By 1.5 are you already assuming parallel wiring for a total impedance of 1.5 ohms? For the past several years the Hifonics amps have been testing at a little less than rated power, so until there's evidence proving otherwise that's a safe assumption IMO. So being rated at 2000w at 1 ohm, and 1300 at 2 ohms that would amount to 1650 (rated) at 1.5 ohms. Which means 1200-1400 actual. That's plenty of power to get a pair of w7's sounding very good, but the pair of JL's at an under rated 1000w each will get you slightly more output. It would be a measurable difference, but not a significance to the ear. The bigger HF's -- 2608 and 2706 will get your roughly the same output as the two JL's. Sound quality really isn't an issue. |

Unless you have a ton of it, OR this is a show-type setup or you plan to have it for MANY years. |

New member Username: Me123456Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-08 | the specs say the Nominal Impedance for the w7 is dual 1.5 ohms thats what i was going off of and i plan on having it for a while not just for show. i have the money to get either but if i can save money by gettin just one hifoincs i was goona do that but i do rather get the 2 JL's and rather they be a little under powered then over powered so should i just get the two JL's? |
