[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 161239, member: 545461"] *sigh* Ok, the whole thing about W7s needing a lot of power is overblown. I'm running a JBL BP300.1 to my 12W7, and it is fine. If you want crazy loud SPL, then it can take a lot more power, but if you just want SQ, you don't need a lot of power at all. The 12W7 can take 2000W without breaking a sweat (though it will void your warranty), and could probably handle double that for a few competition burps. With 300W, I'm pushing out better than 130db (measured by a somewhat inaccurate Radio Shack meter). If you want SQ, you won't even be approaching that level. If you want SPL, give it 10x the power and your SPL numbers will shoot through the roof. [/QUOTE]
