Bronze Member Username: Vivi2000Post Number: 53 Registered: Aug-07 | Well Lanzar is not a great quality amp, which is why people probably said you should upgrade. For 4 JL W0 12's you would want an amp that does about 500 watts at 1 or 4 ohms. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19666 that would probably be a better amp than what you have. |

|
Bronze Member Username: Vivi2000Post Number: 54 Registered: Aug-07 | Also my recommendation was assuming they were 4 ohms. If they are 8 ohms you want something that does 500 at 2 ohms. |

Bronze Member Username: Evildoughboy08Toledo, OH US and A Post Number: 14 Registered: Jun-08 | yeah they are 4 ohms a piece. |

Bronze Member Username: Evildoughboy08Toledo, OH US and A Post Number: 15 Registered: Jun-08 | but i looked at that BXi608, and i would really prefer to upgrade to a monoblock. any suggestions? |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1691 Registered: May-07 | The hifonics is a mono amp. Are you saying you want to upgrade to a class D mono? Directed/Orion D1200 Diamond Audio D3 600.1 The JL 500/1, as someone else already mentioned, but is a bit pricey. |

Bronze Member Username: Evildoughboy08Toledo, OH US and A Post Number: 16 Registered: Jun-08 | well i think i could probably find someone around who could get a JL500 cheap.. of course its completely legal. but if i hook up that JL 500 would they bump decent? |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1694 Registered: May-07 | Ya, it would give each sub its rated RMS. I know someone who gave a pair of them 220w and it pushed them nicely. |

Bronze Member Username: Evildoughboy08Toledo, OH US and A Post Number: 17 Registered: Jun-08 | k thats good. these subs are rediculous to guess on how much power to give them. they say they handle 125 RMS max out at 300, yet everyone says give them like 5 or 600 max and let them run at like 240 or something. also i posted something a few days ago idk if anyone here answered to it, but my big brother just oferred to trade me his 15" L5 for all my 12s. would that be a good deal?? both are gonna be in the box for the trade |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1697 Registered: May-07 | I don't think thats a good deal. If I had to choose between the two I would take your JL's. How much were you looking to spend on an amp? |

Bronze Member Username: Evildoughboy08Toledo, OH US and A Post Number: 26 Registered: Jun-08 | i want the JL500/1 baaaaaad, but i dont want to spend 400 bucks in the store for one, i'd rather get one off the streets. im willing to spend between 2 to 250 |
