i was thinking about getting 2 8in L7's. I was wondering if anybody has heard them or has them. I am planning on putting them in my center console downfiring. I would run a jbl bp600.1 amp to them. I like to listen to mostly rap and heavy rock and am looking for these to have alot of spl.

honestly I really didnt like them,    didnt find much more output from then then a decent set of 6 1/2's     I am sure if given a little more space they would do alright, but in a center console you might have trouble finding the room they wil require

will he be happy with 8 inch subs? Im thinking wrathchild wants a good amount of bass but can only fit 8"subs inside his center console. Should he scratch the idea of getting 8's and not build the center console box and take out the back seat and build a custom box to mold into the back of his truck? Give me some input.

I have the Solo Baric L7 10' in a slot port box designed by Kicker and it pounds.  I am powering it with an orion 4002 amp bridged.  I think they put out some awesome sound, clean bass, and they do not require hardly any airspace.  I would give it the thumbs up!

Well, I have an Orion 4002 Class A stereo amplifier powering mine right now but if I were you, I would try one of Kickers class D mono amps.  They are definately worth thier bang for the buck.  As far as how you would wire the subs, it all depends on what type of amp that you get and what ohm it is considered stable at.  If you parallel the voice coils and series the subs you will end up with a 2 ohm load which is pretty common for most amps.  Let me know if you have any more wiring questions and I will be able to help.

Well if you wanna use one amp to power both drivers then you need something that has either a ton of power at 4 ohm mono or get an amp thats one ohm stable. What kinda power are you looking for? JBL makes some one ohm stable amps that are really nice and pretty affordable
