is the jl 500/1 enough power to push 2 10w6v2 to make it sound good. cause i know there rated at 400 watts rms. im going to get a sealed box. i want some deep bass. i want my car to be heard from down the block. any one had 2 10 w6 ran be a 500/1? is it worth payin the extra money to get the v2 amps or not cause the specs are the same. i can get the 500/1, 300/4 and 2 10w6v2 for $1020 is that a good price

Thanks

I would do more power. Better to have too big of an amp than too small.

If you want to be loud then w6's are not the way to go. They are great sounding drivers, not loud drivers.

Being heard from down the block = getting your stuff stolen.

I have the 500/1 powering a 12W3 and its got great power. 1000/1 would be better of course but the 500/1 has good power and adjustability. I havent had it very long but so far I'm very happy with it.

yea its enough power, for maybe one of those...i would push about 500 rms to each im sure they can handle it...just install the 500/1 and if your not happy sell it and get the 1000/1 or another 500/1
