With that amp you'll end up clipping them. Its not good, the W7's were designed to be run with the JL amps. Mainly the 1000/1 amp. Great marketing ploy for business, a bunch of kids go buy there subs then get suckered into buying there amps as well, its ingenious.

In a nutshell, if you dont have the right power going to the sub, you in the long run will damage the voice coils, its important to match your sub and amp together with the proper power. For example, dont put a 600watt RMS sub with a 100watt rms amp...it'll end up hurting the sub in the longrun...

If you like the Audiobahns keep em. How about instead of getting W7s just get Brahmas.
