They're rated upto 750w RMS. I would think the 1200D would give them plenty of power. It should be under-rated by a fair amount.

Are you sure you want those square Kicker subs? Just about everything I've read says they are good for pure SPL, but sound really bad. I went with Kicker amps and was considering these subs until I started reading the reviews and recommendations on these forums.

If 1 L7 needs 750wrms , means 2 will need 1500wrms total !

Why the heck would any1 underpower both subs with 1200 then ?

If u intend to use 1 orion 1200 model on each sub (which will be a 2ohm load/sub) then each amp would give 725wrms @ 2ohms ,SO then u'll have to buy 2amps then which will co$t more than getting a single 1500wrms amp + use more alt current .

U need 1 of these : http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/thunder81001.cfm

He asked if it was good enough to make them hit.

You have to remember those 1200Ds are supposed to be under-rated. It's not like buying a 1200w amp from friggin' Hifonics. Take my Kicker KX1200.1 for example. Birth sheet shows 1490w RMS.
