how far can you push a w7?

hey guys.... i just bought a w7 for my car and i want to figure out what amp i should get and how much i can push it. i really want to get a infinity 1211a (1400w rms at 2 ohm) for this sub (which is 3ohm) because it will give me lots of power incase i want to upgrade to a different sub later. what is the max you can push the w7? i know the rms is 750 but for example the mojo can do well over its rms.

oh and the 1211a does 1000 watts rms at 4 ohms and 1400w at 2 ohms... what would it do at 3 ohms??..1200? or would it even work? if so... what is a good amp for around 300-350

if its the 12 or 13W7 then you are fine otherwise id look at a different amp (if you have 8 or 10W7) the amp should do around 1100-1200 @ 3ohm and yes it will be completely fine

It's not the subs that clip //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

W7's can take well over their RMS.I've seen 13w7's take 2,000rms each daily with no real stress.

i wouldnt send it no more than 1500w daily.

It's enclosure dependent.

I know this is off topic, but how far can you push the type-R? mine are at 720 rms each right now.. im wondering just how much they can take daily?

ROFL, well I've seen it all.The day type-R gets mentioned in a W7 thread.

*waits for tcab guys to say it can take 2500rms daily*
