Here are a couple, I didn't see a price range. But theses are medium to high on the budget.

Thoses are a couple of amps that I use often and have had no problems with. But there are many more then that on the market

</TD></TR></TABLE> Keeping in mind that the 12W7 is a 750W 3 ohm sub, you are going to need 1500W-1600W RMS into 1.5 ohm load, min.... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/prod..._id=9 I would find 2 JL Audio 1000/1 amps and just keep the gains down a bit, good luck. 94

why buy 2 12" w7s and then want a cheap amp..

you will need atleast a jl 500/1 on each one.

but for best results a 1000/1 on each would be great

I currently have 1 12W7 powered with a 500/1 JL amp, bumps like crazy and the gain isn't even all the way up (maybe at +10dB)...i would suggest one 1000/1 JL amp to power both, the amp is stable down to 1.5 ohm so your impedence would still be alright, last time a checked u can pick up a 1000/1 amp on ebay for like 650 or so, better get a bigass cap for 2 12W7's!
