[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8796122, member: 682903"] The separate matching 12” subs are fine assuming you can fit them and position them well, this may be hard if they are large boxes. They will technically work fine if positioned correctly (which is where a problem may come in). I would not run the two different amps. It’s not bad stuff, but I’d consider trying to sell locally and get some matching 12’s, in a proper box that fits your application, should be able to find some nice ones with the money you get for the JL subs, same for the amps. Of course selling second hand subs / amps can be a real loss if you bought new. You can obviously install it all and you might be totally happy with it, the subs being in their own enclosures means you won’t damage anything if the amps do not match their power levels very well. Worst is maybe phase and or cancellation issues hurting performance. I personally wouldn’t run it like that. I like JL Audio, but you can get more for your money with other brands. If you bought those subs new, that's $1000, and you can get a lot beefier subs for that kind of money. However, if you already own the stuff, it doesn't hurt trying it I guess. Just my thoughts on it, others can add their input or recommendations. [/QUOTE]
