What's the simplest way to driving two 24v solenoids of 7w each, from my 12v system?

Thanks,
John

What kind of solenoids? The 'simplest' is probably
to change out for 12v devices. An 'up-converter'
is parts intensive and potential radio noise
source.

At the risk of sounding flippant, the simplest way is to replace them with 12v solenoids.
What do they control; are they mechanical actuators, or contactors for handling higher current than the control can handle? If they are actuators and you can identify them by part number, you might even be able to get 12v coils for them.
If all the above fails, google for '12v to 24v converter', or just search ebay.
