Ok I had two 12 inch HE2's and blew then in like a week, they were powered by a PPI PCX2200, they were hitting pretty hard but couldnt handle the power, im thinking of getting 2 15 solo beric L7s will the amp handle them and will I be able to push em to the max? or should I go with the 12 inch solo berics L7s. And what kind of wire setup do u guys recommend for the subs, the HE2s i had them at bridged at 2ohms.

Well ide recommend 2 or 3 solo-baric 12 L5's, i mean you only have 800 max to play with. im running the jl 1000/1 to 3 12 L5's in my xterra, im hitting over 145.. so i dont know what you have for money and stuff.. but l5's are avg. $250 a peice..

well i went with the 15s L7s got them for 200 a piece but now i have to make a custom box cause they box they had doesnt fit...all in all i think i got a good deal, I just dont want my amp to over heat....

ok i think i made a mistake, friends were telling me that they are not going to have enough room to breath so they are not going to sound that good, its a trunk of a 95 accord...is this true??? they tell me if i wanted it to sound really hard to just get 3 12's L7s..

Ok, checked out the info on that amp and my opinion is why would you get 2 15" L7's with that small an amp?? Be better off using just one of them, that would be a better match. For 200 a piece yes you got a good deal, but they would be seriously underpowered with that amp, PLUS, they do take a decent size enclosure. Minimum sealed enclosure is 1.5 cubic feet. Not sure on the measurements or shape of your trunk so. Just some thoughts.

ok after thinking and thinking i have kept one 15. someone is going to make me a custom ported box for the sub...it "SHOULD" sound very deep..(i hope)...i just hope it sounds louder than the 2 12"s if done right...right???

If the box is done right then yeah it could probably take 2 12's. The 15 will definately hit lower and louder but i think the 12's would win in sq. Its all up to what you want out of it and what you will be listening to. You want earth shattering lows?? then the 15 will make you very happy.
