They usually do about 1700w of clean RMS power according to the birthsheet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so they wont clip around 1500-1700rms but more than that they usually clip

so the birthsheet rates them righ before clipping

The birthsheet rates them at 1% THD, and the threshold for hearing distortion is about 10%

which basically you cant hear and is nothing right

should i go with a bigger amp or stay with that one this is for just daily by the way

It'll work for daily. It won't max out the subs, but should be sufficient.

well i dont want to max them out and blow them or push them to hard i wont be competing just want a loud system

something that pounds pretty good i want to show up this one guy who said his 4 12's sealed will beat my l7's

Just because you have a bigger amp than what the sub is rated for doesn't mean that you will blow your subs. In fact, it's better to have a bigger amp than what you need. If the amp isn't being pushed to full potential all the time it should have a longer life and you will always have room for sub upgrades. It's all about the gain setting.

get the zx1500.1, it'll make those subs pound and it'll be easier on your electrical system.
