Amp for my jbl gx1200 sub

[Rayher12]

i was wondering if anyone could recommend me some amps for my sub. It’s a jbl gx1200 250 watts rms at 4 ohms single voice coil. Someone recommended me a Rockville db11 it does 220 cea rated but 440 rms and I was wondering what you guys think or would recommend? I have about 100 bucks to spend on an amp. Thanks

Hmmmm. That's a tough one. You can find a Power Acoustik RZR1 2500 for under $100 new. They do 400rms at 4 ohm.

okay what do you think about the Rockville one I posted about, should I follow the cea rating or watts rms

The rockville is rated 350 at 2 ohms. So at 4 ohms which your subwoofer will be at it will probably put out around half that. It has a 40 amp fuse so I don't think it will put out enough power at 4 ohms. It's always good to have headroom with amplifiers. The Power Acoustik has a 50 amp fuse rating and should do slightly more power.

Okay right now I saw it on Walmart’s website for $97, but at Best Buy the have a keyword for 100. What do you think about this one it gives some headroom

this one is 69 but I wasn’t sure about power acoustik being a good brand but now that you mention it I fell better about it.

Robot or human?

For $100 go with that Kenwood.



That is the OD 1500. The Power Acoustik I was recommending was the RZR1 2500.

Like pop says, that kenwood puts out what it says. It’s a good solid 300 watts. Do that one.

I prefer Knukonceptz wiring. 8 gauge would be plenty.
