This is quite an open ended question. There are many options!! Not knowing witch direction you are going with your system, I say get two ZX750.1 amps. You can run one for each sub. They are class D amps, this means pure digital and low heat. Each one puts out 750W@ 2ohm. Basically each one will give you pure clean power to each L7. But you will have no room to grow with this setup. The L7 is 750W RMS witch this amp will provide clean. Hope this helps a little!!

Tuff is right! I was under the understanding the amps would see 2ohm. After pulling the spec up for the L7, the amp will see 4ohm. Therefore the ZX1500.1 for each sub would be best. The ZX1500.1 will push 750W at 4ohm with 14.4volts.

No... They will be at a 2 ohm load.

1 Dual 2's = 4 or 1
1 Dual 4's = 8 or 2
1 Sing 2's = 2
1 Sing 4's = 4
2 Dual 2's = 8, 2 or .5
2 Dual 4's = 16, 4, or 1
2 Sing 2's = 4 or 1
2 Sing 4's = 8 or 2

I think we are saying the same thing. Both of us are guessing how hes going to wire this and how many amps he will be using.

FX4; you need to give us more information as to what you have in mind.
1. witch L7 D4 or D2?
2. How many amps do you want to use?
3. How do you plan to wire each sub (Parallel or Series) and how do plan to wire the subs to a amp(Each or together).
