i did changed to the polarity. any other ideas? alright brahmas it is then, what size do you think would be good? im going to for loud spl in an suv.

im running 2 12w3v2s sealed (1.25 each-inverted) off a JL 500.1 running at 2ohms. My gains are only a third up and my subs move to full excursion. Shouldnt they be able to handle more power like 600 watts each like JL says? They get ok loud. They sound like they could be pushed more though, but...

im wonderin if anyone knows how to use the q settings on the JL amps for the bass boost. i know a bigger q seting is a wider fq but how does it work and how do you convert q to actually frequency?

the new 13w3v2 is coming out soon and im getting one to run off my jl 500.1 amp. my question is how would compare to 2 12w3v2s in output and sq? i have a small trunk (93 prelude) so im thinking the single sub setup is going to sound better because of more enclosure options (ported, sealed, any...

500 watts is 500 watts but 4 ohms sometimes can sound alittle cleaner than at 2 ohms (damping factor) but not much. underpowering is ok until you crank it to the point where the amp clips because the sub is trying to pull too much power. over powering is sometimes ok depending on subs (some...

i had an old hollywood edge 12, 600 rms and it runs well. it gets loud but i dont think sq is that great. the voice coils heated up quick too but i think if you power them correctly they should be fine. good subs for the money

sorry one more thing can a port be too big for a speaker? (is 6 inthes in diameter too big for a 12w3v2?) and also, the port i used was only 5 inches long and i had to extend it with a slightly wider piece of pvc, is this a problem or it will be ok if i sand the inside edge smooth? the...

im running JL Audio 500.1 and 2 12w3v2 subs just put it in last week and i havent had alot of time to mess with the settings, gains, slight port adjustments etc. Honda Preludes are a bitc* when it comes to rattles. ive dynamatted everything and im still getting alot of rattles. anyways, it...

ive always been a fan of JL. I just like to products, the way they sound and look. The w7s are made from scratch by JL in their factory with no foreign manufacture. I know you do pay for the name and what not, but could it be that you pay for quality? I know JL have some new technologies in...

whoever said that zapco amps arent good is wrong. they are one the best high end amps out there, comparable to JL, PG etc. That company is dedicated to making amps and signal processors only and theyre good at it. read the specs. Theyre used in alot of JL sub installs

theyre loud, alot of spl, not so much sq, but definately not reliable. Voice coils heat up and burn if you dont feed them correct power. Theyre alright but I would spend twice the money for something that would sound better and last twice as long.

do you like the JL stuff?

so which caps do you consider good jmac? Im not saying i dont believe you about what youre sayin about caps but where did you get that info? i know an alternator has to be big enough to power the whole car and system and then some but a cap doesnt take much to power, it stays at the same...

it was a fukin joke to see how ppl like get so messed up when you read posts from people that dont know as much as you.

i agree a 10w7 should hit hard sealed but Triggah wants people to hear him from down the street and mess up the cars beside him. Youre telling me a single sub sealed is going to do that? Dont you think at least some 12s are needed? and if youre only running a single sub, i would definately port...
