Problem with shiva hook up

[joesf 10+ year member]

I really wanted to get some adire shiva 12" DVC subwoofers and someone told me that a JBL 600.1 amp would push them perfectly could someone explain to me how a 600 watt amp is supposed to supply enough power to these two subs they also told me that 300 or 350 was a good wattage for these subs could someone tell me if this person is just trying to sound smart or what I really would like to get a pair of these subs but I want the right amp to push them thanks

if anyone has any illustrated pictures of how to hook up the wires I would greatly appreciate it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif

Depending on the enclosure size, you can give them less than 200w and be fine. I have mine in a HT setup being feed 175w in a 5 cubic ft box tuned to 16Hz. Just for fun, I put it in a '88 Suburban once and it got plenty loud...not enough for a competition but loud compared to most single 12" setups here.

well as far as i know the shivas are dvc 8 ohm subs...so if you have two subs...or 4 voice coils then the final load you'll be looking at would be either 2 or 8...then the load becomes way to high to power it right....but the jbl does 600 watts rms at 2 ohms .. the shivas should like 300 watts apiece very nicely

a jbl 600 would be perfect for shivas giving em 300+ watts a peice. Whats ur question?
