Advice on amp to go with 2 JL Audio 10w3 woofers
Hey everyone.
Thinking of getting 2 10 inch w3 JL Audio subs and I wanted to see what amp would work well with them. I will be keeping my current stock bose headunit. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Here is some info about the sub: 10" 4-ohm subwoofer mineral-filled polypropylene cone with nitrile-butylene rubber surround power range: 100-500 watts RMS peak power handling: 1,000 watts frequency response: 25-250 Hz sensitivity: 84.87 dB top-mount depth: 5-7/8" sealed box volume: 0.625 cubic feet ported box volume: 1.125 cubic feet http://m.crutchfield.com/mt/www.crut...owAll=N&tp=111 |

That's a 1500 watt amp. Is that really necessary? Is that because the subs are each 500 rms?
|
I came across the JL Audio J2 500.1 Mono amp. It says that its 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms, and then below it also says 340 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms. Would this amp work with my desired setup that has a 500 watt RMS (the 2 JL Audio 10w3 subs)?

t1500- at 2ohm is 1000watts rms ,
its easier to blow a sub when you underpower it than when you over power it it all depends on how you wire them aswell theres many possibilities |
Update!
Okay after quite a bit of research, I think I figured out what I need. Plan is to have 2 JL Audio 10w3v3s. Product list is as follows: -2 JL Audio 10w3v3-4 subwoofers (each: 4 ohms, 500 RMS watts) -Sealed enclosure sub box (similar to the Zenclosure boxes) -JL Audio J2 1000.1 (1,000 watts RMS x 1 ohm) -AudioControl LC6i - 4 gauge amplifier wiring kit by StreetWires "Power Station PSK04Bi" (I doubt I'll be spending the $ for the kit, but these are the wires ill be needing) -12 gauge speaker wire Does this make sense? Am I missing anything else? Would anyone recommend a different brand for any of the products? I definitely want to go with the JL Audio 10w3 subs; all else can vary, just as long as I'm getting the most out of the subs. Any advice is greatly appreciated! |
Anyone? I want to go ahead and get everything I've listed, but I want to be sure that this type of setup will work. Share your opinions people!
Thanks! |

How many ohms are they? You also have the HD 750 to choose from.

4 ohms each. I went with the JL Audio J2 1000.1.
