Right now in my current setup I have two JL Audio 12W6v2-D4's in a sealed (un-ported) enclosure. The amp I have it running off of right now is a Bazooka ELA500.1. I believe the w6's have an RMS of 600w while my amp has an RMS of 500w and I also feel like they are being underpowered. When I turn up my headunit too high I also think I hear some distortion in them.
I know it's good to leave headroom when matching the amplifier's RMS to the subs' for a clean amplified single, so I'm worried that they are underpowered and not bumping to their full potential. I'm thinking about getting a better amp for future upgrades, but in the meantime is it bad to power the JL's with this Bazooka amp?
Thanks for the replies
