Default good amp

Just wondering if anyone knew a good kicker amp to power 1 12" L7. Also what about 2 L7's. J/w I'm now really that good which matching up amps unless it's JL and they have that dummy chart at the bottom. Thx

Does the amp have to be Kicker?
Theres better and more efficient amps out there at the same cost.

Also are the L7s DVC? and what are the ohms per VC.
And what it the RMS rattings per VC?
Which would you rather have? 2 L7s or one? (that matters cause of the amp)

I just wanted an idea of the different amp to choose if I wanted to go either route. Don't really care amp brand as long as it isn't ****. You can get them in 2 or 4 DVC I'd go with 4 I'm sure. Site says Max Rec Amp Power (Watts peak/rms) 1500/750. Not sure of the RMS per vc. Really leaning towards one sub though. Don't wanna go overkill just want a nice hitting sub.

Im running a Kenwood 9103d mono amp with my Kicker L7 10". It sounds great and has been a very good amp. No over heating or anything. (its all for sale btw)

Get a single L7 thats DVC 4 ohms.
Hook that bitch up to the Alpine MRP-M850, and you will have one hell of a sub.
DO NOT THINK YOU CAN GET TWO OF THSES SUBS AND HOOK IT UP TO THIS AMP, you will be underpowering them and kill the amp over time.

PM me for a place that you can get this stuff for an awesome price. I have ordered from them many times.

If you want two L7s, make sure that you get the DVC 2 ohms.
Wire both subs togather to make a 2 ohm total load and hook that up to the Kicker ZX1500.1.
That will give you about 750 watts per sub.
