I couldnt really find power specs on that page. A lot of numbers, but I didnt see any power numbers. Would the JBL 600.1 run 2 of these subs?

It's 650 watts max. That would be fine but it won't be as loud as a more powerful amp, especialy for two of those.

bootleg. i am realllly thinkin bout getting 1 12" shiva. i see you got one. What are you opinions on it? anything better for the price? any recommendations on an amp to run it on?

Really no need to say 12" Shiva. In Adire Audio terms "Shiva" means it's 12". The other sizes have names too. The Brahma is seperate from that series. Just wanted to point that out if you hadn't already figured it out. I just thought it was cool to give each driver size its own name.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

its 375 RMS per coil

since their are two coils, it would be 750 watts RMS

ohh ****, i never realized that....thanx..=)

can you suggest an amp under 200 bucks that would push the shiva nicely??

 

[bootleg 10+ year member]

Guys, the shiva is 650 watts max, look at the site, it says Pmax 375 a coil, 650 total to the driver(wired in parellel). And yeah, I love my shiva, howver I spent over three weeks stipulating and designing my box/center console (pics soon to come) so make sure you par attention to that.

Under $200? That's gonna be very hard, if wired in parallel the Shiva presents a 4 ohm load, I don't know of any amps under $200 that actually push 600 or near 600 rms. You can get the JBL BP1200.1 for around $290 shipped, that will push your Shiva extremely well.

Yeah it does for me, I would recomend it to anyone who's bass-impaired. http://www.ikesound.com has it for $285 with free shipping. Took about 5 days to get here for me. *ORDER ON OR BEFORE THURSDAYS*
