Before I start this video.... I recently heard a 1200.1 watt kicker amp & it raised a eyebrow I was very impressed how hard that 1200.1 pushed my friend two twelves ... I could only imagine how this 1800.1 sound
@@d.i.mdoitmyselfgarage8874yes I agree the box has a lot to do with it but how stout is your charging system because stock alt/battery can only make 1k-1,500w at most so you'll need at the minimum a 2nd AGM battery or even a marine deep cycle would work and then you should see around 2k watts clean from this amp
My suggestion which isn't worth much lol. Get a bigger box those babies suffocating haha. I used to run 2 l7s in a double L port box 141.6 db before I moved to a more powerful kicker amp. Still nice though man I'm about to drop two of these with a kxa 1800.1 amp. All 0 gauge 100% copper wires with a 2k watt stinger battery. Gonna hurt the bank on this one probably going to cost me like 2K 😂
Turn everything down and only turn up the lpf to the middle of a couple clicks to the left. That's rounded off to 30 to 80hz. Gain Turn all the way right. Basically once you hear distortion bring it back alil till you don't hear it no more.
Adding to my amazon wishlist... i dont think i will be adding this.... going 12 inch downfacing radiator box... kicker... id rather feel the bass than have to hear it.... besides im in a mini suv.... im gonna use the CXA800.1 sub woofer amp.... and use the yellow cs series all around doors... with an amp ... i havent figured out which amp yet... im trying to go all Kicker.... wires ... fuses... all Kicker... knobs... controllers.... all Kicker.... in a 2018 basic...

Thanks for the comment, I’m already looking to get something better. These twins just doesn’t hit as hard d as I wanted. I’m looking at some T2 13”or 16”
That port can't even fit a butter knife throguh it 💀 Box is just about everything in a sub.... These things are huge too. They need far more air to breath and push. People think you can slam any subs in any box and it will sound good. You can make a really great sub look and sound like shit
I’m buying that 1800.1 amp for my 13.5 w7, I hope it bumps harder than that 😶. Even off of a factory head unit it should hit a lot harder at its full potential . You need that blessed down and tuned my friend…
I hope so too. Unfortunately it didn’t bump for me. I drop impedance to 1 ohm too. I had a friend that ran Walmart amp with one 12 D4S that bump harder
Did you get your issues sorted out? Because L7's pound. But I am using the same amp on a JL Audio 12w7 and it beats hard. So I know u got a wiring issue or something going on.
That's prefab. And it sucks. Too small. I sold it. My new one is one L715 Q, this one I'm build a box. Be one the look out for the video. Thanks for watching.
@@d.i.mdoitmyselfgarage8874 These Subs love port area and enclosure volume but a custom box with the subs optimal enclosure volume and port volume well really help them shine I’m about to do the Q-class 10s in a tiny Dodge neon but give them 3-4 more cubes and see what they do before the solo X get here…
Keep in mind that you can only make so much power with the available amperage and voltage it takes power to make power bro, i had two of these cxa1800's wired to 1ohm each on a pair of 18's and it pushed them to the max they're not rated below 2ohm so please do not wire them below that unless you trult know what you're doing! I knew my reqctive loads and it never saw below recommended impedance also it was being fed from a 370amp alt with a limitless lithium 25ah battery per amp so they had all the voltage and amperage they could ever want lol-ol-ol
That looks like you only have 300 watts to them compq L7s....if you truly have the kicker cxa1800.1 wired at 1ohm those subs should be banging up a storm....something in your setup is not right.
Did you figure out the issue? I had 2 p3s set down to 2ohm with this same amp and it sounded like crap, I pulled the subs and now I’m working on getting a single 15” skaar
@@d.i.mdoitmyselfgarage8874 honestly I have the same exact amp, waiting for my compQs to come in. in order for me to get max power out of my amp I had to upgrade my alternator. I read you are using a stock 120 amp alt. That’s what I was using before too and it would go into protection mode when the bass hit hard, then come out when it was turned down, keep in mind this is with a tuned amp (tuned it using a multimeter). I ended up going with a 250 amp alternator with a big three upgrade to beef up the wires and allow the current to flow all zero gauge from kicker. Big difference my friend and I hope this info gets to you or you already did upgrade your alternator. The amp alone if fully powered will take 150 amps, which is more than your alternator could provide.
Naw he's just not pounding them, there's no way that was cranked all the was up....... he said the are not even tuned yet so it's safe to assume the are pretty new and therefore are still in the break in phase. he just don't want to hurt them
you need a second amp these subs are like 1300 ech rms and you need more power but hey you can get like a 600.1 and be really close to maximum potential but sounds good tho
I totally agree with you. Its too small. I jugrafe the whole thing. I went with one L7 15 “, built my own box since it was so hard to find a bigger volume box and rplace the ca1800.1 with a punch power series amp 1500.1
heyy bro no hate towards you but honestly kickers are not that good of a company in my opinion they dont do you right as much as other companies do but hey great video man!!!
No worries, I got rid of the kickers already. Got punch power series coming on my next videos. I totally agree with you. I have to say, that L712 Qs look good tho.

Gains should be set properly and low pass should be around 80hz don’t mess with bass boost or subsonic. You’ll see the difference
Thanks, I try it.
I put it at 35 hertz I like playing low bass music not high bass unless I would do split burps or something of that nature
You use subsonic if you have a ported box he has a ported box
You definitely do use subsonic…

go with 1 12 kicker L7 Q Class in a 3.0CF box tuned to 32HTZ with same amplifier and you will be happier than with this 2 subwoofer setup.

Did you need a high output alternator?
I did not, my factory alternator is capable to support it. Its rated at 130amp

Just lc3 pro and my built in LP filter

It's the box, I have 1 15" L7 now with good size box and it's a monster..
Box is 85% of your bang….for a pair of 12s, you need at least 3.5 cf with 3/4in mdf wood…
@@justbreeze1991 agreed, I believed that box is only 3cf
There’s an issue with your wiring man.

Sound louder then my subs at idle. Lol

Should be getting way more flex

What speakers are you using for signal
I'm using LC2 pro
Are you using the door speaker to get your signal. The reason I ask is it has more bass Than the rear deck speaker.
