So Ive been debating with myself whether the Kicker system that i want, will work with the xB. Here is what I plan on running:

Kicker ZX750.1 - Kicker S15L7
This amp is rates at 750w RMS @ 2 ohm

Kicker ZX200.2 - Kicker RS56.2
This amp is rated at 70w RMS x2 @ 4ohm

I wont be running this system even close to the potential. Probably will keep the gains low which will also work well with the Eclipse 5V preout.

Should I worry about too much amp draw on the alternator? I really dont want any issues with the electrical, at least any issue that I could avoid by not over working the car. If this is too much, I might just downgrade to a ZX400.1 and a S12L7 to be more on the safe side.

Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

 

You should be fine, put a cap.on it for good measure, it's not like your running xs series high current amps. :D

 

I'd say you'll probably be fine.... might get some slight dimming when you crank it - but shouldn't be bad..

 

I don't think that you will have any real problems with that setup. Maybe do the Big Three Upgrade.

Larry. That system is close to the setup I am going to run. Here is my only comment. The Kicker 12 L7 requires 750w RMS. the 15L7 requires 1000w RMS. Anything lower and you will not get the full potential of the sub. That and the RS Series is a recommended 100w RMS @4ohm

 

Yeah, I got a good deal on the zx750.1 so I just jumped on the good price. Same with the S15. I would've liked to get S12 but nobody wants to take the S15 out of my hands.

I like the S15 though for the show aspect since that thing is big. The Kicker website reccomends either the zx750.1 or zx1000.1 for a dual 4ohm S15. I know I prob wont get the most out of the sub but I think I will be content.

And the RS ones are rated at 90w RMS. I would have gone with the zx250.2 for them but again, I got a sick deal on a zx200.2.

I dont think it will be much of a problem in terms of SQ since I prob wont play the system loud or push it very hard. I was more concerned with the xB electrical being able to handle the amp draw since the alternator only outs out 80amps.

Thanks for everyones replies!

 

i was running the zx850.2 and 2 zx200.2 in my xa. i have a 1.5 farad battery cap. worked great!

 

thanks, just what i wanted to hear. i guess im just going to wait for the zx200.2 to arrive in the mail, and get started on the fiberglass.

 

ive gota kicker 600 and 375 watt amp. with a 12' l7 on the 600 watt and 2 sets of ss comp. on the 375 watt amp. it sounds good and i have no problem with the lights dimming.
