I want 1500 rms @ 3 ohms.

[Mythirdgen 10+ year member]

I have a JL 13w7. I have a JL 1000/1 hooked up but the pos and neg terminals melted together. JL wants 180 to fix it or replace it but I figured I'd just upgrade since its the v1. I want to get the full potential out of the sub with its suggested 1500rms. I know that JL says the 1000/1 is optimal but that kinda goes against the 13w7 having a 1500 watt rms doesn't it? I would say that money is no object but then I'll be seeing people post $5000 amps. I sure don't want some Boss or any of that garbage either. 1500w @ 3 ohms. Help? Oh. And no I will not wire it to .75 like I see so many people putting on here. I want nice power but I'm not doing comps.

is it dual 1.5? oh and .75 really is the best way to go, it will be over 1 ohm after rise. your gonna spend big bucks on 1500w at 3 ohm

it wont take the 1500w :S but optimal your best bet is to try and find more power at 2ohms and go from there. finding optimal power rated at 3 ohms wont be easy, unless if you wanna see if rockford still makes the t1500.1bdcp

JBL is gonna get you the closet at the lowest price

I have a Boston gt28 and jbl gto1201.1 that would be pretty close

Yes it is DVC 1.5 I don't mind spending the money on a good amp.

Won't take 1500? It's 1500rms with peak 3000. I have heard that some guys are stacking 2 jl 1000/1v2 and its fine. I just don't want to over do it.

PG Zenon 1200.1 should do close to that, more if you do the mod

I'm seeing 3600 @ 2 ohm and 1800 @ 4 ohm

That means about 2400 @ 3 ohm right?

Isn't that overkill?

I like the looks of that the best so far. I've heard that PG amps have gone downhill in the last 10 years. Ever heard anything like that? I used to have 4 of the M series in my camaro.

not really, if you can find one it will be use since the xenon line was discontinued, but i see them go from 300-450ish all day

will do power 1-4ohms and can be modded to make 2k if needed
