Is this amp any good? Will it power a Solobaric L7 12" sub? Sub has 750RMS at 2 Ohms. Does it compare to the rockford fosgate T10001bd or the Kicker 1200.1?
that amp is very good but it doesnt compare to the Kicker or RF those amps have way more power than that JL..a compareble JL amp to those is the 1000/1 but i wouldnt use that amp with those subs 1. its not powerful enough 2. why would you use such a high quality amp on those unreliable shitty sounding L7s?
Yes, you really would be more happy with a more powerful amp. Dont get me wrong the 500/1 is a great amp. I cant say enough good things about it, but you really should over power the subs a little as to make sure the amp never clips.
If you haven't bought the sub yet though there are much better matches as far as subs and amps go for about the same price. If you got a pair of Infinity kappa perfect 12.1's for I believe less than the L7, then you could get a jl 300/2. That would be a much more reliable system.
