Amp suggestions for 3 JL10W6's

[djezbrad 10+ year member]

I am in the market for a new amplifier. I posted here earlier without my sub specs. Here they are. I will be looking for an amp that will push 3 JL Audio 10W6's that are dual voice coil, 6ohm, 300watt speakers. These are the amps I have been contemplating : JBL 1200.1, Audiobahn A8001D, Kicker 600.1, or MA Audio SY5011DX. If anyone has any suggestions for me on what amp to go with any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

DANG HAVING THREE OF THESE BABIES

U'R EITHER GETTING 4OHM LOAD OR 1OHM LOAD

UMMMM SO U NEED EITHER 1OHM STABLE AMP OR 4OHM AMP

NEED SOMETHIN AROUND 900 WATTS RMS

GOOD LUCK FINDING AN AMP THAT IS GONNA BE CHEAP PUTTING OUT THAT MANY WATTS AT 4OHMS

BEST BET,

GET SAME AMP I GOT

HIFONICS Z1000D...

1000 WATTS @ 1OHM

FOR LIKE 275 ON EBAY

IT NEVER CUTS OFF, CYA

or you could just waste a load of money and get a jl 1000/1 its 1000w rms @ 1.5~4ohms

When you say the JBL 1200.1 pushing 3 JL6's your joking right? I hope you don't do that, because 3 JL6s are so powerful they could kill someone. I would hate to see 1000$ of Subs wasted on 1 little, but quality to a point, JBL 1200.1. I would recommend A soundstream Tarantula even a Rubicon would work or a Orion of any sort.

go to website and read spec's for that sub JL is a little different

yeah, according to their website you can wire it to a 4 ohm load, http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/3dvc.html so in that case, wire it to a 4 ohm load and use an MTX 81000D, it's 850W RMS @ 4ohm, and they're usually about 30% underrated at 4 ohm, so in reality it's more like 1105W RMS @ 4ohm. this is the cheapest that i've found it http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=mtx81000d

(do i say 4 ohm a little too much?)

well i don't konw how much that amp cost, but

like i said he could always get same stuff i got

amp only 275... how much that mtx?

 

[Moocow16 10+ year member]

[limitkid7 5,000+ posts]

hummmm

399 compared to 275.......

mtx amps are good though, but so are hifonics!

The JBL 1200.1 will be just perfect... wire the 3 W6's down to 1 ohm and you will get about 1400watts RMS...

Just right for your JL's, each will get 466 watts RMS...

is that jbl 1ohm stable?

 

[kmu 10+ year member]

Yes it's 1 ohms stable... and pretty cheap in price... $270

I spoke to a few guys in a elite car audio chat room and they said the JBL1200.1 will over power my w6's. Even with the gain turned all the way down. These can take a max of 300 watts per speaker.

funny they say that... the rms of them are 300 watts. not the max.....

the subs can handle up to 600 watts max... so you have nothing to worry about really, just make sure the subs are in a sealed enc. and that u have amp tuned!
