What amp for 2 KICKER S12L7-4 12" L7 SOLO-BARIC'S (4-ohm) ?

Question:
I have 2 KICKER S12L7-4 12" L7 SOLO-BARIC's 4-ohm, would it be better to use a 2 channel bridged, or a mono-block amplifier? And how would I wire it up to match the the selected amp to get the most out of the amp? Im kind of confused on the whole ohm thing...

Answers:

I got an premier 3000spl w/ 2 12inch premier subs in a jackhammer mtx encloser (because i blew the mtx's up)

On my opinion, I would choose a mono-block amp. I find them more simple than bridging a 2 channel amp.

I need recommendations for which amp to go with two 10" kicker comp. subs?

Now those subs are 750watts RMS each. You shouldn't pay any attention to the MAX wattage. It will only confuse you and is completely useless in most cases.

I am going to build an audio system for my car and wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on a great system.?

Together the subs will need 1500watts RMS to bump at their best. I would recommend pushing the full 1500watts.

Now the next thing you need to look at is the "voice coils". What is the impedence(ohms) and how many there are?
Those subs have 2(dual) voice coils, and are 4 ohms.
That means you can wire them in either of these ways.

My stereo wont turn on?!?!? details below?

Now this is were the "ohms" come in for the amp.
If you choose to wire them into a 1 ohm load, than you will need to find an amp that rates at...
1500 watts RMS x1 @ 1 ohm

How can i hook up my ipod directly to my car stereo (without using the cassette- or radio-based devices)?

The different impedences(ohms) and number of voice coils on subs are only used for getting different ohm loads from the amp. They do not affect the performance of the subs.

What is the best 6x9 speakers?

The ohms on the amp are different levels of resistance. The higher the ohms are the less power you send out, but theres less distortion, less heat, and longer amp life.

Does anyone know how to take the face plate off a Pioneer DEH-P5800MP In-Dash, so it can be removed from car?

I hope this helps you understand everything better.
