Question!!!!

[sickpro5]

Forgive me for this question but im not up to par with my car audio knowledge. Anyhow which of these would give me a better set up, JL Audio 12W3v2-D2 or the JL Audio 12W3v2-D4 with the JL Audio 1000/1 amp. I know I want that amp but im not sure which sub I would get the best results from as far as the ohm's are concerned. Thanks for the help guys..

i think the JL amps are regulated to put out the same amount of power at 4 ohm as they do at 2 ohm so it probably doesnt matter

i could be wrong though

The less resistance you have (ohms) the more power you can run. You really have to match it up to the amp.

So your sayin that the JL Audio 12W3v2-D2 would be better for me in this case.

if you are only running one 12w3 i would think the 1000/1 is over kill... if you are set on a 1000/1 i would look into a pair of w6, or a w7.... and yes the 1000/1 has the jl system that puts the same power to 2-8ohms.... (i think thats the range??)

yes that would be overkill...but it would be a pair of 12's not just one...

The JL amp puts out the same power from 1.5-4 ohms. Yes that is overkill.

well i looked online a bit and i think im going with the JL Audio 12W6v2<pair of these> with the JL Audio 1000/1 amp...im thinkin i would get a loud enough sound to get my wife mad at me and also get the quality that im looking for.


That is a pair of those btw

you will get enough sound to get the whole neighborhood mad as you

haha even better....since when is it bad to have a few neighbors that dont like you.

Although JL rates there amps as even from 1.5-4 ohms, they really do not work that way. With a dead (non reactive) load like a reistor they do produce power as specified. However, when you hook them up to a speaker that is not a set resistacne as it plays, the JL actualy produce more power at lower impedances. The difference just isn't as dramatic as most amplifiers.

A single 12W3 is a massive waste of a JL 1000/1, a 12w6 is a better choice. I would also suggest 2 8W7s

A single 12W3 is a massive waste of a JL 1000/1,

agreed, this is why im getting 2 12w6's and the 1000/1 amp which i seen you had on sale a lil while back, im kinda upset i missed that sale but oh well.
