hey guys... you may remember me from a few weeks ago

looking to upgrade my system...

well i started... kinda out of nowhere my next door neighbor

was selling his

memphis 16-MC1000D amp for 250.00

i had ridden in the car with it hooked up to his JL 12" with

a capacitor and you could push it so hard that you couldnt

breathe in the car...

so i bought it... and hooked it up to my JBL speakers in a

sealed box...

now i know a guy whose offering me 2 JL W3's for 200.00

would the memphis, JL's in a sealed box sound good??? right

now i can totally tell my speakers are not handling this amp...

what about a capacitor...??? did i get a good price on the amp???

how about the subs???

thanks...

just make sure you have a 1 ohm load to get the max out of the amplifier. it should sound good, if the box is within the specs of the woofers.

make a ported box for whatever speakers you are getting. it might break some windows.

this is the thing you have;

* 1100 X 1 @ 1ohm Class D Subwoofer Amplifier

* Full MOSFET Design

* Built-In Fully Variable Low Pass Crossover

* 18dB Per Octave Crossover Slope

* Built In Fully Variable Sub-Sonic Filter

* Platinum Finish Wire Connections

* Accepts 4 Gauge Power and Ground Wire

* Wired Remote Gain Control Included

you want to hook the speakers into 1 ohm (to get 1100 watts ~550 per sub) and you will want them ported.

i dont know anything about JL subs really. but two RE 12" XXX's will POUND ported ~30hz and a few cubes with that amp i would imagine.
