[QUOTE="eggster, post: 7127120, member: 582284"] Question, if I wanted to run a pair of these, with a pair of JLs 12W7s (1 per sub bridged) would a rewound alt and a batcap be enough to supply current/amperage for 25 HZ test tones? What about music all day? I'm not an SPL guy, but I like being able drop jaws with the lows from time to time.. I am going to run an all active 4 way setup, 3 way front stage and 2, maybe 3 12W7s.. I have a pair now, found a third to add to the mix, may scoop it up.. I know I'm better off finding a serious class d amp to power the subs, but something about A/B power has me thinking twice about selling these.. They sound great on subs but for mids and highs they are tough to beat... Plus I wanted to run all PPI ART which is why I held on to these (had 8 PPI Arts at one point, 4) A600.2s, 4) A404.2s, sold them all before I came across these..) So far the most powerful amps I have owned were the Fosgate T30001BD and a pair of Mmats D3500.5s.. The Mmats were efficient, but the odd impedence of the JLs made them come up short.. The pair of 12W7s with the Fosgate was crazy, the pair of 15" L7s powered by the pair of Mmats D3500s (dual 2 ohm L7s in an 8 CF box tuned to 32HZ, 1 matts per sub) was crazy too..
