ported and non ported

How would the subs sound if i had 2 jl 13v6s ported and 2 13v6s non ported run by 2 1000/1 amps.Would i get sq and spl both when you listen to it.

typically, you would get a flatter frequency response sealed. But I would rather get a low tuned ported box. All of the SQ, 2x the output. Also, with a ported enclosure, you could easily get away with running just one amp rather than two.

so i could run 1 1000/1 to 4 of the 13's in a ported box. will 1 1000/1 drive 4 13's and sound really good.

I think SS did not see that you are running 2 pairs of subs... For four of those babies, I would run both amps regardless. Also, having 2 seperate boxes, both tuned differently, or one sealed and one ported, would not sound all that good... If you have room, wall them off.

wait... I just understood what your saying. You have 4 of these subs, and you want to run 2 sealed, and 2 ported. Not a good idea. If you can make the room, port all 4 and run them off two amps. If you dont have the room, seal them all, I guaruntee you it will still be loud.

Im debating weather to buy 1 more 1000/1 .Im running out off cash.will the amp still drive 4 13's in a ported box and bump hard and just buy the other amp on down the road.

Just one amp, you are cutting it, but it should drive them. And with four of them, in the right box, it should be loud regardless.

hell 1 of those amps will run all 4 subs nicely, let alone two. I think your underestimating the power of 1000 watts. 3 1000/1's are overkill for your subs and electrical system.

do the 1000/1 put out more than 1000 watts.

 

[SSS 18734 5,000+ posts]

yes. I believe many have been benched around 1200-1300. As long as you provide them with a good electrical source, it should easily put out over 1000 watts

I think he has one right now, and is comteplating getting a second.

i keep getting confused. if you have one, just use it. I dont think it would be worth the extra $500 to add another.
