What amp to get

What amp would you audio gurus pair with a kicker l7 12" (750watt rms)?

Im looking for quality more than anything.

Any help is appreciated

Yup,wire it at 2 ohms and you'll get almost 900 watts from this amp.Mine is rated at 906 at 2 ohms.

Phienox Gold makes a decent amp...for a little less I would go with either Kicker (ie, ZX1000.1) or one of JL's amp.

jl 500/1 or the jl 1000/1

if you want a good quality for a amp you should look at paying about a dollar per watt at rms retail so if you see a amp rated 750 watts rms it should be about 750 dollars. That is a good gage for it. Good luck

Paying a $1 a watt is a little over board. I paid $200 for JBL 600.1 (I believe the retail for it was $3-400) over 7 years later and it still hasn't hiccuped.
