Amp for JL C2-650

[JessyBoy86]

hi guys,

i'm new to this forum. I'm planning to buy a pair of JL C2-650. Focusing only on front stage here. i hate to hear anything coming from behind //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Will a JX360/2 be alright ?

and what's the difference between class D and class A/B amps ?

I was looking at a few class D amps but they are more expansive and i can't see any of those that pulls out around 100W x 2 at 4ohm unless you bridge them. I don't wanna bridge them cuz i wanna keep the setup stereo...

i use to run two 6-1/2'' coaxial type R with a class D MRV300 and needed to bridge it to get the 150W x 2. The loudness was pretty good but i was losing quality as the volume went up.

Feel free to suggest anything else guys....Basicaly, i want a good front stage system with component speakers and want the best bang for buck ! I want excellent quality at high volume !

Get a 4 channel. It will leave you room to grow larger on when you decide to ditch the passive crossovers

Don't get caught up in D vs A/B. A good amp is a good amp

JL is not bang for your buck, they are mediocre with bad tweeters

Look at NVX for speakers and amp. The JAD amp is based off a very good Hertz amp. The top speakers are based off a $$ ARC black.

Good thx for your input !

but based on what i see on NVX website, the X-series 6-1/2'' are 115W rms each at 4 ohm, while the JAD800/4 pulls out 125Wx4 rms at 4 ohm....i heard the amp we use should be around 150% of the speakers rating so you run the amp at low gain and prevent the amp from clipping....i'm not a professional of audio so i would like to know what real enthusiasts think about it !

Lol no. You use enough power to reach output goals with your equipment. The amp is only going to clip if you make it clip. Those will have plenty of output, probably more than you have ever heard

Ok, so tell me if i'm getting this correctly :

if i get a 4 channel amp, i can run 2 mid-woofers and 2 tweeters seperately on each channel so i won't need any external crossovers, right ? i just set the LP on the woofer and the HP on the tweeter through the amp ?

That's called active and I'm pretty sure that one has that capability. You can buy the speakers raw without the passives

The JAD800.4 is 115W rms x4 at 4ohm...

The X-series 6.5'' midwoofer is 50W rms

The x-series 29mm tweeter is 65W rms

Is the JAD800.4 too powerful for those speakers ? I guess i need to keep the gain at minimum ?
