I have a memphis 1000d RMS Power 4 Ohm 300X1, 2 Ohm 600X1, 1 Ohm 1100X1. I'm thinking about getting a JL 13W7. Will it be alright to push this sub with that amp? Also should I wire it in parallel at .75 Ohms or in series at 3 Ohms. Thanks!

I dont think the memphis amp would take kindly to .75Ohms from the sub, i think you would want to run it @ 3ohms but then you'd only be pushing like 450 Watts, You may want to reconsider what sub your going to be purchasing,

truthfully the 13.5W7 should be run off JL 1000/1 due to the impedance matching of that amp.

but if you must have a 13W7 then look for an amp that puts out ~ 1200 W @ 1ohm.. then run the sub @ 3ohms

Uhh, I don't understand this post. That amp he mentioned pushes 1100 W @ 1 ohm which isn't far off 1200 W. I think maybe you meant 1200 W at 2 ohms and then run it at 3 ohms? That would be the way to go in my opinion. You also might be able to find a high-current amplifier that is stable to .75 ohms but that will put a big drain on your electrical system and amps that can handle that tend to cost more too.
