[QUOTE="Tim_in_NC, post: 6956933, member: 576515"] Hi all ... I'm going to add 2 JL Audio 12w3v3 Subs to the trunk on my daily driver ... I'll be powering them with an amp that's been sitting around for several years and hasn't seen any action as of yet ... The amp is a Rockford Fosgate Punch 150 (25 to Life Version) ... Birth Sheet reads a little over 300 RMS Watts x 2 @ 4 ohms ... But the amp is also capable of higher RMS output x 2 @ 2 ohms ... So my Questions are: Wouldn't 4 ohm 12w3v3's been enough ... do I really need the 2 ohm load JL's ??? I'm thinking 300 is their sweet spot ... Also, I'm not looking for the DB record or any of that jazz ... I just want nice clean, tight bass that can get loud if needed ... The music that I listen to includes: Rock, Pop, Jazz, an Occasional R&B/Rap Song ... oh yea ... sometimes country as well ... So, next Question ... Should I go with a Sealed Box or Ported Box Based on Amp using, Bass that I enjoy, music style and going in a truck of a car ... Thanks, TIM [/QUOTE]
