I think the L7 is rated for 750WRMS. I wouldn't go over that amount if that is the case. Kicker has very good amplifiers too by the way. Better than RF.

What that knob does is NOT give more power, but it gives only a very distorted bass boost which only causes the sub to vibrate abnormally...so watch out! But if this is for short term then you probably don't have to worry about it because the wire situation only happens after a couply of months of keeping the bass boost on max!

Just be careful what you buy there.. they sell a lot of total crap products, like legacy, pyramid, boss, rockwood, and so forth. Come to think of it, CDT is one of the few really good things they do sell.
