Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 486 Registered: Feb-06 | if you look on the jl site 500wrms is the 12w7 minimum on the power chart, optimum is like 750-800wrms it looks like. |

Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2081 Registered: Feb-05 | it will power it, but it will be underpowering. theres plenty of people who have that setup, but personally i'd go with a 1000/1. |

Bronze Member Username: RmpagejrPost Number: 23 Registered: May-06 | what amp besides the 100/1 would you recommend for a much cheaper price? |
|
Bronze Member Username: RmpagejrPost Number: 24 Registered: May-06 | mean 1000/1, and is 800 shipped a good price for a new 12w7 500/1 and an amp kit? |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1813 Registered: Jun-05 | you really do have to go with a jl slash series amp meaning a 1000/1 or 500/1 because a w7 runs at 3 ohms and its tough to find a amp that puts out 1000 at 3 ohms i believe pg has one |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 487 Registered: Feb-06 | the pg xenon is 1200w 1-4ohm, and the new alpine pdx is 1000w 1-4 also, and i think jbl makes a few amps that'll push it. |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 488 Registered: Feb-06 | this jbl should work, don't know if this is a good price for it though http://cgi.ebay.com/JBL-BPx1100-1-MONO-SUBWOOFER-AMP-SUB-BASS-AMPLIFIER-NEW_W0QQ itemZ9722730100QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Silver Member Username: JkidderSpring hill, Florida Usa Post Number: 137 Registered: Nov-05 | that jbl amp is amazing.. it actually gets more power at 4 ohms than at 1.. plus all those power figures are at 12 volts.. very impressive |
|
Bronze Member Username: RmpagejrPost Number: 27 Registered: May-06 | Also is 800 shipped a good price for 1 new 12w7, a 500/1, and an amp kit? |

Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 726 Registered: Aug-05 | The Jl amp put out 1000 regardless of the load.... or find a amp that puts out like 1200-1500@ 2ohms or something that would be arround 1000 @ 3ohms |
|
Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 2083 Registered: Feb-05 | any amp rated for 1000 watts at 2 ohms or 1500 watts at 1 ohm should give you enough power at 3 ohms for the W7 the PG Xenon 1200.1 would be a really nice choice. they are getting scarce though. |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 2902 Registered: Sep-04 | just a quick fact. if its a new JBL amp, check to see if crown made it. if so, its great. if not, keep looking lol. the one in the link above is indeed made by crown though. anyone know why pg made so few of the xenon? that was the only thing they had goin for them IMO lol. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3679 Registered: Feb-05 | The JL 500/1 is a great choice for the 12w7 for anyone that is not sure. I whould recommend putting the JL 500/1 on the 12w7 especially in a Ported box or JL HO BOX. |

Silver Member Username: DelsolePost Number: 368 Registered: Feb-05 | i know jl amps are a little underrated but like the person above said you would still be under powering it a bit |
