amp for subs

[cllueless]

what would be a good amp for 2 jl 12w0 - 8... spl ;)

[Weapon_R]

wrong subs for SPL

A JL 250/1 is a nice amp, although you could use almost any amplifier around 250watts

[cllueless]

would a Profile AP1200 work good to power both the 12s?

[Weapon_R]

Yes it should be fine.

[cllueless]

and i would just put 200watts into each sub with the Profile AP1200..? or would it be better to get a 4 channel amp and bridge like the Profile AP1040

[Weapon_R]

If you haven't bought the amp yet, give us your budget. I guarantee that we can find a better amp for the money.

[cllueless]

i dont want to spend more than 300 on the amp

[hondarunner]

i have a buddy with an alpine mrd-m300 that was used to power the exact same subs and sounded amazing.
PM me if you are interested and we can work out a deal

For 300 you could get a lot....

that would be one of the best buys around.

it's almost 4 watts per dollar!

if you don't need that much power.


Do you have your subs already?

[cllueless]

yup i have them

[cllueless]

which would be better? a 2 channel amp or a 4 channel and bridged?

[npham]

A two channel is not better than a 4 channel, there's not difference besides the different wiring options. Although some 4 channels are not able to run 1 ohm.

Just get an amp that has enough power for your subs. You can use a mono block, 2 channel, 4 channel or any combination of them to power your subs.
