Hey i've always loved music esp the electronic part but the math part is confusing. I have 2, 15'' kicker l7s dvc 4 ohm each coil @ 1000w per speaker (they are connected to give the amp a 2 ohm load). run by 1 2000w american pro amp(rated @ 2 ohm). They both are in one sealed enclosure. But the base isn't satisfactory. Could you guys help?

Also i have a 400w 4 channel American legacy mid amp but don't know what speakers is best to keep up with my base. I am currently using 2 , 6*9'' audiopipe 3 ways @ 500w each and 2, pyramid dome bullet tweeters @ 250w each. Is this recommended???

American Pro amps are seriously overrated. Think about upgrading.

I would upgrade your amp too a kicker 1000.1 or 1500.1 and step up to a ported box.

How are you wiring the subs. 2 subs with 4 ohm dvc will net either a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load. An upgrade to more power will help, as well as a ported box.

I don't have anything cool to put here yet.

you could get alot more out of that with a better amp like said above and definately wiring the subs to a 1 ohm load so the amp puts out more then 1/4 of its full power.

There are many amps out there for under 300 that will give you 2x the amount of your current one.

and definately go ported.
