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:

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

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!

What makes you say that? Seems like its good quality according to many members on here.

my friend had an altima custom zenclosure box , didnt sound the greatest

if your doing your whole install why not build the box aswell

Well I'm powering 2 subs at 500 RMS each, so a 600 watt amp wouldn't be enough...right?

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.
