What would be a sufficient amp/s to power two kicker S12L7-4 12" L7 SOLO-BARICS. Does any one have a good brad that they like

i'm powering mine with a kicker zx1000.1
most people will tell you to give them 750rms each minimum to reach their full potential, but with 500rms each, mine get very loud and sound good doing it.

so you could get away with 1000-1500w rms.

like the man ^^^ said...why does this question keep coming up. It's not magic, the speaker is rated for a certain number of watts rms...use that as your guide....really simple. If you're looking for a magic number that some of the more experienced guys are using, then you're not ready to be using more than recommended rms for your speaks.
