His priorities are straight, amp is one of the least determining factors in an install... and 350$ is more than enough to get a GOOD amp that will put out the power he needs.

Actually its the guys who spend $700 on an amp and 350 for speakers that have their priorities backwards. The best amp in the world wont make crappy speakers sound good.

For example, he could buy a used PG Tantrum 1200.1 (approx 1500 watts) for less than 350. Good amp in my book, plenty for that sub (hmmm if the impedances match... too lazy too look, but point still stands). Just because he wants a $700 sub doesn't mean he has to go out and buy an overpriced JL 1000/1 too.

alrighty, can you guys recommend a good ~1000w amp for a 13.5" W7 (DVC 1.5ohms)?

so far, ive heard good things (any comments?) about the:

JL 1000/1

PG Tantrum 1200.1

PG Ti 1200.1

Kicker KX 1200.1

MTX Thunder TA81001

i also have a similar question. which combo would you guys pick for SQL (sealed box)? please do not recommend other subs/amps, pick only from these choices:
JL 500/1 JL 10" W7

JL 500/1 JL 13" w6v2

JL 500/1 JL 12" w6v2

does it have to be a sealed box, b/c if you can get a 13w6v2 sealed, you should be able to get a 10w7 ported - which IS what I recommend out of the subs you've listed.
