New member Username: Demon_prideCrowder, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Oct-05 | I have found a cheap 13W7 and dont want to have to buy a jl 1000/1. Can anyone recommend a cheaper amp that will work with the 1.5 ohm coils? |

I figure if I'm running a W7 though, I might as well go big or go home... I think 1200 may be just a little much for a single cab truck heh... |

Post Number: 1266 Registered: Jul-05 | A guy here posted last wk or wk b4 that he's using that 1200.1 on his 13w7 & he said it slams - so i'd also pick that cause even its 1200wrms your amp will be running cool due to headroom . google that amp's model no. for the lowest price online |

Shouldn't be a problem... Should it? I had thought of placing it where the center console should be, facing towards the windshield and slanted up. |

It lists 1200 watts as "Yellow" on JL's specs, which is pretty much optimal. it dosnt go red until 1500 RMs. Personally - I actually like the sound of the PG Xenon 1200.1 over the JL 1000.1, and also, the xenon is stable at 1-4 ohms, unlike JL, which is 1.5-4 ohms. The xenon also seemed louder, without a noticeable difference in SQ. |

Silver Member Username: SpyderEglin AFB, Florida USA Post Number: 146 Registered: Jun-05 | only way to run a 13w7 is with the Voice Coils seriesed as they are duel 1.5 ohm coils. what you could do is look on Ebay for a MTX 1501D! i just hooked it up to a set of 12w7's and it Beat hard! and you should be able to find it for a decent price!! |
