Ive always been a fan of kicker amps...
But alpines, JL's Kenwoods, etc...are all good
Just stay away from sony

But your going to need some power to drive 2 L7's

these subs have a 750 rms 1500 peak. since they are dual speakers you can get 2ohm off of each and then put those in parallel and get 1 ohm of out them. the amp @ 1ohm gives out 1600watts which is 100 more than needed just to run them properly.

1 x 550 W @ 4 Ohms, 1 x 1100 W @ 2 Ohms, 1 x 1600 W @ 1 Ohm

someone correct me if im wrong.

nah its not bad. its 750 rms 1500 Peak ( max) so you good for 3000 watts. 1500rms is what you going to need just to run the subs properly.
