This project actually had three stages that ended with a kicker warhorse amp. I started with 2 15 L7's in a 10 cf box with 2500 watts. Then came 4 15 L7's in a wall with 2500 watts. Then came the Warhorse 10000.1 amp. The first system was louder than anything I've ever had but it didn't have the extreme look I wanted. This was going to be my dream build so I wanted everything perfect. Next up I built a wall where my back seat once was and installed 4 15's with the same 2500 watt amp that I had powering the first system. This one moved a lot of air, I was able to do my first small hair trick. It was impressive but I knew I was underpowered and completely loosing my rear window sucked, I needed more power. Then one day talking to my local audio shop, I came into a deal I couldn't refuse and before I knew it I had the warhorse amp at my house with 40 ft of kicker 0 gauge wire and a pile of kicker fuse block holders. After much deliberation and trial and error, I built the last and final setup of 4 15 L7's, side by side, each with 3cf, going from one side of truck to the other. Perched atop the mass of subs was my center piece the Warhorse, which I tilted at an angle to give me approx 1/2 of my rear window. With my current setup of 5 optima yellow tops and 1 DC 270 amp alternator, I have the warhorse limited to around 5000 rms. This ended up being the perfect setup for sound, look, and longevity, being this is a daily driven truck. The amp is only working at 1/2 power and giving a nice clean 1250 rms to each sub. When more power is needed I have the ability to turn a knob and have the full 10,000 watts available. The amp truly gives you the ability to go from mild to wild within seconds.

Picked up the warhorse from a local shop for $2400.00. The amp has a lot of really nice features and works great but it's a little too big. You really have to dedicate most of your car to fit this in it along with the speakers that can handle the power. I had mine limited to 5000rms for driving around, so really only using half the amp.

Nice set up. But that's the absolute tightest truck I've ever seen. I'm jealous

Sun, 05/08/2011 - 8:43pm - Login to CommentGot metered by a shop. Meter was placed on passenger side windshield. Peak was 151.3. Pretty happy with numbers since this was my first real build and i wasn't sure what to expect. Still learning as I go, really happy with L7 subs. I was within 1db from 38 hz up to low 50s, peak was 46-47.
