2 kicker 15l7s or 4 jl audio w3v3? he

Right now Ive got (2) 15" L5s and a Planet audio VX2200D to push them. My buddy wants to buy them, so ive been looking for some upgrades, and this is what Ive come across, I need your opinion. Ok, heres what I've found, 1 guy is selling me 2 15"L7s with a Planet Audio TT2250D, which seems to have almost the same board as the newer VX200D that i have. So, I was gonna buy his setup, and put my VX2200 and the TT2200 each on one sub. The L7s are dual 2 Ohms, so they would each be wired at 1 ohm, which will suck out full power from the amps.Im getting this setup for $380!! Or i can just get the subs for $200. Obviously, then Id have to buy an audio battery to support both amps.
The 2nd deal i got, is to buy 6 JL Audio 12W3v2-d2 for $350 for all 6. I was just gonna use 4 of them with the VX2200D i already have, but they would be wired at either 2ohms or 0.5 ohms and I dont know if the vx2200 will be stable at 0.5 ohms, but it puts out 1700 watts at 2 ohms. I think each W3 is 300 watts RMS and 600 watts max. I thought that was cheap for all 6 W3s, or hell sell me just 4 for $250, but i thought for $100 more the other 2 were a good deal.

So, im asking you, which setup should i get? It will be going in a 1998 Cadillac Seville STS. Thats why id only be able to use 4 of the W3s. I can just resale the other 2. So, is it 4 12W3s and the VX2200D or 2 15" L7s with both amps? Im sure the amps put out at least 90% of what theyre rated, but if im wrong, please do correct me. Thank You

definitely jl man we all know kicker is for the uneducated rattling trunk guys that can tell the difference in sound quality

do u mean dont use multiple amps, or dont use two different amps? A guy here in tx thats in alot of forums told me they were the same amp, just newer model. He repairs amps for lots of people in the forums. What do u think?

4 w3's and one amp is the way to go

The question you have to ask yourself is whether you trust this guy's opinion enough to spend several hundred dollars of your money. Because if you do purchase the second amp and the combination of the two amplifiers sounds like something coming out of the south end of an Elephant (well more than usual in the case of the Kicker subs) then you wasted your money.

That Planet amp has a lot of power available. It should be more than enough to power either of the speaker choices you list by itself.

You can even see the boards in the pictures on his website, hes highly recommended in multiple forums, I think hes trustworthy, check the links. Either way its not a waste of money and its nowhere near expensive for whats being bought, if i had the money Id buy both setups, just because they are both great deals.

db-r is a good amp repairer...but I still wouldn't use both amps for the same purpose...Those amps are power houses too.
