Amp for JL W7

[swifthieu 10+ year member]

What amp is good to use for a JL Audio W7 10in? I'm looking for a strong and clean bump. I want the subwoofer to be able to pick up low notes or low frequency too, and I want it to bump clean and Hard! Do you guys know what amp is good for that type of performance that I'm looking for?

I want something good like how it would be if you were to amp your speakers, such as McIntosh, Audison, and Zapco amps.

the jl 500/1 is a good amp for it.

that's basically your only choice.. unless your search for a bit. So odd, svc 3 ohm.. what?! ha

JL 500/1 is really the only good option

Hd750/1....

Those are not cheap! but it would power it nicely.

You can find a / for around 350

ya was just adding it for the ballers out there. 500/1 is not the only good option but it is the most common to run on that sub, a 1000/1 could also be used.... very carefully

Any amp that'll push 500+ RMS at 4 ohms will work fine. I've read lots of good things about the new CV class GH amps being nice and clean, but I haven't had the funds to buy one myself yet.

And I've bench tested my JL 500/1. It does have more power for a given ohm load, this one ran up to 680w at 1 ohm, while only giving 498w at 4 ohms. Granted it nowhere near doubles as most manufacturers claim, but you do get more when you drop the load (which correlates with ohms law).

I have also done this woofer with the 1000/1, but it wasn't really needed. The JL HD750.1 is also out there and would be a nice fit for thw 10w7.
