nope, not at all....you need to be sure the amp will be stable at the ohm load your running your subs and be sure your not over powering them

MTX makes nice amps that power Kicker subs very nice.

Thats overkill IMHO... the zx1000.1 will put down ~1200w rms usually. Check out the cadence 1000w too... For 1 L7 that should be plenty!

you kids and your square subs. . Im not sure why people are recommending amps to you without knowing your voice coil configuation first. Thats a bit important to know before spitting out ideas.

I think underpowering is a little more dangerous...thats when people try to compensate

Speaker wire. There are charts and calculators on the web that tell how much signal loss with what gauge wire you use. I'm guessing 12 gauge should be good but look on those charts to be sure.

Sony exploid 1300watt amp is not the best but it works and its a good price. The brand dosen't have to make just make sure the oms and the rms does.
