[QUOTE="ksin291, post: 761834, member: 554210"] The w7 is an upgrade over the Type R's for sure but you definatley don't have the right amp to power it well. Your two options for wiring it are .75 if you wire the vc's in parallel or 3 ohms if wiring them in series. At 3 ohm that amp supposedly puts out 750 watts @ 14 volts but from what I read that is not the case. I guess the w7 could get loud off of 600ish watts in a ported enclosure but you really wouldn't be taking advantage of what the sub can do. If you're serious about getting a w7 I would look at a different amp. A tantrum 1200.1 is a good option for one and they can be had for a pretty reasonable price ($300 ish). You're other options are to look for something that is dvc 2 ohm. XXX or Brahma come to mind, I lean towards the Brahma myself. You could also wait a liitle while and pick up the new tumult which replaces the Brahma. [/QUOTE]
