I have 2 kicker 12 inch L7's and they rms at 750 watts...so i bought 2 kicker zx 750.1 amps and i plan to wire an amp to each sub....how do i need to wire them for the sub to get all of the power from the amp...the subs are D2

you cant. you can get 375 at 4 ohms from each amp but you wont be able to get 750 cuz they arent 1 ohm stable

looks like you got the wrong amps...you should return em and get an amp that pushes about 1300 watts at 2 ohms...then you should be good

get the kicker 1500.1 and youll be set, youll be able to wire your subs to two ohms, power the subs well, and use only one amp

well if i cant get 750 to one sub out of a zx 750.1 how can i get 750 to each sub using just one zx 1500.1?

with 2 subs that are DVC 2 ohm you can wire the subs together at 2 ohms. the zx1500.1 puts out 1500W RMS at 2 ohms. so each sub would be getting 750 Watts of that 1500 W

heh, problem is that. I plan on running some MB Quart Components in the front and Keeping my 1000 watt for two Cerwin Vega 12"s. So i need to figure out how to wire up 2 amps so i can power both. And about the tweeters that they come with, just get a hole saw and pop a hole in a larger part of the door?

you wire the amps the same way you would if you were running just one. run remote, power, and rcas to each. ground to bare metal on body. set gains and done. its not rocket science
