12w0 @ 200RMS Vs. 12w3v3 @ 600RMS

[kmu 10+ year member]

Hi there, I currently have a 12w0 getting at most 200 watts RMS from the rear 2 channels of an alpine 4 channel amp...

What difference should I notice if I upgrade to a 12w3v3 with 600 RMS from an alpine class D amp?

This will be going on a Quad Cab center console box with .95cf3 of airspace.

THX in advance

600rms to one 12w3v3?? wouldnt that be too much power to handle...

i just bought a 12w3v3 for myself and plan on putting around 325rms @ 4ohms

i am giving ~600 watts to a oz audio vector 10 and it sounds great. i say, give it a whirl just be careful and slow with the gain.

experimenting is fun, have fun!

What difference in performance should I see with the upgrade?

im sure the bass will not only get louder, but it will probably sound better, too. that was the case with me. i dont really have any experience with those subs. never really know unless you try it out.

the sound quality of the w3 will be better and it should be louder than the 12w0
