W12GTi looks badass compared to the two crappy 12''s that's been sitting in my garage for the past 4 years

i wanna get a jbl gti but the 3/12 ohms thing is killing me =[

What's the big deal about 3 ohms? Get a 2 ohm stable amp and then don't worry about it. In fact after impedance rise they will probably end up showing the amp somewhere over 4 ohms meaning that pretty much any amp will do. Imagine that, a company knowing what they were doing when they designed something...

yea well an amp pushing a lot of power at 3 - 4 ohms is usually a lot more money than one doing it at 1 ohm

You don't need a lot of power for one either...

how much can these take daily?

 

[helotaxi 5,000+ posts]

What they can take and what they need are two totally different things.

jbl has done a great job with the power rating to me. (only if you purchase there amps to go with there subs) i can see the gripe about the 3ohm load when running one sub. but running 2 subs wil give a 1.5 load anyway, if you go that route. jbl has something call

efficiency-

1. the state or quality of being efficient; competency in performance.

2. accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort: The assembly line increased industry's efficiency.

3. the ratio of the work done or energy developed by a machine, engine, etc., to the energy supplied to it, usually expressed as a percentage

dont laugh, but name one car audio company that does this to its best?

JBL.

i run these subs, and for the price i see them for on ebay, they are truly a winner and takes loads of power.

^^^that is one of the lamest posts that I've seen on this board. And that's saying something.

Because they can be wired to a 1.5ohm load (which the amp will never see because of impedance rise) they are magically efficient? Pass the doobie on, you've had enough.

There is nothing cosmic about a 3 ohm impedance. If anything it's easier to power because after impedance rise it should be closer to 4 ohms than a nominal 4 ohm drive is.

fart head did you read what amp he has? thats why i said 1.5 ohm load. go back to sleep.

they are efficient if you are running a multiple subs. like i said go back to sleep.

They are no more efficient than any other sub. Watts in vs. SPL out. They're not magical. I don't care what amp he has.

As far as the sleep thing...I'm not currently in Vegas...or the Western Hemisphere. I was posting during the day where I am...

he is porting the box to have efficiency, and tell me how they are not more efficient than any other sub? please explain? you have that many posts and dont know crap!!!!!!
