You could look into an Alpine PDX-F4 if you were looking to go the multi amp route. It's not that bad if you find a used one.
It used to. I personally can't hear the difference. The Class D full range amps today are all pretty good so you may not be able to hear the difference either. Obviously some are better than others. I just moved from an "SQ" A/B to a class D and I can't hear the difference. Granted it's a "good" one, but still. That JL is a good one. Even that little PPi is a good one. I wish they'd get off their ass and get that phantom 5 channel on the market already.I love JBL too, they make some very high value products at a low price like the MS-62C's. I like the JL as well for it size and power. I am just looking around for the best value. Also if you run a/b amp to the front components vs a d amp does it make a difference in sound quality?
I'm saying you would barely notice the difference between 50w and 75w.Wait, you lost me. If I put 50 watts to them, I should be able to turn up the volume higher without them clipping or distorting.
I know, if ppi did have the 900.5 on the market I wouldn't be in this situation. So it is just based on preference, I follow. Personally, I prefer the D because it won't tax my electrical system as much. That is why I originally listed mostly d styled amps. One last thing about a sub, just so I can clear this up. If want a nice accurate, deep, and tight bass so I would go with a sealed enclosure?It used to. I personally can't hear the difference.

There will be purists that will swear to you that they can hear the difference between A/B and D. But the (arguably) best SQ car on the planet right now uses all class D amps.
Sealed doesn't have the low end extension or efficiency of a ported box. If you have the room, I'd go ported. Especially with the lower power levels of those 5 channels. But as we've discussed already in this thread, you may not care about output.I know, if ppi did have the 900.5 on the market I wouldn't be in this situation.

Do you mean hitting the lower frequencies? You are correct I don't really care about the output levels in regards to loudness. I would match the sub based on the amp I pick. But with putting in a ported enclosure they take up to much space unless I were to go with something like one of JL's microsubs.Sealed doesn't have the low end extension or efficiency of a ported box.

Also, do you know if that the JBL amp has a bass knob that you can buy for it? I can't seem to find one.Sealed doesn't have the low end extension or efficiency of a ported box.

Id look at a Dayton DVC 4ohm 10,or 12 for the price you would be buying a JL sub for, and they come with a 5yr warranty.Sound great in sealed enclosures,as well as ported,small spaceshttp://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=295-463,and will be great on that ampSo I decided to go with the Alpine MRX-V70. Now I am looking for a sub for my system, out the ones I picked out, which do you think will best fit my application. The sub will be in a sealed enclosure.

Thanks for the recommendation, I actually really like that sub. Not to beat a dead horse though, what is the difference between a 10 inch and a 12 inch subwoofer?Id look at a Dayton DVC 4ohm 10,or 12 for the price you would be buying a JL sub for, and they come with a 5yr warranty.Sound great in sealed enclosures,as well as ported,small spaceshttp://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=295-463,and will be great on that amphttp://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=295-463
