How do you wire your kicker L7 in your memphis amps, did u use the 2 pair of channel? What I mean is like your bridging it? Using the positive of 1 pair of terminal and the negative of the other pair? Cause I am also confused, I have also memphis 1500rms and kicker L7. The memphis gives 750 rms at 4 ohms. Since my l7 is 2 ohms dvc. I only wire it in series @4 ohms. I can't wire it to parallel cause the memphis is not 1 ohms stable.

I love the whole memphis line of amps. I currently have 2 Mojo 4KW's. This is the baby mojo but don't let that turn you away. This thing rocks. My friend has one and hits 150 db's. This is actually better than the 4KW in my opion because you don't need all the expensive upgrades like alternator, lots of batteries and so on... Buy it. I promise you you'll love it..

This is a very solid amp and very efficient. I ran this unit off the stock electrical with no problems. The amp is also quite underrated, even with slight voltage drops this amp was tested @ over 1800rms. Only thing that i dislike would be the 4ga inputs, had to use an adapter to fit my 1/0.
