In Reply To	Well I'm not using 1000 watts I'm using a 500/1 on each one posted by Musashi Sword on January 06, 2009 at 05:00 PM
Message	It's the quickest way to have the W7 pop at high volume levels. To little of power is VERY bad for a speaker. A 500/1 V2 is best suited to a W6. I refuse to sell a W7 without a 1000/1 or equivalent. What gauge of wire are you running to the amp?
