Look into sundown woofers. They are reasonably priced and are very popular with car audio community. If you can spend go with the H0112 w6v3 by JL audio. I just bought it in a 10" and if is a thing of quality and beauty !

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'm assuming you mean 1000rms for the amp... You can either do one of two things. Find a way to make sure the rms of the amp does not go over the rms of the sub. In this case, if your rms was too high on your amp, it's the reason your sub blew. Or second, buy yourself a bad ass sub. Something to match with the rms of your amp. The L7 can't keep up with your amp.

Chris i have the same woofer. I have a planet audio 5000 watt class d on each one of mine.I think you have the amp turned up to high

Their amps are very overrated on power ( like their subs). So id say you should go with their 6000watt amp. It's not gonna put out anything close to 6000watts though. Just letting you know lol.

I'm running 2 kenwood excelon subs rated at 300 each. The jx 1000 has more power than they can handle but they sound great. It's better to have to much power than not enough. I think your subs would be a good match up for this amp

1000 watts to 1500 watts would do nicely but get a good clean amp you wont be sorry for paying a little more for a good brand i have 3 of these on one jbl it pushes them nicely.

Hello.. I recommend this sub for an amp with les than 500 w rms .. I blew 2 of these 1 at a time at 1 ohm with a BD punch 500.1 competition amp.. rated at 500 w rms.. Amazon returned the first sub thinking maybe it was defective. When the second sub blew I through in the towel. Now using a jl w 7 12...

I smaller amp one with about 500-700 watts rms. this sub I believe can not handle the told watts.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

you need a 2 ohm Dual voice coil to make 1 ohm or 4 ohm connection. Do no under power this sub. I've been blasting 3000w+ for almost 2 years and it loves it. I bought a 2000w fosgate amp and the amp wasn't enough. protection mode way too early. I went back to my old 3500w mono refurbed amp and no issues again. Shouldn't have fixed what wasnt broken. Best sub around for the $$$.. I promise.

I would say no, this is pretty weak. I have one 15 or 17 inch sub and this doesnt compare to the previous one that I blew out. I'm not very knowlegable on other amps but because I have this one, I would say try to inquire about another one. lol

Fred it all depends on how much money you want to spend. You could buy a punch 1000bd or step to the power series t 1000bdcp I got a t 1000 and love it I'm pushing somewhere around 1500-1600 watts rms at 1 ohm the only thing is the lower the ohms ( impedance) the lower efficiency average is going to be which means how clean your bass is going to be. My next amp is going to be a t2500 on these subs the only thing is that I'm going to have to rewire these subs from 1 ohm to 4 ohms so I don't blow them up on the bass heavy song I play thru that amp to the subs.

Anything can be blown, judging on te name brand I your amp you should have enough for a couple of these, for best sound run them separate on the amplifier at 4 ohms

I'm running a kicker 750 watt amp 1 channel and I have my amp tuned down a little 1000 watt would be perfect just tune accordingly

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

You will need a 1600w amp at minimum. The sub does not have an amp built in.

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

Keep in mind that you can't hear an amp. You should check your decibel output and match it up with the decibel output of your sub! This sub does sound very good and does have excellent response!
