WC Unregistered guest | I've heard that it is better to overpower your subs than to underpower them, is this true, and how much should you overpower them, I am thinking of overpowering mine by 100 RMS more. |

UCF_Shawn Unregistered guest | If you plan on overpowering subs, this will allow you to listen to them at a lower volume that will extend the life of the amp/subs. I would only overpower quality subs though. But if you do go to like 75% and above on the volume, yea, expect to damage them. |

Jason Nixon Unregistered guest | Do you know how much power i should put to 2 JL 12w3v2 subs. Im not sure what amp i should get and how many watts it should have. Any recommendation on the amps? |
|
WC Unregistered guest | SO yes overpowering them is not that bad of an idea, plus this amp has a remote bass control. |
