Robertj Unregistered guest | I want to get a 12W7 for my kicker 600.1 amp, but i don't know if it is worth me putting all that money into one sub? and my amp is a two ohm amp that means i need to get a 2ohm sub right, and if so do the jl 12w7s come in 2ohms. |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Post Number: 256 Registered: Dec-03 | there is not much stuff better than JL....cheaper alternatives almost as good, but nothing really can match JL especially for its price... zapco, mcintosh, us amps, xtant can match for quality but xtant is the only company that prices around JL adire, ED, ID, diamond, MMats, a/d/s are all cheaper alternatives to JL as far as subs |

Tim L.

Robert J Unregistered guest | so would a 10w7 work for the size amp i have. because i just want a better sub then the 12inch comp vr that i have, and i'm only at 300rms with that. any other subs that you guys can think of that will last and sound good, while giving me the full potintal of my amp |
|
Robert J Unregistered guest | and one more question, what is a good highist my rms should be on a sub when my amp is 600rms. |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Post Number: 265 Registered: Dec-03 | ok, i would say an elemental designs e12a.22 awesome 12 inch sub, about $300 - has 26mm xmax 1 way, which is also comparable to a 12w7 with 29mm xmax 1 way it handles 750w rms and 1500w max i believe, dual 2 ohm |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Post Number: 266 Registered: Dec-03 | hmm, well dual 2 ohm kinda sticks you in a spot, cuz you can only get 4 or 1 ohms out of that check out some dual 4 ohm subs or even get a pair of 4 ohm 300w rms subs www.edesignaudio.com |
