Need amp for 10W7 ~800W 3ohm, ~1600 1.5ohm. Any suggestions

[NCSU#1 10+ year member]

Right now I have a 10W7 in a sealed enclosure. I need a new amp which will give it at least 800W at 3ohm. If I upgrade later to two drivers, the same amp should be able to power them with at least 800W each. There MUST be a subsonic filter and I would love to have clip indicator LED's (like the RUB1000-2 has) so I can see when it starts to clip. Thanks.

Edit: Oh yeah, and it should be easy on my electrical system also. Am I asking too much???

Yes, if you want exactly that much power at those ohm loads, you'd need something like a Crossfire VR2000D, which will certainly not be easy on your electrical system. However, something like a Hifonics BX1500D should work in your situation. It'll give around 700 or so @ 3, and anywhere from 1200/1400 @ 1.5. If you really want that much power, you'll have to get a big amp and a more powerful alt, which will set you back a pretty penny....
