Where to buy...

Dont buy one. Make one. 
But seriously thats what I suggest. Its a 15" Woofer so its gonna be a bigger box. How you gonna install it? Rear Seat Delete? Anyway what Amp you running? Those are 1000 Watt RMS correct?

lol making one is out of the question.RockstarMentality said:
i have a ghetto-fab rear seat delete and a ghettoer-fab stereo lol, and a kicker 700.5 amp. theyre 700w rms (hence the seven in L7), and the sub output on my amp is 420rms.
ill have to post some pics of my new setup its gonna take me an hour to describe it

did not know that about the 1000w rms.
yea its underpowered but it'll still bump. thats a 15" square... itll displace some air. if i come across a killer deal on a 1000w amp ill do it but otherwise im fine with the setup now
another question tho... ill do my best.
it has dual VCs. this is how its wired right now. Option A
amp ---- (+VC1) (-VC1) \ <-- is suposed to represent a jumper wire
\--- (-VC2) (+VC2) /
option B. keep in mind the amp only has one sub output
/---- (-VC1)
amp ---- (+VC1)
---- (+VC2)
\---- (-VC2)
that pobly makes no sense to anyone but me, but if you can read it please explain what would be best

Well Is it dual 4 Ohm or Dual 2 Ohm?
You want the least amount of resistance to produce the most wattage. That is if your amp supports it.
If its a dual 2 ohm you can run 4ohm
If its a dual 4 ohm you can run 2 ohm.
Thats running them in Parallel.
You should run Positive to Positive and Neg to neg (using the jumper) then Output 1 Positive and 1 Negative to the Amp....
If I remember right that is.. :tongue3:

Dual 2ohm coils. So the way it Is right now, option a, that'd be in series, right? And for max output I want them in parallel?
More info on said amp?

Yuo're probably going to have to make a box simply because of how small our trunks are. You might be able to find a box but it probably won't fit back there.
But if you can't do that, next step is going to an audio shop and either buying a pre-made one or having them make you one but it's going to be a bitch finding one to fit that big ass sub in our tiny ass trunks.

if i have a box, i can lop off the backside and hack it up to make it fit, but i cant make it all on my own.
imna just buy one off ebay and hope for the best.
i bought the sub, now its gonna fucking fit lol

LOL. Yeah the whole its too big for the hole problem. I run into that alot......
Anyway, a DVC Sub at 2 ohm a piece is gonna get you 4 Ohm Resistance. So you're gonna need a hell of an amp to push it.
Or you can use 1 Ohms. That usually requires a more expensive amp. But only sometimes.
Id run with a Kicker DX1000.1
Its 1000 RMS at 1 Ohm....

you wil have a real hard time getting a prefab 15" box fit in the trunk. IF you are puting it in the back seat then do NOT go ghetto and have it just sitting in the back or worse yet trying to rig your seatbelt to hold it. MAke sure it is mounted or if you rear end someone someday that l7 will be the last thing to go through your head...
