what do yall think about this setup

[fred96 10+ year member]

Amp: 1 JL Audio 250/1

Subs: 2 JL Audio 13W1

JL rates the subs at about 175 watts a peace for best reliability and long lasting

but the guy at my local radio shop said that JL extremely underated these subs and they can handle way more

he also said there was a guy that just got the same speakers put in with a 1000 watts and they sound great and handle the power good

i am not real sure about all that but i did figure they underated them by alot so i figured about 250 watts a peace would work fine

what do yall think?

One amp that does 250W into a single channel -----> Two subs.

See an issue?

250/2 subs = 125 each

Get the 500/1 if you want 250W per driver.

if you have a gallon of milk and two cups, each cup isnt going to get a full gallon of milk, it will get half the gallon... same scenario goes for amp power.

250 total and two subs = 125 for each sub

now, is your cup half empty or half full
