New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I can get 12w7's for $400 each on ebay. Seems decent enough. But i need a good quality amp to power them, i'm not sure if i should go with 2x 750.1 amps or one 1500.2 amp. the problem is that i can't find any good ones on ebay... at all... any ideas? maybe i should run both w7's on an alpine pdx 1.1000 and run them 250watt over recommended rms? or is that stupid? |

New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 3 Registered: Jan-07 | awesome thanks guys... here's the thing though, i want someone high quality power what i've now decided will be idmax 12's... i wanted to do an alpine pdx 1.1000 on each but that's way too expensive, so what do you guys recommend for a 2000watt amp i can use to to power each one but with just one amp! thoughts? thanks again guys. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3030 Registered: Feb-06 | 2000wrms is going to be pricey. what's your budget? if on a tight budget look into hifonics, but since your going with really nice subs try to save and get better amps. |

New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 5 Registered: Jan-07 | ya i don't want to skimp on amps if i'm going with idmax's the jl 1000/1 is even more expensive than the alpine pdx 1.1000!! |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3032 Registered: Feb-06 | cause it's jl. overpriced but very well built amp. again what's yout budget? the idmax is one of the subs i have in mind myself for my next setup and if i go that route i'll power each off a arc audio kar 1000. just a suggestion. |

New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 6 Registered: Jan-07 | i think i've decided to go with 2x Kicker ZX1000.1 @ $325 on ebay are these good enough in your guys's opinions? they're class D, kicker brand... |

New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 7 Registered: Jan-07 | that's 325 each |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3034 Registered: Feb-06 | kicker makes great amps, i say go for it. just make sure you trust the seller, check his feedbacks and score. and just don't buy from indoaudio, bad seller. |

New member Username: NitrofourPost Number: 8 Registered: Jan-07 | thanks again ctmike, i really appreciate your help. will i see a difference between one of the kicker zx and one of the alpine pdx 1.1000... or am i paying for brand? |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 3036 Registered: Feb-06 | kicker imo makes a better amp. haven't used the alpine but have heard nothing bad about it. you'll probably see more power with the kicker though, probably around 1200wrms from each. kicker likes to underrate thier amps. |
