Recommended Setup

I'd like recommendations on what I should use...

Ignore tbackpr0 that's my eBay ID. Was going to sell them... If anyone is interested PM offers! (need money!)

As you can see the setup is 3 Kicker S12L7's. What amp's should I use with this setup? Also will need an amp for my inside speakers.

you have to tell us some more info on your system, what are the vc config of your subs, what are your interior speakers, how much cash you want to spend, do you have a good cdplayer? and i wouldnt reccomend using a new sub and 2 old version subs in the same box. what kinda car is it going in? what are your main goals spl or street use? how much power do each take RMS.

This would be for street use. Why don't you recommend it? I do not know what vc config means.

My radio is a JVC KD-LH910

My front speakers are Alpine SPS-130A's (30 RMS) and my rear speakers are Alpine SPS-690A's (50 RMS).

The whole system will be in a 94 Bonneville.

because they changed thier specs on the speakers so it would be like having 2 kicker subs with 1 alipine. they arnt the same speaker so they wont mix together. VC= voice coil

Should still sound great don't you think? And for the voice coil, I would have to ask the friend I bought them from ;/.

Also I don't think they're different speakers just different designs. As I see them on sites everywhere (same model) with these 2 designs. That's when searching under "Kicker Solo-Baric L7 02S12L7 12" Dual 4-ohm Voice Coil". Still don't know what ohm's these are tho.

it just depends on if they changed anything from year to year

Im not sure but if they did change ANY spec on the sub you cant wire all three together.

If you did they may not play at the same rate, the Ohm load will be instable. Just not a good idea for many reasons beyond your capacity. Take our word for it or not

As far as an amp goes your going to need some serious power for it. That means nice large power wires and electrical upgrades. It certainly wont be a cheap visit to walmart...

They are diffrent, the one in a middle is the newer model. Its rms rating is higher than the models it replaced. So no they won't work well together. It might be an ok set up if you have seprate amps for them. Then again the third still might hurt your over all SPL and SQ. Considering the rms rating is diffrent, most of the other specs will be too.

i would suggest just getting a dual solo box made and use the older ones and put a 1000 watts on those 2 and sell the newer model. also who ever put that setup together i wouldnt suggest getting help from them.
