I say stay with JL, They are all nice amps though, Its really up to you, do you plan on changing the sub later? Keep that in mind also.

the w7 should be fine with any...theyre all good amps...cept i wouldnt get orion just cuase i dont like it cuz i had horrible expieriences with them. get all JL to match lol

From that list..........the Rockford.

Reason:

It is a Power series and they are very under rated and run cool and thus you will get louder music and can turn the gains down some if you want and run that amp for a long time.lol

I'd get the least expensive given they all will sound roughly the same and last forever if you don't run the piss out of them.

ok guys, in terms of SQ, which amp would sound the best?

 

[pimpedout97x]

prally the JL would have the best SQ...i think? lol

x2 on what vetkilr said...those amps are underrated, and if u plan on upgrading your sub down the road sometime, u would have that extra power...

Also, its always better to have an overpowered amp vs an underpowered one. Its easier for a say 2kW amp to run at 1kW then it is for a 1kW amp to run at 1kW.

Running at the same power level, I doubt you'd tell a difference between all three.

 

[bikejunkie223 10+ year member]

like I said- buy the cheapest one- they are all the same basically
