Kickers are really nice if you give them a big enough ported box.

Kicker amps are pretty reasonably priced, hifonics are a decent cheap amp as well.

i have an alpine pdx 600.1 powering a single L7 in my boat. with the right box the setup sounds good. if i was to redo the system i'd go with alpine pdx 1000.1.

the alpine pdx line of amps are real small, digital, low heat profile, and supple plenty of clean power.

The L7 sounds great but if you get it get a probox superbass box itll make it hit alot harder. Amp wise rockford fosgate are the best in my opinion they last and make any sub hit!! also the hypnotic zen series 15" sub hits insane nt my buddys dually with just a 1000 watt fosgate amp.

Got the RF Power t500.1 and beat the hell out of it.
As for the sub im a little weary of the square design looks like it would fail.

for the money, the L7 is one hell of a sub.

short of attaching some POS amp to the sub, i'd be floored if you blew it!
