good SQ amp for a 12W7

[blueski 10+ year member]

I personally would go with the 1000/1. My friend just got his 1000/1 for his 12W7 and the sub never distorted or anything. We kept turning up the volume higher and higher and peaked out at 35 volume for the alpine don't know which model. The sub was still pounding. If the volume level coulda went higher I'm sure the sub woulda continued to hit. So the 1000/1 is your best amp IMO. Also the 1000/1 can go 1.5-4 ohm's stable.

how does it sound??

there's nothing wrong wtih the 12w7...it plays rather nicely.

i would use a jl 1000/1 or the jbl bpx 1000.1

You could get a PG Tantrum, or Xenon.

The Xenon being the easier of the two to find.

most subs can be "sq subs" if put in the right enclosure, and with the right tuning and placement.

nothing wrong with a W7 for SQ, well except the price.

x159845869478415947819. OP: I would have to rec. the JL amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif (Check sig.) Doesn't really matter IMO, You need enough power for your driver. PS: everyone that says I only rec. CMass, take notice.

Really expensive.

Here are some prices from woofersetc.com

JL 1000/1: $670

Alpine PDX 1.1000: $550

PG Xenon 1200.1: $450

All three do about the same thing (Provide the same power at all impedences), but the JL costs a significant amount more than the others. The other two can be had cheaper than that too. The Alpines generally go for $400-$450 new, and the Xenon can be had for $300-$400 easy. Haven't seen too many goo deals on the JLs.
