CAN YOU RUN 3-10w6v2'S OFF OF A ZAPCO 1100.1???

[PeteNYC 10+ year member]

I'm just about to trade in my JL500/1 amp and 12W6V2 for 3-10W6V2's and a Zapco 1100.1 amp to power them. I just am not crazy about the way a 12" sounds. I heard 3- 10"s and man thats what I like! Quick, tight accurate and LOUD!! I heard that the JL1000.1 doesnt push that hard on 3 10"s but the Zapco can.

Do you guys think that a Zapco 1100.1 could push the 3 10W6V2's effectively?

The 10W6V2's are rated at 400RMS each, so thats a total of 1200RMS. The Zapco gives 1100RMS total, but is known to be underated in their wattage. Normally you would like the amp to push more than the RMS of the subs, but in this case do you think the Zapco could handle the job?

What you guys say will help me go out and make these changes.

Thanx....

Hey JMAC... I see what you mean....

Power Handling:

1200W Continuous

Drivers:

Three 10W6v2

Final Impedance:

2.7 Ohms Mono

Dimensions:

12.75"H x 34.25"W x 15.60"D

Notes:

Sealed enclosure

rear-firing design

This is for the JL CVS310RG-10W6V2 set. It's the Prowedge 3-way box with the 10W6V2's in it. And it has listed the final impedance as 2.7 Ohms as you posted through RF pictorial analysis. I am not very educated on this subject of ohms, etc., but how does this effect me in what way? Good or bad, neutral?

This box would be kick *** though. 1200RMS in a JL made box to their standards with a Zapco 1100.1 running it. My only question is would that Zapco 1100.1 be suffice to cover the RMS needed by the 3 10W6V2's?

Thanx.........

But would it worth spending all that extra money?

Would the sound be that much better even though they arent pushed to their max?

I'll have to wait and see.

Thanx
