Rep Power: 417 300 wrms bridged at 4 ohms?
L7 handles 750 rms
L5 handles 500 rms(or was it 600?)
L5 would be alright. depends what your looking for? you care about sound quality? you care about how loud it is? you like a lil of both?

Rep Power: 338 im really sorry if you feel this is disrespectful, but you went backwards. you are supposed to pick which woofer you want for your car. this is what factors in all of yoru sound. THEN once you have a woofer planned, you figure out what amp will run it best. theres no point to getting teh amp you want to run because it just adds one more requirement on the already too large list of requirements to look for when sub shopping. what if you had a custom built box that was .5 cubic feet sealed, with that amp? then youd REALLY be stuck with whatever you could get, forget how it sounds!
how your car sounds is entirely based upon your speaker choice. buying your subwoofer based on the amplifier and not sound, space requirements, musical tastes is irresponsible, as there is now a smaller chance you will actually like yoru choice, a smaller chance that the subwoofer will perform to the greatest gain of your system.
always choose yoru speakers first! power comes later.....

Rep Power: 0 300Wrms is plenty of power to run pretty much any sub you want.. I'm only running 400Wrms to a sub that can handle 1000..it still bumps pretty good and sound great..what matters more now is how your willing to spend on the sub... you can always upgrade to a bigger amp later
