Kicker L7, 10''vs12'' questions

[aZ_M3 10+ year member]

Yo I was wondering, What would get louder and have more bass, 3 10 kicker L7 at 550rms watts each, 2 12 kicker L7's at 800RMS watts each, or 3 12 kicker L7's at 550rms watts (would that under power the sub since its rated at 750RMS watts?) And what kind of amp(s) should I get for the subs. For amp(s) I got a price range around $600- $650 to spend on the amp alone. I was thinking maybe 3 600/1 JBL amps, one for each sub, but I really don't know. What do you guys recommend?

Well, i think they all will be loud...but my suggestion is the 3 12's if your going for pure loudness. With your money you are spending on an amp, you could probably get one that would put 700 rms to all 3 cleanly.

I forgot you wanted 3 amps...hmm, lemme think for a minute. are you bias against any brands?

Ok... just food for thought..... 1 Audiobahn A2300 HCT puts out 2400 watts rms when bridged to mono. you can wire 3 subs in for a .67 ohm load or a 2.67 ohm load. That would give you options for the 3 subs. If you have 2 subs with that amp, you will have a ton of wiring options. But i know you said you wanted 3 amps...so i am only giving you other ideas
