Wow. This crap makes no sense to me. So If I only get one sub and I get a mono amp. I want to get a dual 4ohm sub instead of a 2ohm and that will give me a 2ohm final load?

ok with a dual 4 ohm sub you can get either a 2 ohm or 8 ohm final load. when you run both + together and both - together you will get a 2 ohm load. when you run the + of one voice coil to the - of the second voice coil and run your amp to the - of the first and + of the second this will give you the 8 ohm load. i know that you are getting pretty damn confused off of this so here is what you will do if you are running one sub off that kx750. get a dual 4 ohm. when you wire the sub up you are going to run both of the + together and both of the - together, then to your amp. this will yeild a 2ohm load. you want both of the + off of each voice coil to come together and run to the + on the amp and both - off of each voice coil to come together and run to the - on the amp.

you make a good teach :) The sub on ubid says its 4-Ohm Impedance. Is that the same as dual 4 ohm.

that must mean that it is a 4 ohm final load, it is a prefab sub box that is preloaded. so if you run that with the kx750.1 then you are only running 350 rms at 4 ohms.

So since its a prefab its already wired to a certain ohmage? (is that even the right word..ohmage) So in that case the 2ohm is what I need since it is already wired to what i need.

lol. I normally wouldn't care. In my cavalier I have NO idea what the subs were (2 15's) and I had no idea what ohmage the amp was. I don't even know what brand the amp was. The 15's were legacy lol. But if just by getting it all at the right ohms will help out, I don't mind reading as much as I can and then trying to get someone knowledgable to make sure I'm right. I think a 10l7 will be plenty of bass for me. I'll be looking somewhere around 5-600 for the 10l7 and the box and the 750.1 I'm still not sure if it needs that much power, but a 300.1 is around 150 so I dont mind spending an extra 150 to get 450 more watts.

if you get a preloaded box you are going to want a 2ohm, if you get a box and load it yourself then get a dual 4ohm. you are better off buying a seperate box and loading it yourself.

I'll probably just go the easy way considering that the box is made by kicker and I'm sure they got it half way tuned right. Plus just the price of a 10l7 here is 175 the cheapest I could find it. So I'm only paying 25 bucks for the box.

if i where you and you are going to use the kx750.1 then you might want to drop down to the l5 if it is a 4 ohm loaded box, the rms load on that is 400 watts rms. it is nuts i know but if that is the amp you want to run you have to look at this stuff. you want to play within the rms range of these subs, you will thank me later.
