Need amp reccomendation for some JLW3v2 D4

[Motley 10+ year member]

I was thinking about getting either the MTX MX6001 or the JL 500/1 amp for my two 10" JLs.

My JL's are 4ohms wired in Series.

I appriciate any insight from the experts?

you will need a mono amp that does 600 watts at 1 ohm , I believe the mtx does 600 at 2 ohms , so that would not be a good choice , the jl does 500 at 1.5 ohms , so that wouldnt be good either . try to find a jbl 600.1 that would be good or any other that does 600x1@1ohm .

OK, i'm confused. On JL's website, it shows that when the JLW3v2 D4 wired in Series/Parallel, they run at 4ohms.

Shouldn't I need an amp that runs 4ohms?, ..or where does the 1ohm come from??

two dvc 4ohm subs can either be wired for a 1 ohm or 4ohm load . wiring them to a 1 ohm load would be the better choice . check out the diamond audio d3600.1

check out the zed audio minilith. it might be a little more expensive than some of the other amps but the quality is top notch and they are built here in the US. http://www.zedaudio.com

i would also consider the rockford t3002, p5002, or p6002. the t3002 is very underrated so dont let the 2x50 rating fool you.

Um 600watts ITS NOT ENUF 4 2 JL10W3'S...1000watts is good if u really want to get the most out of those subs.....i got a vid of my one 10w3 with 600watts on it and it love it....
