What amp would be better to push my 13.5w7. It will eb wired to .75 and with imp rise i fiqured the KX wouldent have a problem. is the xenon worht it? and how does the orion compare to the kicker? i saw orions going used for 200 bucks. kickers going for like 300 and xenons are like 350+. Wahts my best bet?

 
Ide wire the w7 to 1.5 ohms, and run it with the xenon. I am biased, but the xenon can run anywhere from 1-4 ohms with ease, which is nice for the future if you decide to switch out anything. Both are quality amps though, and you shouldnt be disappointed with either one.

 
Okay so wire it at 3 ohms then. Im not only implying that the xenon will work good in the future, because ofcourse it would work fine now, but the fact of it is that you will get full power out of this amp at any load from 1-4 ohms, unlike most other amps. This will help you out now, and in the future, which is why I think its a better choice then the kicker, but both are quality amps.

the kicker wouldent have a problem doing .75 ohms+ impedence rise would it?? it wont go into protection mode or anything will it.

 
A one track mind? Impedence will rise as well as reduce. So there's a 99% chance that it'll go into protect mode when pushed hard. Lets look at the dampening factor as well. A higher ohm load will let an amp work easier even for the XENON, which does its rated power from 1-4 ohms. It will pull more out of your system (electrical) at 1 ohm, than it will at 4, as most amps will. Get the XENON, run at 3 ohms and be happy.
