Boss, Vibe, Lanzar, Coustic, et al is proven junk. Not worth the scrap parts they are made out of.
BS. The Lanzar Vibe 1200D is actually a proven performer and was one of the best deals available for a nice class D amp. Vibe is a series of Lanzar. The optidrive, although aimed more towards mid-low budget systems now, used to be one of the best amps available. I wouldn't be surprised if the Boss and Lanzar amps share the same internals with Hifonics, MA Audio and Audiobahn.

Shop around, you can find excellent deals right now on good quality class D amps from MA Audio, AudioBahn, HiFonics, etc. that will do an excellent job moving that W7.
I've got (1) 10" MA Audio XL competition series sub [freakin thing weighs almost 26 lbs.] and a HiFonics XI-Zeus pushing it and while it might not be a db record holder, you can't hardly sit near the car with it cranked anyway. Have less than $500 invested in the amp and sub. What else do you need in a daily driver anyway???
Your JLs require a ton of amp power and you're better off with one less sub than trying to push them with junk amps.
The JLs are no less effecient than most in their class. You could run them with 300w RMS and have no issues and satisfactory output in the right enclosure.
