    Best is something you probably can't afford or won't pay for. From your two options I'd definitely pick the Kicker though.

    hifonics are best bang for your buck IMO...kicker amps are over priced IMO

    Since you made a dumb blanket statement in response I will too. New Hifonics amps are crap.

    i have a kicker sx1250.1 on my two L7's and i wish i would have went bigger. if you have the money get the kicker 2500.1 but get the older model it will go down to 1 ohm whereas the newer one will only run at two ohms. it all depends on if your subs are dual 2 or 4 ohm though. if they are 2 ohm just get the new one but if they are 4 ohm get the older one and it will be loud as hell. but i dont know if you have the money for that amp. if you need a good hook up on that amp let me know and i can have it shipped to you for around a grand. which is most likely cheaper than anywhere else. lmk.

    well if you have the money then go with the kicker 2500.1 it will knock the hell out of those L7's.

    I think M5 is right the best amp you prolly cant afford or wont buy. I mean seriously are you going to spend $4,000 to push some $300 subs? Buy an Orion 2500d. case closed

    Exactly. There are a ton of options and the Hifonics shouldn't be anywhere near one of them, since the doof in front of me made a blanket statement about them I had to retort. Nothing wrong at all with that Orion though. I didn't offer an amp, but you never even stated what impedance your subs were so how could I??

    im pretty sure he established that he will pay w/e he needs to for the subs to sound awesome. and they are no where near $300 subs. They run $400 a piece. but the orion is a good choice of amp.

    well then it will boil down to budget, and what features you want/need. :)

    Get 2 dual 4 ohms and wire them into 2 ohms and then run them to a 2005 or older kicker 2500.1 and i swear it will be the spawn of satan. It will be F'in loud!

    Id go with a hifonics amp. Kicker and most others over rate their amps. Hifonics makes a lot of the better amps out there.

    actually, if you check, Kicker amps are usually 30% underrated, they will do way more pwoer than published power. Birth sheets of actual powering doesn't lie. And in order to get the 2 ohm load, you actually need two DVC 2s for a final 2 ohm, two DVC 4's for a final 1 ohm.
