Silver Member Username: Davids2004Houston, TX USA Post Number: 447 Registered: Jun-04 | Yes one will run at 3 ohms and two will run at 1.5 or 6 ohms. I assume since you said visoniks you are meaning a pair. Correct me if im wrong though. http://jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html#2dvcsp |

Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 12 Registered: Jul-04 | ah, I see, didn't think about the bridged output cutting the 3 ohms in half, what do those amps run cost wise by chance |

Silver Member Username: Davids2004Houston, TX USA Post Number: 448 Registered: Jun-04 | Check out ebay but I believe the jbl 1200.1 will be around 300.00 and the kicker a little more. Defintely under 400.00 though. |

Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 14 Registered: Jul-04 | like the sound of that, I do have a hook up for a monoblock 800 watt amp, 2 ohm stable, for 200 bucks, think that will do the job ok? |

Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Hfl, Ny Usa Post Number: 926 Registered: Dec-03 | wait...r u running just 1 sub or two? |
|
Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 15 Registered: Jul-04 | 2 subs |
|
Silver Member Username: Davids2004Houston, TX USA Post Number: 449 Registered: Jun-04 | No becasue that amp wont be stable down to 1.5 ohms so its not gonna work. You will get no power out of that amp at 6 ohms either. Here you go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64573&item=5712130398&rd= 1 (only 200.00 BIN. Thats a heck of a price) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item=5711880153&rd= 1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item=5711697172&rd= 1&ssPageName=WDVW (older model of above one but all the same specs 345.00 shipped. Pretty good deal also) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item=5712215569&rd= 1&ssPageName=WDVW (real good prices on this one. 225.00 shipped) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18797&item=5712122225&rd= 1 If you have the money I would go with either the memphis amp I first listed or the jbl 1200.1 since they are pretty cheap right now. |

Bronze Member Username: BoopersLima, Ohio United states Post Number: 16 Registered: Jul-04 | weird, the guy is selling the amp is also the guy I'm buying the speakers from, said it'd work with those subs, ever heard of the Shocker speaker? He's the guy that builds them. |
