right now i run two kicker 12'' solobarics powered by a kicker sx1250.1 amp. these subs are dual 4 ohm voice coils and i wired them positve to positve and then out and negative to negative and then out and bridged them at the amp..so what kind of power is each sub seeing right now??? but my real question is can i run my two current dual 4 ohm vc' subs and an extra dual 2ohm vc L7 all on the same 1250.1 amp???. im currently building a bigger box for my two L7's and i have two more L7's sitting in the closet so i figured id try and throw another one in there......

1: According to the manufacturer's CLAIMED specs, you should be powering your woofers with 625 watts each. It is a Kicker amp, so take that number with a BIG grain of salt. 450 to 500 is more likely, as a real-world number.
2: No. It'll be too low an impedance without some wierd, freaky-deaky wiring scheme. COULD you make it work? Not easily at all. In any case, would it EVER be optimal? No. So just don't even try it.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
