    JL12W0 and JL12W3

    I just purchased two JL 12W3's last night and have them running off my Lightning Audio S1.1000d. According to the wiring charts off of JL's site wiring the 4 ohm voice coils in parallel presents a 2 ohm load to the amp. With the way I have it set up, that would give me around 500 Watts RMS...

    this one or that one

    Depends on two things I'd say. 1. Your budget 2. Your ears If it were me, I'd go with the Power HX2's. If you have the ability to listen to each sub, then do that first. If that is not an option, I'd recommend the Power HX2's

    Spl and Sq... help

    Most of the time a company is usuall known for making more spl subs or sq subs, or a balance between the two. As far as telling the difference between the two I believe that comes down to more of a listening session. Of course, I'm always open to stand corrected! The HE's are going to be...

    Subwoofer outputs for Pioneer head units?

    Most companies have very similair head units that they release all that include the same manual. Often, the most feature bogged head unit is the one that has a manual made for it, then the "lower-end" of those head unit lines are shipped out with that manual. Hope that made sense! If not...

    jbl?

    With the JBL 1200.1 you will be looking at ~240.00 if you purchase it online. JL amps are definetly good amps and will push your subs but from what I've seen they seem to be a bit pricey. They are quality amps though, no doubt about that. On a side note they will both push your subs without...
