2 jl audio 12w6v2 with alpine mrp-m1000

I'm not a big fan of that line of alpine amps either.

Perhaps use it while you save up for something else. I used to run a seperate amp for each sub, it's much simplier to go with one good sized amp.

Save for something bigger/better then sell the alpine.

I think i'm going to order an audioque aq1200 amp. Looks like they are stable to 1 ohm and 1200w too.

THanks for the advice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

FIREHAWK618,

i was thinking- you have your subs in a sealed box right, if i'm correct mostly seal are meant for SQ.

Sounds like your'e looking for more SPL right, have you tried a Ported box!!!!

with those subs you get more of SQL which be what your looking.

did you make your box?

is it a prefab box?

try to make a better box before buying a newer amp

he needs a new amp either way.

Hes already underpowering by half, he def needs more power to em

that alpine amp he has is 600x1 into 4ohms & 1000x1into 2ohms

i dont think the subs are the right vc to beable to wire down to 2 ohms.

on the 12w6v2 has what jl calls jumper wires

if he has it wired to vc1- to vc2+ it wired into 8ohm-Series connection

if he has it wired to vc1- to vc2-& vc1+ to vc2+it wired into 2ohm-Parallel connection

he needs look @ how he has it wired as well

This is correct however I am running two subs. Therefore 4 ohm load currently.

i would look into a hifonics amp or something along those line. THey give out almost rated power and are on the cheaper side too

Actually, if he goes with the Hifonics Brutus line, he really should consider going the next model up. Since the OP needs 1,200 watts RMS @ 1 ohm then get a 1608 or 1610 just to ensure that he gets those 1,200 watts RMS

Wow, it feels weird that I made a positive post about the Hifonics BXi line and didn't bash them

have you tried to run 1 sub to see how it might sound?

or have you ever tried reverse phase?

are your subs in there own camber?

how much space is your box?

when i had first bought my 12w6v2 it came in jl's premade sealed box which i hated, i didnt understand why that sub seemed not to sound right for me.

i went to a 1.25 camber & that made a difference.

i'm working on a 1.65 camber now, not sure if i'm going sealed or ported.

when i talk to jl they told me that sub can be put into a larger box, which it will go deeper & have better sound/louder.

so what i'm saying is, your box is just as important as is how much power your feeding each sub

even of he getts that amp he wont be runing a 1ohm load with those subs,

if he gets the jl 1000/1, each sub will have there own input, that amp will make a huge difference they will be getting 500watts each, those subs max is 600,1000/1 has that slash EQ which is really nice feature for d class amp
