It's a 1200W woofer? That's what I read for the newer models...

I haven't taken it out of the box to read what it says. It is the semi metallic silver color l7 15 everyone has been telling me 750rms

Have the model number of your boston amp?

The cerwin vega should move it and move it just fine. It's about 1000w of power and that should be plenty with the right sub/box. We just put a 12" sub on 1000w into a TC and it slams. If your sub has trouble with that, something else is the problem.

I don't have the model number on hand. That was one I tried off Craigslist and when it didn't perform I didn't buy it.

ive bought and sold a couple usually around 60-80 bucks for a 1000-1500w ap/apsm.. ive ran em.. dont like too... but they get the job done if all else fails... i try to go hifonics if on a budget though... not much better but better... lol

I too, have ran the apsm's, the 1000 watt one and the 2000 watt, they worked for what I needed at the time. Also ran a hifonics as well. I agree with you on the hifonics being the better 'budget' amp. Op, if you are patient, and do a lil research, may even have to bump up your budget a tad, you should be able to find what will work.for you, good luck, dude.

That jbl amp suggested would be a fine choice, put the 500 watt version in the wife trailblazer on one of my re se10d4's, and it does pretty well, makes its power at 2ohms.

Thanks man. Any EXP with either the clarion or ppi?

No. But as I said before, I do have exp with jbl ez amps.

JBL makes nice stuff, have owned their amps as well. That JBL 1000EZ should be virtually identical in power output to the Cerwin Vega. I think with sonic there's like a 30 day money back guarantee. Worst case scenario, just send it back I guess.

ppi is above hifonics and audiopipe on quality IMO... clarion ive only ran 4 ch's and hu's... ANOTHER FAV. budget amp is MB Quartz DISCUS.... ppi stay away from sedona series... so power hungry...

I may just wait an ext4a week and try that jbl. That's seams to be a good amp. Can't find anybody saying anything bad about it anyway.

I wouldn't, it would make less power at 2 ohms than the CV or the JBL. I'd just pull the trigger on the CV, especially if you can get it for like 170 or so.

Just a quick, silly question did the amps you test have crossover sections? May be worth looking at and double checking they aren't causing issues by being set wrong before you drop money. Doubt that they would be the problem but ya never know. A quick look is free.
