Amp for (2) 10w7's

[DHoward 10+ year member]

I scoured the search on here and couldn't really find a decent answer for this.

I just got two 10w7's (no I didn't pay an assload for them lol) and was wondering what amp would be best to run these?

From what I've heard these are the following opinions:

JL 1000.1 (too much money for me)

PG Tantram

PG 1200.1

Any other good ones? Thinking a Sealed box for the subs as well...

Thanks!

what ohm are they?

 

[DHoward 10+ year member]

Single 3 ohm.. two of them would be running 1.5 ohms...

If your looking to do it on a budget i'd say look at the cadence txa1000, a pair would run you around 400. But you'lll need to upgrade your electrical if you haven't already. If you really wanna bring them to life I'd save for a lil and get a pair of 1000/1's. I've got one with a 2 year warranty for 525 shipped if youre interested.

yeah I don't wanna push them each on a 1000.1 as it is a lil too much power for the 10's.. maybe if they were 12's... Thinking around 750 rms per sub.

w7s are wiked good subs, but they gottta have power, lots of power, the more power the better, with 2 x 10w7 id say use minimum 1500 wrms (real watts) anything less and it like driving a nascar with a camry motor in it.

Yeah thats what I'm looking for 60ndown... any recommendations?

There are so many amps that could produce 1500 and up rms. It just depends on your budget.

Find an amp that does 2k-2.5k into 1 ohm. That should get you the power that you want with the 1.5 ohm nominal load.

I still think a pair of the cadence txa1000's wouldbe good for them if your on a tight budget. If you have a somewhat flexible budget i'd look into the rockford t20001bd. Both would be suitable for how much power you're lookingfor.
