iits a ported. if i did use a 1200.1 amp what would happen would my amp fry or the subs.
because the circut city warrenty is i can swap out the subs for brand new ones at any time no questions asked. what would be the most powerful amp i could use with two 12 CVR's 800watt?

So you probably built the biggest box for the L7. They reccomend 2.25 i think for the 10", but thats after disp. and port i think.

Why was ur port a pain? Just because of having 2 subs or other issues? My box was pretty straight forward to build...pic of it in my profile.

I have Bach's tocatta and little fugue on vinyl and CD.. Telarc and a few other recordings.. one of my favorite baroque pieces, along with Fur Elise.

There's nothing like blasting a good pipe organ playing little fugue in G minor, crusing at 140MPH.. it's quite a rush.
Makes ya understand why the Germans love their Autobahns so much.

PBStud...if you used a 1200.1 on those subs, you would most likely fry the subs. You would be giving each sub 200 watts more than they are rated for.

Look for an amp that is 800 watts. If you get the dual 4 ohm woofers, it needs to be 800 at either 1 ohm or 4 ohms. If you get the dual 2 ohm woofers, it needs to be 800 at 2 ohms.

it was a pain because the way I had to build the box, the ports had to be bent. square ports, 90 degree angles, recalculating to compensate for the bends, etc. Each sub is in it's own enclosure, side by side, basically. You're right on the volume too. That rang bells.

Yea...thats how i built my box too. Looking down from the top of the box, the port makes an L shape. It wasnt too hard...but kinda time consuming. The effort was worth it though. I HAD 2 10's in a sealed box, but fried the V.C. on one of them. SO i put the good one in the ported box and i think its louder than the 2 in the sealed box ( i think that makes sense ).

I dont think i will ever go sealed again.

edit: I should actually give my dad a lot of the credit...him being a carpenter and whatnot .

I'm going back to sealed to get the back of my Jeep back. I keep my spare on top of my box and I can't see past it. I've got 35"x12.5" tires on my Jeep. So, I'm redesigning the back to better accomodate the new larger spare and other stuff I'd like to throw back there. I'll miss the mad boom, but I have to get practical. I just bought a Jag also and am thinking about putting a system in that. My girlfriend won't hear of it, but it's my car so it doesn't really matter what she says. :)
