sorry for asking this...

i have a friend that wants me to pick him out a system

needs

HU

amps

subs

soo

he has $2000

i have him getting 2 12" XXX's - $600+shipping

and i need to figure out the amps

what amps should I get and how many ohms are these things going to be wired to?

I told him two 1200.1 JBL's..would that work or not??

thanks

 
where can i get 2 jl 1000.1 for $1000? I know our local sells them for about $1000 a PIECE! Online i'm quite wary..cause I know JL HATES online retailers..so I dont know if its safe, because I dont want something going wrong and the online bastards not replacing it or anyhting..cause i cant send it to jl because they will be *****es about the online retailer thing.

 
I don´t know if the XXX are like the brahma that if you give them the rigth box they need much less power that the rated to get the max excursion, because if they do, you can make a fairly big box and with just one amp with 1500 watts you can be done like the one listed in the PG thread.. the Phoenix Gold Octane-R R15.0:1 $384.99 would be good

but if you want to give them close to the 1600rms rated power then the Phoenix Gold Octane-R R30.0:1 (3000rms at 2 ohms) would do pretty good for 619.99

PG is a good brand, don´t know about those lines of amp but i think they would be good too.. and cheap...

also look at the size of the alt because 2 amp migth be too much for the alt....

good luck!

 
You won't need all 1600 watts to hit the x-max, I can in a 3 cubic foot sealed box of a jbl 1200.1 w/my 15" XXX. You could get two 1200.1's, but you'd need a 200 amp alt.
