hey guys alttile confused on how to wire everything up, i have-
BOX: 2 square sealed box

Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) 500 x 1
Power at 2 Ohms (Watts x Channels) 250 x 1

1) would this amp be strong enough to push both speaker, and how would i wire it?
2) can I just tap into the Bose amp and try to run rca without a LOC? will my amp convert it automatically?
3) what is the max lenght of the ground wire from the amp to the chasis 3ft?
4)with this amp will i blow anything like an alterator?

Thanks

 

Well, the first thing I see, which could be a big problem.

The box you bought (EBAY link you posted) has round holes while the speaker has a square configuration.

Secondly, those subs will likely be underpowered. If the amp puts out 250x1 (rms) into 2 ohms, then the max. each speaker will see is 125w when the speakers are rated for about 600W (rms)

Ground wire should be as short as possible, although not really required. You could run a ground wire all the way back to the battery if you wanted to. The only issue is the ground wire (return) would have a higher impedance than chassis, so you'll get more voltage drop.

This amp is not going to blow any alternator. Its a very low power amp.

 

Actually just found the PERFECT amp for you.

This ORION HCCA amp will be perfect your set-up. It will drive 800 Watts (RMS) into a 1 ohm load.

Just be warned, its not class-D, so its not very efficient. Going to require some huge power.

Hell, i may buy it. $245 BUY IT NOW is a STEAL for this amp.

And DON'T let the old age of these amps full you. These are some of the best power amps ever made. They sure don't make them like they used to!

 

i know i got the box already, so i guess my last question is how to wire the amp/speaker i have 2 l7s

and will splicing the wires from the back and converting to rca, would that be the right signal? or would i need a LOC

 

i know old amps are better but i am not looking to spend that much, and the 2 L7s reguire 1200 rms power

 

you aren't looking to spend 300 on an amp but you wanna power 2 L7s... looks like you have no idea what you're doing

 

you can get a nine.1 from elemental designs for under $200

1200rms @ 1 ohm @ 12.5 volts

so roughtly 1400rms @14.4 volts

 

you are right!, i am trying to teach myself what the classes are and the ohms...i am doing alot of reading
