Watch y'all think about the type x subs

the jl would be just fine.....but!, for a little head room, id go for more power, but tthat enclosure isn't gonna show off the full potential of the sub.....upgrade the amp if u can afford it....otherwise u will be just fine

money isnt the problem its space i can barly fit the 500 in there now

Just because an amp is able to push 1200 watts at 14.4 volts does not mean that the sub will be recieving that power constantly. With moderate volume, impedance spikes, and voltage drops, youd be lucky to see 900 watts.

haha noticing i had 2 of em gettin exactly 850watts (tested and dmmed) 850 clean watts rms....to each...and they could barely take it in a sealed custom box from xtreme audio...yea jsut because it says 1000rms watts 3000peak doesnt mean it can actually take it ....audiobahn for example....they overate their equpment. So basically u dont know what ur tlkin about and i do!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif they cannot take 1200 wantts rms of actual power daily...let alone 1300 watts rms clean power

That box must have had a bad leak. A type x can take that wattage, even if you dont know to do it halfway

fosgate u would prob notice a bigger diffrence if you made a new box insted of gettin a new amp............cheaper 2

well it says recomended ported volume or a box is 1.9 cubes the box is 2.25 once the sub it in there that equals about 1.9 or so so it would be about what recomended
