Bronze Member Username: RoyalewitcheeseDenver, Colorado Post Number: 12 Registered: Sep-11 | just got a JL Audio W7 to go in my Dodge Charger. The dude at the store said it handles 750 watts rms, which I already know. He then of course suggested that I buy their JL audio 750 watt amp for about 500 bucks, to which I told him to eat a dick. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Everyone on here has helped me a lot thus far in my quest to create my perfect system and I really appreciate it. |

When you think about which and how many speakers you will be upgrading I could advice an amp for those. |

If you're feeling especially cheap though, the Hifonics Brutus might do the trick too, and it's cheaper.. just sayin' |

Silver Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 556 Registered: May-09 | The 750/1 for $500 is actually a fair price to pay. But the price difference between the one I suggested and the JL can be put into better use. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, South Carolina Post Number: 14551 Registered: Dec-03 | the thing with that JL amp is that if you add a second sub, you're splitting the power between the two, so you'd in effect, be getting the same power to two subs combined, as you were to one sub, so only gaining +3dB. With the AQ amp, you'd get the full power to each sub, doubling the total combined power. This is why I dislike the JL slash series regulated output stage. |
