[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8659498, member: 614752"] Might sound better for home theater application. Home theater subs (generally) are designed totally different than the stuff we have in cars. They are typically far more efficient but like a much bigger box. Modern car audio woofers sacrifice efficiency for being able to perform well in small box, and all things being equal a properly engineered car audio sub is built around the idea that it'll be played in a car and not a large room (ideally effecting actual real-world response). Nothing wrong with throwing a 1000W sub on a 100W amp, and <80hz you might not even notice a difference at all but it will probably be inefficient and may not perform as well in your living room as in your trunk. IMO for the price of a 12V power supply that'll really handle a 1000W car amp properly you could just buy a plate amp at PartsExpress, and for 150$ you can buy a Dayton Reference 12" there that'll probably outperform your JL sub in every way for home theater application.
