The X811d should work decently well with it.. Sub should be getting a little above 900 watts from it.. W7s are dual 3 ohm coils right? If so wire it to 1.5ohms.. The X811d puts out a little above 900 at 2 ohms and a little over 1000 at 1 ohm, so it should be getting around 950 watts.. The RMS on that sub is 1000, however I believe it can take a little more..

For the price of the amp its hard to beat!

i think the w7 is a single 3 ohm coil. so if that amp is 900 watts at 2 ohms that leaves you with less than 900 watts. so it will work, but a little more power would be better.

yeah its single a single 3 ohm coil. i don't think it would be a problem to power the sub. the only one with a dual voice coil is the 13
