the Solo Baric series i heard hits really hard, so i decided to get soem S8L7s
they are dual 4-ohm speakers with 450watts max.

im looking to get a profile amp because they have a nice warranty and are good amps from what i hear.

basically im curious what kind of power i want to run. there's KenWoods that i would get that put out 150X2 for thesame price as a profile putting 200X2

one profile does 200X2 @4 and 400 or 450X2 @2...i don't plan to blow em, but should i stay away from it for safety?

all opinions appreciated.

I would connect the two coils in parallel for a 2 ohm load. Look for an amp capable of 400 watts rms into 2 ohms. Solobarics don't sound their best untill they get driven hard.

You can only achieve a 4ohm load, or a 1ohm load with 2 Dual 4ohm subs.

Solo's never sound good no matter how much power you give them biggrin.gif , just spl....

"Driven hard" by that you mean give them full rms or more power I hope.

I was refering to each sub being wired to 2 ohm. Not the total of both.

Yes there are better SQ subs out there. I was refering to the fact that solos can sound pretty good (for an spl sub)in the right box. While in the wrong box they are really loud but really boomy.

MDF is medium density fiberboard. Available at lowes and home depot and such. Around $20 a sheet.
