Why would you put this amp to a woofer that has a max manufacturers rating of 500 watts RMS? Come on people think before you post.

Hi,
have these and running a fosgate 851s amp, its a 2004 with 850 wrms mono 4 ohms, or 425wrms x2 at 2 ohms. It sound nice. What type of box are you putting these in, sealed or ported and what volume. If you have the money get the new alpine 1000 rms, its a perk if u have the new 05 deck cause you can operate the amp from your deck..

Hey konrad100, and everyone else... i have been trying to choose on speakers and amps... i was thinking about going with alpine subs.. but i know the JL w7's are loud.. i have a car though.. hmmmm umm... i was thinking about gettin 2 1000watt amps and put one on each alpine sub.. or get the w7s and get a 1000 watt amp. any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ------------- SSounds

man i would recommend the same amp that i have for one type x from alpine, if you want biggggg bass, then run one amp on one sub, that shhh would pound. i have never heard the w7's but i know they are loud.

... and .... What the deuce? JL's W7 line can be a high powered great SQ sub... If you are wanting loudness, there are different options(I don't venture into SPL, but I know the JL isn't #1). I'd personally go with the w7's between the two because I love the SQ, but if you are looking for loudness, look elsewhere. On a side not, I'm sorry, but some of the shhh I just read is absurd.

there are alot of subs louder than a W7. but they wont have the SQ. you want a real loud sub ? if you got the cash go for a SoundStream XXX . and the XXX amp to power it. www.soundstream.com . also the 15" T4. AND 15"SPLX wiil produce more SPL than W713 ------------- 1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700
