hey what kind of amp should i get for these subwoofers?

I have a 1000 watt Alpine amp that I have bridged into the box and it sounds really good with this bandpass.

Literally any mono amp will do. If it's going to be paired up with this, then the cheaper, the better. I had mine hooked up to a really nice Alpine, it didn't help any.

I went with boss armor series 2,000 watt amp. Basically calc any amp real RMS and u need at least 550watts rms for boom boom sound. My amp and sub is in 99 ford wind star van and it kicks hard. Don't let people tell you that boss amps suck because they don't.

Boss Audio R1100M Mosfet Monoblock Power Amplifier, It's cheap and works well with those subs.

I have a boss audio 1100 watt riot monoblock and it works good. if you got the money get a bigger amp but i would recomend the boss audio

any kind of speakers actually, but make sure the speakers can take in the amount of watts they advertise. if you have 2 subs, im guessing 4 ohm subs, you possibly could have wired them in parallel giving you a one ohm load therefore all 1600 watts went into those speakers ultimately blowing them out. heres what you should do, if your blowing up subs constantly get two 4 ohm subs and wire them in parallel each so they receive a 2 ohm load, therefore roughly 1200 watts will be going into the subs, about 600 watts each sub this amount of power would be good for some 15 inch subs rated at 500 watts rms. if you have smaller speaker like 12s, 4 ohm, you can wire them at 2 ohms but if your scared of blowing them out then wiring in series is always an option. heres what I recommend, get 2 15s kicker CVR they are the greatest beginner subs out there. if you already have this amp then your golden, wire those speakers up at 2 ohms with this amp, adjust your gains until you get your desired sound with no distortion whatsoever and you'll be good.

They are 1500rms. Between 750 and 850 is optimal for these. I have a 3200.1bd Zeus pushing 2 of these 12's. It's turned way down of course. I Listen at loud volumes all the time and I haven't had any issues. You were probably pushing it to hard. Try turning the amp down. If I didn't purchase these I would have chosen a different sub. If money isn't a object try sundown audio D2's. If you want to stick with L7's then just turn your amp down so because anything over its peak watts is just producing heat which will blow your subs every time! Hope this helped

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

you can use any standard high quality speakers they will sound better if they are a matched set. the subwoofer output is unpowered so it needs to be a powered sub.

That depends on the amp you have, it wouldn't be smart to connect two different subwoofers to the same amp, maybe get two amps, one for each sub, just make sure the wiring is done correctly for the best sound and a long lasting system

if ur going to go with that then get 2 2000 watt amp's cuz u won't have enough to get the max useage of ur speaker's...have fun...

No this is subs. You're going to need new back speakers. Get some quality 6x9s for those and get a good watt amp at least 1400 for these bad boys

A decent match would be any decent amp that is around 1100w if youre getting two subs then get a 2000w amp. I bought two of these and a Pyle 2000w 2 channel amp and it sounds excellent for the price of it all! You should try to avoid getting an amp that is more powerful than your sub's as it is easier to blow them but you can always tune an amp down

Greg think but it's not the amp it's the box that really makes or break these speakers for me. I have been doing a few different. I put them in a car sub box and they sounded ok with a 300 watt amp but I think a 600 watt amp would be ok as well bit if I had a 600 watt amp I would let you know for sure what they sounded like. They are good speakers for the price I just know yet if I would recommend them to any one. I put subs and amps in people's car as a side job and I still haven't even told anyone I have them yet because I'm not satisfied yet.

Nope. I have a hifonics 1000rms and its jist perfect. So beat bet, get one good amp or 2 decent ones for those subs. But i omly have one and people hear me a few blocks out.

Any amp under 2000 watts will work great. I have a 250 tma pushing my two and they sound awsome. Either 2 or 4 ohm will work just depends on what u like be careful.

Basically any amp that has 100 more watts than the subwoofer, but I would recommend the 600 watt kicker amp because I have one and it's pretty powerful

Depends on what you are using them for. If you are just listening to music on a 2 channel system, no subwoofer needed unless you just prefer a more robust base. If you are using in some sort of home theater set up, then I would definately recommend a subwoofer.

when i got these subs, i used the BOSS 3000w mono amp, and they was slammin... the bass is real deep and it can hold low notes with this amp.. also you can run the audiobahn 3-5000w series as well

You'll be under powering the sub almost 1000 watts. Cause the amp puts out 1800 watts @4ohms and 2500@ 2 ohms. So if u don't already have a sub, try a 2 ohm one it should work better.

any amplifier producing 50-100 watts should be plenty i use 160 watts per channel but dont use full power on these sweet little speakers
