JBL bp600.1 on the net for less than $200. Check my sig, if I had room, I would add a third 10w0 (still 200 watts each).

If you go for an JBL the box would have to sealed due JBL amps dont have sub sonic filter .

How do i wire three of these subs to a monop amp?

 

[Durex 10+ year member]

well if he had a eq or crossover he could go ported, most have subsonic a filter

Well its matter of what OHM load you wanna run them at. JLAUDIO website has the wireing config for all there sub i believe

If the subs are 4 ohm, connect all three positives to one pos. terminal, and all three negatives to one neg. terminal. Two sets are provided on the amp for ease of installation. By doing this, you would have a 1.33 ohm load. The JBL 600.1 does 600 watts rmsx1 at 2 or 1 ohm. That would give you roughly 200 per sub (I know they are rated only for 125, but I am running 300 and they sound great). Hope this helps.

Well for every day use you should go over ther rms that they recmend. But that up to you. If you go for the JL 300.2 that give the all little over 100 each and that would be better for ever day use.

Not to knock the JL amps, but I don't think they are stable below something like 2 ohms. Does anyone know? You won't find too many amps that are stable at 2 ohmsx1 channel, the JBL is stable down to 1 ohm.

they are stable down to 1.5 ohm's. in some configs like if the 300.2 is run in two ch and 3-8 ohm to one ch. The 500.1 is 1.5 - 4 ohms stable.
