no match for those subs, do not do it.

I believe that you could get by with one 13w7 instead of 2. You than might be able to use a 500/1 amp but that too would really not drive it to its potential. It is one hell of a driver that is all you will ever need thats for sure.

it would be about the same. and im thinking it would be cheaper then 2 1000/1's, two amps are better then 1, but the orion would put out more power and im sure those subs can take more than there rec rms.

No it is not the orion is most powerfull at 14.4 at 1ohm, those are 3ohm speakers, go to jlaudio.com, the 1000/1 is the bteer amp since it puts out 1000w at 11-14.4volts and is 1.5 to 4ohm rated. the optimumn powere for those subs is like 750 to 1000

would the orion even handle the ohm load? and if so, with both hooked up what would the wattage be going to each speaker?

All amps will be more powerful at 14.4 besides jl slash and pg xeon,im sure he will have at least 13.8v of power, and the jl is not a better amp, just depends on what ur looking for, the orion is more powerful, the jl is just more versitle, and more exspensive

I ran that amp on 3 orion P15s, it iwas just ok, also i beleive it draws more current then the JL, takes alot to feed it. do not get me wrong it is a nice amp, but I just think the JL is better suited for the Subs and gives a little more flexability as far as ohm loads are concerned.

i agree with 100% but unless he is going to change subs soon who really needs more wiring flexablity, hook it up and go.lol, also if he has a HO alternator that can meet the current demands he will be find. and what are the specs on those p15's??

IMO - what i would do is return 1 of those subs & take a JL 1000/1 amp in its place & put that sub in a ported box .........

Means that amp can run at 1ohm, 2 3ohm speakers =1.75 or so, it is fine, and If you check JLs site it tells you what amp is recomended for that sub, Either the 1000/1(not turned to much, or the 500/1. Over power those subs and prepare to replace them, they are meant to be efficient without a ton of power.

but i foreget where i saw it, it said that my 1.75 ohm speakers have dual sumtin so they run at .75 wtf was that about? and if u run two speakers it doesnt drop the ohm load?

Yeah, they are dual 1.5 so wire both of them up to a 3 ohm load, then bring it back down to 1.5
