audio soon in a 2006 cadillac XL
Whatever you get, make sure you get a custom built box bro, its all about the box and also make sure the RMS from sub match your amp
I recently got 2 L7S 12’s and I think I have a ground shaker ported dual box not to sure but do you think I’ll be good running both those on a 2200 watt hifonics amp ? Or if not what would you recommd
There's soo much more power from mono amps ... You need a 3200 watt mono block amp ran at 1 ohm n unleash more from those subs
I got the same subwoofer setup in a 05 Altima, just have an aftermarket pioneer deck and a Rockford Fosgate amp. Shit pounds hard got it installed in San Jo. Got the same problem with the trunk rattling I desperately need dynamat lol.
What size Rockford amp?
@@LuvsCouponsNGaming I actually upgraded to two Rockford Fosgate P3 12s with a ported box & a Hifonics Brutus 1200 amp , sound quality is a lot cleaner than the kickers imo.

U didn’t bridge it to 1 ohm ur amp that’s why it turns off wuey u have it at 2 ohms u should bought Rockford fosgate 2 12 T2 with Rockford fosgate T2500.1
Bro that's a beast setup...u just have to set your gain and phase lower and give it a lil bass boost...thank me later
Dman Smith appreciate it bro!!💯
Bass boot Don't do shit people who actually know what they doing Don't mess with it at all
@@cuh_2023 EXACTLY! All it does is add harmonics which is basically subtle distortion.
Na man don't fuck with the bass boost please I know ima a lil late but yeah don't do it
Nothing like 2 12s cruising down the street.
ALL TRIBES MATTER*909 2 18s
Back in the day, it was 6x9’s in the back deck and you were rollin big.
@ALL TRIBES MATTER*909 16 8's 👽
1800 watt amp trying to power 2400rms subwoofer your amp is under powering your subs going to cause your amp to overheat get a 2400rms or 2600rms amp you been fine
The kicker 1200.1 amp is the best for them
Are you running OFC wires?
Nice sound system. How much did you pay for it?
Go to kicker website
@@cuh_2023 Sounds like he got em from the flee market tho. No cap. lol
Hey everyone I'm new to Car Audio I have dual kicker l7s pretty much in the same box probably an older version now I am about to get a sundown V3 1500 watt amp to run these in my 2001 Ford Ranger is there any tips you all can give me I have a car audio buddy who's going to help me
What is a epe center?
What's the difference between the L7 and L7R besides red stitching
MrPlax11 honestly, no idea
MrPlax11 More xmax with the solo baric L7 and more power handling
So the regular L7 is better if I'm not mistaken?
MrPlax11 Yes q class L7 are the best, then the solo baric L7, then the L7R
Damn. Should've gone with a class. But im pretty happy with the L7
U sold me chief.. good looks..
Your video just stopped me from putting another I7 in my car that trunk sounds horrible
Kilmat your entire trunk. I have 2 l7s in a kia optima with 0 rattle. 100 plus dollars on kilmat and an entire day of time made my system go from rattle to dazzle
It might be able to do 900 watts - ohm
Ben baller 💪💪💪
I run fosgates but the solo barics n all are badass
You definitely need a bigger amp, your trunk flexing though!. I see you from San jo and 40 minutes away in FRISCO CA
I have a 3000 hifonics Brutus you’ll think it blow it
All that rattling is gonna be hard af to go away bro 😂 I used to have an Altima and my setup was dope just couldn’t get all that rattle to go away it’ll need ALOT of padding
Brenden Kakol its all good😂 im selling them now
Ramos Brothers how much
Brenden Kakol i already sold the amp & everything i only have the subwoofers now, ill sell them for 500$
Ramos Brothers they are 2 L7?
Brenden Kakol yep 12’s
Nice man, I’m downgrading my 2 kicker comp vr 15” I need more space in my truck
They hit hard
It will sound better if you face the subs towards the back.
Your amp is only giving those subs half the power they want its not making no 1800 watts, get you a Down4Sound JP23 v1.5 | 2300W RMS Amplifier
1:32 THATS HOW THEY SHOULD BE FACING
U from hayward?
One suggestion: your next setup should be a bandpass box, and have it ported through your skipass 👍🏾
Nice setup
Buy you a kicker amplifier it will sound better
Beating heavy
Dino-Mat! Lol
what the name of the song at 5:18
Project rx8 stick up by lil bean & daboii
Ramos Brothers mad bro
U need a bigger amp atleast 3000 watts amp.
Loc line out converter
W egar
those hifonics amps are crap, shit performance, shit ratings, crazy price for some of them. and the amp getting hot for no reason and turning off is because you have a bad ground not completing the circuit properly, make sure you attach it to a metal part of the unibody.
Yo. That amp is dope.
Zip ties are available at the dollar store. 🤷♂️🤣
Need some dynamat for that trunk and license plate as well. Other than that sounds dope! I'd recommend upgrading your "Black box" thats referred to as a loc.
its basically a interface for your OEM factory deck.
I highly recommend the Audio Control LC2i Pro. Its worth EVERY penny. Look it up on amazon.
Get bigger gauage speaker wire
Def not 1800 lol
Would yu sell them 🤣??
Nate Skywalkin anything is for sale with the right numbers🤣
How could I hit yu up
You didn’t even review the subs. Thumbs down.
I hate fox body mustangs but God damn that thing in the intro looks like dog shit and if you actually use the right amp for those subs it would hit 10x harder get a 3k amp which is what it calls for and not a 1800k amp
Those do not require a 3k amp rms are 600 each so 1200 for the both. If he is getting 1800 out of that amp that is plenty learn the difference between peak and rms ratings before commenting
Altima amp is not enough for what those subs need
