I think my jl xd600/1 isnt strong enough.

[i7x]

I have two 10" w3v3 SVC subs wired to a xd 600/1 amp @ 4 ohms. According to the jl charts that means im getting 400 watts when the vehicles producing a higher amount of volts. So this means 200watts to each sub. My subs can handle 500 watts rms each.

If this is correct this means my amp is no where near bringing my subs to their full potential. So should i look for a stronger amp?

Just thinking now. can i confirm this first:

i have these subs:

HO210G-W3v3 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Systems - H.O. Wedge

i have this amp:

XD600/1 - Car Audio - Amplifiers - XD - JL Audio

Im pretty sure they are wired at 2 ohms. if they are than im only sending about 600watts rms to my subs which would definately not be enough power. for my 1000rms subs

any good 2 channel 1000 watt amps out there?

Find a good mono amp that does a 1k at 2 ohms.

Think i will get a noticeable difference if i add 400 watts? Because right now i can turn everything up to max, bass and volume, and drive around perfectly fine.

What kind of box are you using?

Yes, proper box and more power would be ideal. Then you are not "maxxing" out everything to get full volume.

I would look for a 2500 watt rms at 1 ohm mono amp. Wire the subs to 2 ohm. that should give you a lil head room.
