My current setup consists of 2 jl audio 12w6v2's in a sealed box. Powering those is an Alpine MRP-m1000.
Speakers are wired to the mono amp to present a 4 ohm load to it. So according to alpine i'm putting 600 watts to the pair. 4ga wire from the battery which happens to be about 4' away. lol it's in the trunk on this car.
From what I've read the w6's are capable of 600w each.
Before anyones says Why didn't you buy a more powerful amp it is because I already had the amp and came across the speakers later.
I was considering buying another MRP-M1000 and rewiring the woofers so that they are 2 ohms each, and running one to each amp.
That would be putting 1000w to each speaker.
My question is do you think if I were to run full power to the w6's that there is a good chance of overpowering them and blowing them? I have heard that the w6's like more power than they are rated for.
Thanks for any advice.
