Hey my shop is about to do an install in a Alero with a single 12 Shiva.

The buyer is slightly concerned that the Shiva wont last his target of 3 years.

I told him it definatly should as long as he never plays gain master and takes physical care of it.

Does anyone have any oppinons on their quality?

Also anyone suggest and amp

They should hold up perfectly fine, as long as he is careful with it. The same thing goes for everything else.

If he somehow does damage it, well, at least its only a $125 investement...opposed to say a Brahma.

Send that Shiva around 300-600 watts...it really doesnt matter. It wont get any louder after ~400 watts. 1.5 cubes sealed, with 24ozs of polyfill

He's looking at JBL 600.1 or a 180.2

since You said it doesnt get any louder after 400 watts

the 180.2 rms's bridged at 360

what do you say

i'd prob go about 1.5

Remember, the Shiva's are dual 8 ohm...

The 600.1 is a good match for a Shiva.

Go 1.5 sealed, 24 ozs of polyfill...he'll love it.

1.25-1.5...doesnt really matter. Somewhere in there. Polyfill lowers the Fs, and we all want that lower end
