you can't go wrong with anything from rockford. Especially the amp you mentioned. that will produce some killer power that will please any ear. Go for the rockford, but I hope you pocket is deep.

true Rockford is good, but let us not overlook Clarion, MTX, Kicker and not to mention Pioneer

You wanna push those subs hard? Go with a Memphis, Audiobahn, or MMATS amp. They make some amps that will really knock the crap out of your subs, and be crystal clear while doing it. Plus, you're friends will underestimate your power when they see what you have, because they more than likely will have never heard of those brands. My advice to anyone who wants to drop some serious power, stay off the beaten path, and investigate brands that you've never heard of. Those are generally companies that haven't sold out to Corporate america like some other companies have.

For raw power, get a Class D amp. Our L7 woofers like alot of power, but you'll need an amp stable to push that without drawing too much power from your charging system. The DX700 comes with a module like our RGX, so you have full gain access from up front of the vehicle. And over 700+ watts on hand. Most have actual birth certificates that exceed closer to 800 watts.
In the proper enclosure, they ought to slam.
If you need box help, email support@kicker.com and talk to Aaron or Jerimy.

later.

I happen to personally know polecat and can verify that he works for Kicker. Just for the record, my ZR600 put out 824 watts. I have seen some that have done even more than that! The ZR600 is for sale. Any offers?

Formula,
That was a joke. I kind o guessed that when his profile shows him being from stillwater. Alas, my humor is lost, or unappreciated.
