Im thinking of purchasing a pair of jl audio 12w7 for my car. Just need some help on purchasing an amp for these woofers. Dont know if the JL 1000/1 amp would do for the both speakers. What would you recommend?

If you want to go with other amps you can but most good 1000wat amps are exspensive. Just a couple ove my favrets in no special order.

1.Diamond audio d7 amps. 1000 $
2.rockford 1501 bd amp. 700$
3.sound streams humanreign 2000$
4.sound stream tarantula 1500-900$
5.jl 1000/1 600$
6.alpine m1000.
thers probly another 20 amps that would do the job. Just remember you need 1000wts rms for the best performence from that sub. second is money.

The only thing im worried about Keith is if I do run two amps, would it drain my battery.

I would highly rekamend a power cap a min. In my first system I had a alpin1507 running 312w6s and a alpine 504. the only other thing I had was a 1.5 stinger froud power capand i had no broblem. but if you want to do it right I would also run another battery, ore a high out put alternater. sorry for the bad spelling

Still deciding whether or not to purchase 1 or 2 12w7 for my car. I wonder how 1 12w7 sounds?

Also. If I do decide on the woofers, which should I go for. The 12w7 or the diamond 12tdx. Which would you prefer?

You need to decide wat type of system you want to build and how much cash you want to spend. And on the W7 and tdx you will never get a direct answer its all personal prefrence. there both great and coast about the same to.

Andre G GO TO Pro car stereo.com they are charging 720$ and so are couple of other sites.
I live in lI Ny and we have a couple of fleemarkets that sell it for 600$.The best price online is 700$.You can talk your way down to about 650 with shipping.But if you want it for 600 you will have to look around a little but thers a couple of places you can find that will do it.
