OK I been running a 15" solo baric L7 for about a month in a nice big ported box, sounded pretty good but I wanted to give 2 12" solo baric L7's a go I am a little dissapointed as the 15" deffinately hit harder but the 12"s are a little cleaner sounding. I ran both setups from a kicker sx 1250.1 amp so now I am thinking of buying 2 more 12's so I will have 4 all together and getting another of the same amp.

Where I am confused is, if I wired all 4 speakers together they would not be a 1ohm load anymore so i'm guessing I would leave the 2 now the way they are at there 1ohm load going to amp 1 then when I get the 2 other speakers wire them the same way but to amp2? If this is correct how do I get the amps to work together, basicly share rca's i'm assuming?

Thanks for any help

if it does have a RCA line out. you can simply use that to get .the same signal to the other amp. what are your plans for power, ground ,and remote ?

take look at the power plants on the bottom of this link https://www.soundstream.com/sub/products_capacitors.html i used one before it made the install come together with ease.

Whew - for a sec there I thought BT was recommending a cap...

What is that thing? By the sound of the description it would boost voltage to longer cable runs? Is that what it does?

If no pre-outs on amp 1 just use a splitter off the first amp's RCA's.

Looks like a bling bling version of a couple of distro blocks stuck together.
