So i was thinkin of either a 12 or 13 w7 but i don't know how the 13 would work w/ that amp and if either of them buy themselves would louder than my 2 15's. So then i was thinkin the w7's are so expensive i could get 3 12w3v2's and that should be the loudest of all those possibilities. tell me what you guys think thanx |

That amp would produce 667 watts with one w7 or 750 watts with 3 12w3v2-d4's. In this case those 3 w3's would probably provide more output than even one 13w7. If you want 1000 watts two 4 ohm, dual 2 ohm, or dual 8 ohm subs would be the way to go, although if you have the space I think those 3 w3's in a fair size ported enclosure tuned low would crank and sound really nice as well. Make sure you have enough space tho. If you're not set on JL take a look at the new Brahmas. http://www.adireaudio.com/Mobile/BrahmaSeries.htm They would do well with 500 watts each. -Fishy |
