Ok, So Im upgrading my system and I have some questions. Kicker L7 ison the way. Audiobahn amp... Is this one ok? True 800watts I think. If I get It I will get a voltage meter and bassknob along with it.I will be getting a rockford fosgate amp kit. Also I want to know about Equlizers, I want one mostly for looks (so Idont want an expensive one, just one that lights up)because I think they look sweet.

I want to know your opinions on this amp along with the bass ****,the voltage meter, and EQ.

Anybody? Its a kicker 10" in a ported box If aybody needs to know.

 

well it will sound just fine, though you will probably distort is a bit too much with an amp like that... it is hard to give opinions on things like this because each person has personal biases... IMO I think it will be fine for how much you spent... but I would kick the EQ but if you want one for looks... whatever, lol. also, you are overpowering your sub a little, I would suggest getting a 12" if you can, if not get a smaller amplifier.

 

Allright thanks. All Ive bought so far is a 10" l7 and a sealed box instead of ported and the little aluminum faceplate guard thing, so that cant be changed. Also Is there a way to setthat amp down a little so it wontbe pushing out the full 800 watts? I really like this amp so I just want to know if there is any way I can make it work well.I guess Ill leave the EQ out as itwould bejust for looks anyway, no point in wasting money. I was going to have a 12 but this will be going in my truck (chevy S10 extended cab)so I wanted a smaller one so I could still use the back seat/area.



Otherwise im thinking about this amp, 500w RMS ar 2 OHMs, class D

You have the idea. Looks to be a good setup. I like everything except the EQ, like basil said. It might actually hurt your system more than help it,e****ally with a cheap one. The Kicker will handle all 800watts with ease, I can tell you that from experience. But if you want to tuneit down because it might be too loud, your bass boost **** controlls your boost, I believe it has a0-16db range. The voltage meter isn't necessary, with that amp you shouldn't have to worry too much, I guess it's just another one of those "cool" things.

Edit: You'll be much happier with the 800w amp. You can always turn that bass boost **** down, and it's nice to have that little bit of extra power.

 

Allright thank you guys. Iorderedthe A8000T and the bass **** and I just wanted the meter for looks aswell anyway. I never knew the EQ could make my system sound worse. Thanks for all the help, didnt want to ruin a new setup and waste that money.

Setup was:
Pioneer Premeir DEH-P690UB
Rockford 8 guage amp kit
pyle crappy amp
Dual bandpass sub/box combo thing

Setup will be:
Pioneer Premeir DEH-P690UB
Rockford4 guage amp kit
Audiobahn A8000T
Kicker 10" L7 in a sealed box

Selling my old setup to my friend for $170 for the amp, amp kit, and subs.

I cant wait.

 

your L7 10 will love 800 watts..... i work at a kicker dealer i would know... it's actually easier to blow a sub with to little power than too much ( if theres such a thing LOL ).... just make sure your not clipping your amp and youll be fine

 

Thanks for all the help guys, just one more question... What is clipping? Thats when Im trying topush too much power through my amp then it will handle right?

 

clipping is when a amp exceeds its power rails.... low voltage can cause it...... your amps output when hooked up to a scope should be nice and smooth... when clipping it sends a square wave to your speaker so it's like plugging your speaker into the outlet in a house..... not good..... just make sure you have a good deck with decent voltage on the rca preouts and when your bumpin your sub check the voltage at the amp with a multimeter.... than you should be ready to go

 

Like I said, I have a Pioneer Premeir DEH-P690UB so I think thats prettygood. And I should be geting a new battery before or early winter so I should be good then. Thanks for all the help guys!!
