My kicker solo baric is moving to the bass but is not putting out any sound. I've swapped the subs to see if it was the sub but it wasn't. I believe it is the amp but im not sure. The amp is in protection mode as well. What may be my problem?

hello, first i would find out what ohm your sub is cause you may think your setting it up for 4 ohm you may be going 2 ohm or 8 ohm. here is the link to for wiring solo baric. http://kicker.com/wiring_diagrams

The bad news is that your voice coils could be fried up, basically mechanical failure. Might as well buy a new sub because replacing a voice coil means you got to rip the whole sub apart, very complicating.

On the amp there should be High pass and a low pass setting. Put it on low pass cause if its on high pass or in between it produces normal noted like a speaker. Low pass will filter out all the high frequencies.

The speakers should be fine but i wouldn't push that much power to them thay are now in a weaked state

is it for house or car, do you have it wired to a amp.

Hello rigo11785,

The MTX Thunder 1501D is stable at 1ohm and outputs 1,500 watts RMS into that impedance. An L7 with 2ohm DVC's would present a 1ohm load if wired in parallel and would allow the amp to produce more power than into the 4ohm series load. The problem is that the L7's maximum power handling rating is only 1,000 watts RMS, so if you wire the coils in parallel, you'll very likely overdrive the sub and perhaps damage it. Now, if you bought another L7 and ran the voice coils in series and the subs in parallel, that would be a 2ohm load and well within their power handling capability.

With that amp and sub, I'd recommend leaving the voice coils in series.

Hope this helps.

Make sure to tune the amp according to the subs. Turn all the levels down on the amp, then start with turning up the gain till you can tell the sub is struggling, from there turn up the crossover to around 120hz. Then adjust the gain again as now it will prolly be to high. Also it depends on how you have the subs wired up.

The best you can do is connect the dual 2 ohm voice coils of each respective sub in series (4 ohms total per sub) and then connect each sub to one channel of the amp. This will give each sub 1000W, which is the rated maximum from Kicker.

common problem of this subs are in the litles cables that goes to the voice coil. few times brock....check those. another .....if you heard the music too hihg with many bass..and your amp ..i think is big block... may be you blow off!!!!!!!!! the voice coil and the little wires...im calling trencillas...are the aquiles talon of this L7 and a manny others kickers. check the ¨TRENCILLAS¨ FIRST.
