Ok, well i have two 12 inch kicker L7, and im running a 1000 watt kenwood amp to them, and i have gone threw about 20 fuses.. im guess the amp is just not going to be able to handle the subs, so i was wondering is there anything i can do to fix this? or can someone suggest a good amp to replace the kenwood with?

You sure there is not a fault to the amp or a grounded connection in the wiring

went threw, and rewired everything twice, it just seems that when i get to a certain volume level, the amp/fuse gives out.

Is the amp capable to perform to the Ohms you are presenting the amp?

ok, well i found 2 amps that look pretty good to me, i will be running it at 2 ohms, so which do you think would be better out of these two?

you shouldnt be blowing fuses, check to make sure that you are wiring everything correctly for whatever amplifier you have and make sure there are no shitty connections.

You may not be providing enough power to the amp there buddy. What size wire are you running for your +12 and ground size 1, 4, or 8? They should be the same size too but not required. Those L7's are dual voice coil aren't they and you are only running a 1000watt amp thats only max right? Get a bigger amp, also like Ryan said is that amp able to handle those subs being wired to 2ohms bridged. If not you lucky you haven't fried it yet.
