Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / August 2005Kicker l5 and amp wiring
Hi all, This is my first post so I hope you can help me... To be fitted into a mini!! I currently have a kicker solobaric L5 dual 2ohm 12inch sub (the blac one) And a kx 400.1 Amp, I am unsure of how to wire the sub to it to giv the best bass, I dont want to blow anything up!!! Please can you hel and tell me the best way, I have heard about all this ohm stuff bu please explain. Also I am looking at 2 10inch type R Alpine subs and an amp to run the both, will this give good bass along with the kicker? Fitted into the car also are 4 kicker 6X9s, 2 kicker 5X7 components an 2 kicker door speakers. 2 6X9s are running off my alpine mrv f350 am along with the 2 5X7s, the other 6X9s are to be powered from my alpin headunit CDA-7893R Sound ok? Cheers Mar -- mpcooper Are you talking about the speaker wire to the sub? Any wire will do, assuming it's thick enough to be able to handle the amount of current that it'll be passing. You can estimate the amount of current by simply dividing the output power of the amplifier ("RMS") by the impedance of the sub. Then go to a site like bcae1.com (I think that's it) and go to the wire section. There you should find a table that tells you recommended wire sizes for different currents.
