[QUOTE="Leeiswho2b, post: 1481080, member: 566054"] I am running 3 JL 12W3v2 dvc 6 in with a Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 @ 1 ohm. From what I found, they should be running optimal with around 250 watts rms. I am pushing them running 1200 watts with subs wired in parallel. Is this too much power for these subs to handle? They sound decent, but I expected more out of them, but then again they are in a 94 Caprice with a sealed pre fab box in the trunk separated with 1.26 cubes of air space each. I had 3 12w0's 8 ohms running off of a Alpine V12 1507, and they had way better SPL, but then again I was bumping in a Jimmy then. Second question, is there anyway to get more SPL outta this car with this setup? Thought about portholes the back dash, but didn't know if it would do much good. I want it to rattle your eyes, feel like your heart is fluttering, and vibrate every hair on your body. HAHAHA!!!! I feel they should atleast be pushing 140+ db, but just doesn't seem like they are. Just a bit aggravating to say the least for me to have $2500+ in these components and not have the results I was expecting. All suggestions are welcomed.
