[QUOTE="PowerNaudio, post: 2428575, member: 561215"] frankiebones, i had a JL 500/1 for over 2 years in that time i ran various subs including the type r 10" that you mention you had or have, but never a JL series sub. which i regret. either way the JL 500/1 puts out way over 500wrms. i read an article reviewing the JL 500/1 amp and like limitkid7 stated the jl does close to 650wrms of clean power. i think that amp and the 12W7 will go well in a ported enclosure. the sub is a beast and would be much better with the 1000/1 amp but the 500/1 will push it cleanly in a ported enclosure since in a ported it would be much easier to move the sub then in a sealed enclosure. you can get a ported enclosure to sound just as good as a sealed enclosure. you re just going to have to get a custom enclosure from a reputable designer and builder. buying even a jl enclosure may not yield the results you re looking for. so i recommend keeping the amp and going with the 12W7, it will be louder then the 10" with equal or greater sq. in your setup i think the most important aspect if you go with ither the 10" or the 12" will be your enclosure it needs to be designed to get the most out of the sub in your particular vehicle. laters [/QUOTE]
