Hello All Is it ok to surpass RMS on these subs? It is rated at 100-300 RMS. Will and underrated amp that pushes more than its listed 300RMS damage this sub? Are they super-sensitive subs that require NO MORE than listed RMS before blowing (like PERFECTS)? I'm looking into getting the dual...

I'll soon be ordering 1 12" ED O. I can't decide whether to get the single VC or dual VC. If I get the single VC, I want to get an RF 1001bd to give the sub 500x1 RMS at 4 ohms. If I get the dual VC, I'd get an RF501bd to give the sub 500x1RMS at 2 ohms. Is it true that 4 ohm loads have less...

Up until recently, I had been set on getting 5.25" and 6.5" JL VR or Infinity Kappa coaxials for my Jeep (6.5's in the soundbar, 5.25's in floor pods) and powering them with a 4-channel amp. It was suggested to me that I should look into components and a 2-channel amp instead. I have heard a...

Regarding wind and road noise... Despite the roar of 35" tires and the wind zooming by, keep in mind that I have a Halftop. In a sense, the box w/ sub will be in it's own little enclosure with the only opening facing the back/lower part of the front seats (a halftop creates somewhat of a Jeep...

Really?! Will I not be able to tell that I have a sub sitting a couple feet behind me in my Jeep if "only" 200 watts are going to it? I mean, I know of people who have simple setups with only 100x2 going to a couple 10's and it sounds just fine. Those setups are in car trunks, not Jeeps, but...

Ohhhhh I think I get it now. When the 4ohm DVC SUB is wired in parallel, it draws the 2 ohm load from whatever amp you're using...? But why do the specs for the JL 12W6V2 say "Dual 4 ohm only" ?? What's the deal with the "only"? I'm assuming that does NOT mean I can't wire it to 2 ohms for...

You've been a BIG help, thanks!!! One more question though... trying to get my vocab down with all this stuff... getting an amp's 2ohm load to a 4ohm DVC sub is called a PARALLEL setup right?... as opposed to a SERIES setup which would result in an 8ohm load.

Basically, for whatever 4 ohm DVC sub I decide to go with, I should get a class D amp that puts out the sub's RMS rating at 2 ohms, correct??? I hope so, that sounds simple enough.

The 12001 does 750 at 2 ohms. I can't find what the 800 does... the only paperwork I can find just says 200x2, 800max. But what you're saying is, I need to find an amp that puts out 400-500x1 at 2 ohms for the JL?

Now that I know that I don't HAVE to hook up seperate channels to each coil, and since you're mentioning the efficiency of a class D, I'll go ahead and mention that I also have an Audiobahn A12001DT. It is 400x1 at 4 ohms. Should I use it instead of the A8002T's 200x2 at 4 ohms??? I would...

Why do the specs for the JL say Dual 4 ohm ONLY? I'll look into the Kicker amp. But, COULD I use the Audiobahn that I already have and send 200x2 to the JL?? Thus far, I've been happy with how it sounds and what it puts out and I don't want to buy something new if I can just use what I...

Ok, thanks Jon Give me some examples of what amps to use for the JL and how I would route the power. I was gonna go with an amp that I already have. It's an Audiobahn A8002T that does 200X2 RMS. Could I stick with it?

I'm quite sure that JL 12W6V2's are Dual 4 ohm only. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the purpose of dual voice coils are to prevent overheating..... the same amount of wattage is going to the sub but from 2 "inlets" rather than 1. Thus, I thought I needed to get a 2-channel amp at...

Since a JL 12W6V2 can handle 400RMS and it has dual voice coils, I should find an amp that pushes approximately 200x2 INSTEAD of an amp that does 400x1... RIGHT?!?!?! Thanks

Thanks man I'll consider the Infinities again. But what about the power issue?? ...the mere 200 watts going to any of those subs... would they still sound good?
