I need a suggestion for 1 amp that will perfectly run the L5 12" Rms 600. It will be in about 3 cubes and be ported.

JBL 600.1 or US Acoustics 800 mono amp. There both 600 rms but the US Acoustics is rated at a lower input voltage so in a sense it will have more power then the JBl. It also is better quality so if you have the extra money get the US. ITs cheapest on thezeb.com

although i havent used a 600.1 i do have a 1200.1, and they are almost the same except for wattage of course. I highly recomend the for a "baller on a budget".

but he needs a subsonic filter and the JBL doesn´t have one...

any more suggestions

whats the function of a subsonic filter?

When using a ported enclosure you should have a subsonic filter to filter those really low frequencies, it actually can be safer for the subs. From waht i hear it also helps get rid of the whining noise of ported boxes.

so the 1200.1 doesnt have one? ide swear i have one, maybe im thinking about the HPF or something. ill have to check. But say i dont, is it not safe to go ported? That would piss me off....

you could try a profile CA1200 or CL1200. They are 600watts@4ohms, 300x2. those will give you good bang for the buck...pick em up for around 200-220 dependin on where you shop

A subsonic filter is a high-pass filter, but just for very low frequencies. And you can always get the 1200.1 and pick up an FMOD for whatever freq. you want if you use a ported box.....bad things will happen if you don't. The port will lose control of the sub at frequencies below what it is tuned to...

neither one of those Profile Amps have a Subsonic Filter.
