i want to make my system louder
right now i have two 12 inch Kicker solobarics L7's (the square ones). im running it with a fosgate punch 800a2. i want to know if by any chance i could run the amp so i get more bass out of it. it hits hard now, but i want it to hit much more. i know the barics can take it. or do u recommend another amp??? all suggestions are welcome.

do what he said, check where the punch bass is set at, that plays a huge roll in bass output with them Fosgate amps.
BTW, are they in the proper size boxes?? too big of a box for those subs and you will loose alot of DB. I belive they should be at .85cubic ft per sub with polyfill for a 12".

I would wire each subs voice coils in parallel to get a 2 ohm load and then run each sub on its own channel. You should get about 500 watts to each one then
