GX7 is rated at 1000 watts at 4 ohms per side. Lab12s are rated at 400 watts a piece.....seems like plenty to me.

If you are talking about Lab15s, then yes it is underpowered unless you run one per channel - 725 watts at 8 ohms.

Sorry for not specifying the lab 15

500w per driver is plenty. If you need more than 500w per driver, you need more cabs, not more power.
