I have two kicker 12 inch 2006 Kicker L7's, Dual voice coil, 2 ohms each coil, I'm going to wire both speakers so the amp see a 2 ohm load and i'm going to be using a zx1500.1 with 1500 watts @ 2 ohms. Does this seem like it will work?

I see no reason why it wouldn't. I would series the coils on each sub making a 4ohm load each..then bridge them both in parallel to the amp for a 2ohm load.

As with any setup adjust the gains properly, use the proper enclosure and the subs will last, you have plenty of power.

i have 2 l7's also, i needed a amp for a few days so i rented a 950 watt kicker amp and the subs hit pretty hard, im sure your set up will be just fine...why not hook it up and find out?

Clean power!   that is the diffrence...if you set an amp properly then you can overpower a speaker untill it meets its mechinical limits,   takes alot of time using an O scope to get it right before you quit blowing equipment.   Thats how I run nearly 3500 per 10 inch sub in competition use

Good answer Jeff.  Back in my competition days I was running 1000w RMS to a single 12w6 in a ported enclosure. and it would only blow when I wanted it to.

lol...but its fun to watch how long subs will last when plugged into wall sockets...also how many watts would a wall socket (120V AC 60Hz) put out???
Ok I read the other post about it lol but I'm lazy.
How much power would a socket put out at 3 ohms??
Cuz the last old school JL 12W6 me and my friend fried lasted for about a full minute before locking up...thats pretty tuff for a sub rated at 300 watts
