I was just wondering what amp would be best for 2 12 inch W7's. I want something to push about 800 rms each and wont cut out at any volume. I've looked into 2 JL 1000.1 which are nice but pricey. I would like to find something nice and only have to buy one amp instead of 2 which can push it well. Each sub is 3 ohms and if I run both together it drops it to 1.5 ohms (i think) What amp would be worth looking in to? Thanks

The RF T20001BD would power both.
But at 1.5 ohms, its only going to push about 1500 watts rms, 750 to each sub... just an idea.

I've heard that RF isn't the best of brands, I dont know how accurate this statement is. How stable would this amp be at 1.5 ohms? I do NOT want it to cut out at all i've had that problem before with my L7's and it drove me out of my mind and so I bought W7's instead :-) Just looking for a reliable, yet powerful amp. Thanks for the response.

Yeah taylor is right. You are going to need something that does about 2000 wmrs @ 1 ohm. Becuase at 1.5 ohm you are going to be getting less power from your amp. I presonally wouldn't go with RF. But that is just me. Even though, if it is brand new (from this year) and it is their higher end stuff, it would be a pretty good choice. What kind of a bugdet are you on anyway?

I have about 600-700 to spend on an amp. I need something to push it to the optimum range and reliable without cutting out and stable around 1 ohm so it puts out a lot of power. Any other brands that fit these specs that you guys know of? Appreciate it

Is the Orion 2500D overkill for 2 12 inch W7's and will it be stable if run in series?
