Actually Fraz I just know what works and is needed to get the job done properly. That kind of knowledge comes with years of experience, and not by asking stupid questions. I think you're the only noob LMFAO'ing!

How will 2 Kicker SoloX S12X4 do with a Hifonics XXV Sampson amp ?

Or is that too much bass n i should just stick with something not more then 2000 RMS ?

And im just asking because i want to get something nice before i get it , future shop has some crappy stuff and not powerful enough .

ok Fraz let me give you a good advice, no joke. The best way to see what you like and what meets you needs is to get something, anything, and see if it's good enough.

if it's not what you want then you just upgrade. if it's good enough then you are done.

upgrade should not be a problem b/c you are alot of money.

this is the best way to go about your situation.

Dude.. .I TOLD you that Kicker isn't crap. Whoever is telling you that they are has no clue.

Also, this same person should be telling you to stay away from MA if anything.

As a point of reference... you can buy MA Audio at XSCargo! How does that say "quality" to you??

You're all over the map with your choices... having cash doesn't help you if you don't do research first. So please do yourself a favour and do some reading. Once you've decided what you want based on research come back and ask us.

(by "research" I don't mean ask 1 friend who knows nothing about audio and thinks Kicker sucks..)

reading? are you joking? reading is so old school. who does it these days? yuck

i don't understand though, why people who give sound advice are talked to like they are umm... have some ****ing respect. if you want to get loud, yuli is probably one of the best sources to get your info from... ughh.

ok, how will a kicker 2500 watt RMS amp be for 2 L7's and the biggest problem is my car has a firewall which kills bass alot of people told me that , is there anyway i can make that bass come out n be heard outside of the car lol ?

And how many hertz should the box be tuned to ?

The box, if you want "everyday" listening type stuff, should be tuned somewhere between 35-45hz.

As for the Kicker amp & the L7's... great choice. They'll do very well. You're right, the rear firewall in the 5-series will be a problem, but there's not much you can do about it. IF there are speakers in the rear deck then you can remove those to allow bass in to the cabin but then you'll lose those speakers.

One question though... why do you want to be heard outside of the vehicle?? Aren't you usually IN the car while driving it?

Yea but i also want to have somethin loud , if i wanted plain sound quality i wouldnt by these subs i would by 2 alpine type r's with a small rockford amp n nice 4 speakers .... But i wanna get loud lol .

i can remove the speakers in the back but then i will only have 2 5.25 inch speakers in the front , the speakers are alpine and there 100 watt rms each u think four of these will be enough hooked with a nice JL 4 channel amp or if u know about some other nice amp let me know .

And btw do u think i can run 2 Kicker solo which are 2500 watt RMS each with a nice amp which puts out 5000 watts rms @ 1 ohm ... ( If u know of any amp please let me know ). Will the be able to run on a 120 amp alternator and a 2600 cell Kinetik Battery ?

will 15" will be better or 12" kickers , heard 15" go loud n have more SPL ?
