Default Best Amps for Car Subwoofers?

I'm using 4 JL audio w7, i haven't have time to make the box for it, but i'm gather parts for it already. Before i was using a Zapco 750.5 amp and i had only 1 w7 back then. I know let alone the Zapco amp i have won't power 4 w7's. So what other amp is good? Or should i just buy 2-3 more Zapco amps? Let me know! This will all fit into a 90 Crx

This setup isn't too bad either.

</TD></TR></TABLE>What size W7s ? Makes a big diff., 10" are 300watt and 12" are 750watt and the 13" are 1000watt go to http://www.jlaudio.com for recommended box size and wattage and possable JL audio amp/amps. The way I see it, if you have 4 13" W7s you are going to need 4000watts, that would be 4 JL 1000/1 94

the w7's are all 13 inch. I assume JL doesn't make exclosure boxes to where 4 13 inch will fit all together. For the amps, I'm going to stick with Zapco Series.
