[QUOTE="Frraksurred, post: 86691, member: 544871"] The 10" Solobaric L5's are rated at 450w RMS, 900w max.... a JBL 1200.1 pushes 1200w RMS. You run that much wattage to those subs and you'll fry your VC's. I would run your Audiobahn bridged to 2-10"'s wired in parallel (making sure you run the SAME mono signal to BOTH the spkr's VC's). That will send about 600w to them. The key thing is to make sure the [URL="http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm"]gain[/URL] on your amp is set correctly. If it's too high and you push your system regularly (who doesn't), then that too may eventually harm your VC's. If your gain is set correctly the extra wattage will not hurt them, (it will actually help as I understand it) and you will preserve your VC's (and save some money). Hope that answers your question. If not let us know. Most of these peeps on this board are considerably more knowledgeable then I.
