Recommend amp for JL 12w7
|
Bronze Member Username: Matt_ukPost Number: 15 Registered: May-07 | I have recently bought a JL 12w7 in a letterbox ported box. To get the best out of my w7 i would be willing to fork out the expences of a JL1000/1 but just wondering if anybody had any other suggestions on any other amps that would run the sub to a similar standard. Thanks |

But all the other W7's are svc 3 ohms. So you need an amp that will push 750wrms plus,at 3 ohms. Bridging a 2 channel may not work, cause most are only 4 ohm stable when bridged. If you can find a mono amp that does 850-1000wrms at 2 ohms, then it will put out about700-850 at 3 ohms, in thereoy and if its a quality amp. Simply solution 1000/1 |

Bronze Member Username: Matt_ukPost Number: 16 Registered: May-07 | would it still hit hard and sound quality be good even with a jl 500/1? |
