Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 320 Registered: May-04 | Kicker save a little more and get a JL 1000/1. It is set up to work with the W7 better then any other amp your going to find. You can get one here for $729.00 plus shipping. www.acaraudio.com Good Luck |

JL is the best Unregistered guest | I wouldn't get a kicker for that sub. The W7s are made to run with JL amps. You can mix match if you want but I would stay with the JL 1000/1 like JayJ said. Cause where else are you going to find an amp thats puts out 1000+ RMS watts @ 3ohms |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Hfl, Ny Usa Post Number: 822 Registered: Dec-03 | that sub runs at 1.5 ohms right? dual 3? you would get about 900w rms at 1.5 ohms with the kicker 1200.1 i would reccomend a jbl bp1200.1 and buying a seperate equalizer/crossover for subsonic filter |

Bronze Member Username: LoudnobnoxiousPost Number: 41 Registered: Jul-04 | jeez bacon, guess you really dont have much experience or seen a kx1200.1 birth sheet. the kx1200.1 generally benches around 1400-1450w rms, not a flat 1200, of course. i'm not going to do the math but i'd say once you equate that into 1.5 ohms it's going to be more than 900. as i stated before, get the kx1200.1 and save the money. anyone that acts like W7's only run using JL amps is either a fanboy or a dumbazz. |

Silver Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 789 Registered: May-04 | A JL 1000/1 typically benches in the 1300-1400W range itself, sometimes more than that. The 13W7 is dual 1.5 ohms, which can only be wired to 3 ohms to that Kicker amp, or pretty much any amp with that matter. With a 3 ohm load, the Kicker would only give around 450W into the sub, and will be underpowering it by a large amount. |
