I have narrowed down to couple "budget" amps for solo 12L7 (750watts)


Cadence Z9000 (4 Ohms mono power: 1 X 800W) for $269 @ shop4sound.com

MTX 6500D (2 Ohms 775W x 1 Variable) for $329 @ shop4sound.com

Autotek Super Sport SS750.1 (750W @ 1ohm) for $309 @ shop4sound.com

JBL 1200.1 (4 Ohms: 600W x 1, 2 Ohms: 1200W x 1) for $274.99 @ etronics.com


What amp would be the best match for solobaric 12L7? Help would be greatful. Please comment on the amps too. BTW, these arent that bad for prices huh

 

Is it the 2 ohm dual voice coils, or the dual 4 ohm voice coil?

 

I would go with the MTX

 

If you have the 2ohn DVC, then I would go with
Cadence Z9000 (4 Ohms mono power: 1 X 800W)
if it's 4ohn DVC, then I would go with either the JBL ot MTX, can't go wrong with those brands.

 

Don't go with a cheapo amp for that sub. The L7 is a badass, I would go with a badass amp to match...

 

JBL 1200.1, not sure if the L7 can take that much power though. The JBL amp has the most power and is the second cheapest on your list, easy choice to me. It's also rock solid, won't overheat, and sounds very good. The one drawback is that it takes a lot of power from your elec. system, but that's a given. Not sure if that price is shipped, but I got mine from ikesound.com and they have it for $285 shipped now. I haven't used any of those other amp brands, but you'll be very hard pressed to find someone who has a JBL amp that isn't extremely satisfied with it.

 

I want to stay around(but not less) RMS watts, which is 750watts. Come to think of it, JBL 1200 is too much, and I dunna blow out my ear drums. I've been researching for a LONG time and my best choice came out to be Cadence A4HC 800RMS watts ($400 @ shop4sound). However, that guy is way too much $ for me, so I was thinking about Cadence Z7000HC @ 750watts ($370). Still mucho $, so I did some more researching and I found Autotek SS 750.1 for $309(now thats better ) HOWEVER, many web sites spec Autotek SS750.1 at 750rms watts at 2ohms, but if you goto their official website, Autotek SS750.1 is listed at 600rms watts (12v).... Not what I wanted, and I'm pretty sure the official website has the "correct" specs... Ah.. so hard to find a best bang for buck amps. Hows my choices so far though? A4HC, Z7000HC, SS750.1 ??? Thanks for the replys guys
