[QUOTE="Polariford, post: 8361694, member: 656269"] I bought titled sub at Amazon. It is the V1 400 watt RMS as far as I know. I have it presently in a Life After Bass "Slapbox" specific to the sub. I have a class D Fosgate P300-1 with a birthsheet of 426 RMS @ 2 ohm to this sub. A pretty good match and it sounds amazing. I just purchased a Fosgate R500X1D also a D amp rated at 500 RMS at same load for a different vehicle for a pair of 8W3v3-4 subs in their own version of a LAB "Slapbox" . This amp will probably will be more like 640ish on birthsheet so probably a bit much for JL's but I couldn't pass up $150 shipped with a 2 year extended warranty. Would I benefit by using the stronger amp with an extra 200 watts instead on the Sundown sub or is it too much? I have heard they can and like a little more than they are rated for. I feel better putting the P300-1 on the JL's wired to 2 ohm anyway. I gain my amps with a DMM and an oscilloscope so I try to be as clean as possible.
