JL Audio Help 13w7s?

Question

I have a chance to get 2 13w7's for 600 dollars which everyone knows is an excellent deal.

My problem is that I know I should us 2 jl 1000/1 amps to power these, let alone being really expensive, I don't think I should put that much power in my car being that Id need to upgrade my alternator and such.

Could I run them off just one and have it be fine, or can someone give me better options for this. If i can figure this out I'd go buy them.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1 Jl is plenty enough power,they make some great quality stuff.

Answer 2

Either way your going to need over 1k watts of power. anything under it 1k will be underpowering them.

Answer 3

just look for an amp that will give you 2000 to 3000 wrms @ 3 ohms and wire both speakers in series.  A 1000/1 is in no way, shape, or form, any better than any other quality amplifier, it just costs more.  It doesn't perfectly match the w7s or anything like that, it is simply an amplifier with a regulated power supply.  One sundown audio saz3000d will do the same job, just as well, only will give you about 2000 watts @ 3 ohms as opposed to the 1000 watts that a 1000/1 will give you in the same situation.  Oh and the sundown is about half of the price.
