I have 2 JL Audio 10W1v2-4 600 watts max 300rms im putting in my ridgeline with a downfiring box. My question is which amp would you reccomend? and would you run it 4 ohms or 2 ohms?

•frequency response: 10-35K Hz

•variable high- and low-pass filter (50-500 Hz, 12 dB/octave)

OR

Neither of the amps you listed are right for the application. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I would advise you to buy something reasonable, like this: Free Shipping (119.95) MB QUART DSC480

4-Channel 640W DISCUS 08 Series AMPLIFIER

That amp is more than good enough and it's only $120 shipped. It's rated for 320 watts rms x2 @ 4 ohms bridged. That's almost perfect for the subs you have.

Isnt 320 watts going to be a little much? I have never heard of MB quart. Is the price represenative of the quality?

MB Quart is a descent name but if you've spent the money on JL's then stick with the brand and have a matching setup...is the 300w rms for both as a pair or per woofer?

 

[jblaze1984]

Its per speaker. 300 watts rms max 600 watts peak(not rms) but continous rms 150 watts. So i decided to go with the infinity 1600a which i bought yesterday and run them mono 2ohms with 200 watts rms flowing to each speaker. Infinity Reference 1600a Mono subwoofer amplifier 600 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com

The MB Quart amp I linked is **** near perfect for your subs. MB Quart's discus series amps are pretty nice. Lots of people are using them and there are few complaints.

I went with the infinity reference 1600a mono amp which I have heard nothin but good things about. Its 600watts rms at 2ohms and 400watts 4ohms so Im going to be running both subs and 2 ohms parralel and get 200 watts rms flowing to each of them which should be a dream match. Thanks for the replies guys

Im with misfit i lol'd also. Ok so my amps a sundown audio. My last sub was a cascade omega. It didnt match brands. IS that a big problem or is it shitty. Ha no since either component is insane quality and such. Jl blows and is ftl. Also it is better to have a amp which puts more power out than the sub needs. You set your gais. When you crank your gains to max to try to make the sub loud then u clip it sending shitty signal power to it. And Poof it can blow. Swap meet kinda stereo ha prestige what set up do you have>?
