Amp for W7's
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 494 Registered: Jan-07 | I am getting 2 13" W7's and i need an amp for them. They are 1.5 ohm and im gonna give them a lil more power than the recommended 1000w's. I was looking at a few amps to get. Do yall have any suggestions? im looking for something that will put out about 2500-3000@1.5 Ohms so each sub would have about 1250-1500watts |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1200 Registered: Sep-06 | i think what you should do is get two Kicker KX2500's. your subs would be recieving a 3 ohm load since each coil is 1.5 ohms and that kicker will give you a good 1500 or so (prolly more) watts at 3 ohms. however IMO i think if you dish out that kind of money i would get better woofers. because your essentially wasting power since W7's cant take more than 1300 watts (give or take). if it were me, id get two KX2500's and switch too 2 15" Fi Q's with the increased power option |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1528 Registered: Oct-04 | whats the difference between running one kicker at 1.5 ohms versus running two at 3 ohm? powerwise there is no difference. why get two when one will do the trick? |
|
Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1209 Registered: Sep-06 | because it wont work. each sub is DVC 1.5 ohms. your gonna get a 3 ohm load. and at 3 ohms that amp cant properly power BOTH W7's. so you need two |

Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 496 Registered: Jan-07 | yea i was thinking about getting 2 Fi BL's but i thought that the W7's would be a lil better for SQL. so you think the Fi BL's or Fi Q's would be a better choice? |

Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 497 Registered: Jan-07 | oh so one 2500 would be definately work? |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13013 Registered: Oct-05 | thats what i would use. unless you want to play safer then get the orion 2500d. the orion is 1ohm stable and at 1.5ohms you would still see some good power. |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1212 Registered: Sep-06 | honestly, ive heard a couple W7 setups and they do sound niice. but there is no way in heLL i wouldnt pay over 300 dollars for those drivers. if your somewhat budget consius, go with a Q. and Q's will get a lil louder and take more power |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1216 Registered: Sep-06 | on those subs^^ yeah. but i think youd be better off getting two RD audio elite SPL's so logan isnt lonely  |
|
Silver Member Username: ReppinqcCharlotte, NC USA Post Number: 498 Registered: Jan-07 | i dont want any rd elites...i was either gonna go with the 13" dub7's or two 15" Fi's |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13015 Registered: Oct-05 | if you got the money to get the w7's then go for it. you won't be disappointed. they sound good and get really loud. its just too pricey for me. |
