will one ppi 1200.1 be enough to power 3 kicker L7's??
 
will the 1200.1 ppi amp be enough to power 3 12 inch solobarics dvc 4-ohm L7's??? if not then will 2 be enough??? any suggestions on amps is welcome so i can get the best power to those subs.

how many watts is the 1200.1? this guy i sort of know is running 2 PPI 600w amps, dont know model #, on 2-12" L7's and its freakn loud...i can here him rolling up from like 1/2 way into my school..and when you stand next to his car, its like the ground is shaking...my goal is to have those 2 amps powering my subs, cuz its plain kick assssss

nope not enough power

3 dvc 4ohms? How do you plan on wiring that? You wouldnt even be able to get 1ohm outta it.. you might be better off with 2 DVC4 for final load of 1ohm. (which is what most class D's put max power out at)

(note i have no idea where ppi 1200.1 puts out max power, tho im guessin 1200w at 1ohm from its model #)

im gunna run them parallel so i can get a 2-ohm load. i dont think those subs can handle a 1-ohm load

please correct me if im wrong i dont want to mess up the subs. hey dave, do u think i should get that ppi amp??ur suggestin is needed cuz im going tommorrow to buy it

subs dont handle loads. subs PRESENT loads to amps. its amps that can or cant handle loads.

3dvc4 in parallel would net you like a .66ohm load. i dont remember how to calculate it, i just remember the standards like 3 dvc6's, or 2 dvc 2/4 ohms..

sub#1 4-4 =2
sub#2 4-4 =2
sub#3 4-4 =2

they would become 2 ohms EACH in parallel. If you parallel 2 of those subs, you'd have a final of 1ohm. The third should drop you to either .5 or .66. Doesnt matter really, cuz your amp probably cant handle it.
