That Phoenix gold amp is ok...it looks to me as Rockford took over that company or something. they use the same model numbers as Rockford. I was gonna get that exact amp. They r ghey though, on the site it won't even tell u the RMS..I'd get the PPI or autotek for some serious power espcially with 3 L7's..also the Tantrum is a new line. I heard the that amp playing a new 12" W7. SOunded pretty good...IMO..

Rockford hasn't bought Phoenix Gold.... If you're basing that just due to the similarity in model numbers you are a fool...

Look for at least 300-400W to those subs. If you can afford more go for it. The PG amp is very good, some other goods ones are the PPI, Orion, DEI 1100D, DEI Viper 2500D, Memphis ST16-1000D, MTX Class D's etc...

I didn't know it mattered what type u got, as long as it had enough wattage to run your subs correctly and it had atleast 2 channels for the subs if u were powering only two subs....was i wrong? what else do u need wit a sub, unless u are trying to power more than your subs?

2 subs can also be powered by mono amplifliers or 2 channel amps bridged into mono. It's all about matching the loads to what's safe for the amps you choose...
