The Kicker S12L7 is a 750W continuous, [RMS] sub, so you should be looking for a mono-block sub amp with 750W-1000W RMS into 2 ohms. 94

Are you wanting to stay with kicker or does it not matter ? Try Ubid.com I always get good stuff from them but make shure it is new not a refurb and that it has a warrenty. Ma audio is good for the money to .

Kicker ZX1000.1... http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-...B.pdf

JL Audio 1000/1 or the newer 1000/1v2... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/prod...d=440

MTX TC8001... http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/pr...1.cfm
MTX TA7801... http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/pr...1.cfm
MTX 1000XD... http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/pr...D.cfm

Alpine PDX-1.1000... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...tab=F

There are more that will do the job, My order of preference of the above would be the JL Audio then the Alpine then the MTX and finally the Kicker.

It kind of depends on your budget, 750W RMS+ is not going to be cheap. 94

That's doable, even a new one from an authorized dealer.
You may even be able to get the older JL Audio 1000/1, [replaced by 1000/1v2] for $500 as a disco blowout. 94
