Rockford Fosgate 1001bd

This amp says it is 2 ohm stable with 1000 watts x 1 rms.  I need to know if this is a good amp to push to solo baric L7's 10 inchs.  Also if anyone can tell me if it is a good amp or not.  It is fairly cheap for a 1000 watts.

it depends on if you have the dual 2 or dual 4 ohm voive coils.  if you have the dual 2 you could wire them to a 2 ohm mono load and it would work quite nicely. if you have the dual 4 you will wire them to 1 ohm, 4 ohms, or 8 ohms. In this case you wouldn't want to run the amp in 1 ohm, so in 4 ohms you would be giving each sub 250 watts RMS. And 8 ohm isn't worth it. If you have the dual 4 ohm version, I would recommend the JBL BP1200.1. It is 1 ohm stable and not very expensive either. There are other amps that would work too, but that is my personal recommendation.

I have the dual 2 ohm one's.  What other amps would you recommend to use?

the rockford fosgate you were looking at would work great. so would the JBL BP1200.1 that I was talking about. there is also the alpine mrd-m1000, hifonics brutus bx1500D, ppi pcx 1500 are a few i found really quick. you need something that puts out 900-1000 watts RMS x1 at 2 ohms, or 450-500 x 2 at 4 ohms. however a 2 channel amp that outs out that much power at 4 ohms is going to be pricey.
