I bought a Kenwood amp this other day its a 600 Watt amp i was just wondering will it lift my Subs my subs are 2 12" 12w6's JL Audio's ....just wanted to know if it would or should i get a bigger amp??? any help will help

Thanks in advance

Danny,

 

LOL you are tryin to power two 12" W6's off maybe 300watts RMS? That 600watt rating that's on the case is peak power.

Each sub is good for around 450-500 RMS. My 12W3v2 is running off a JL 500/1 amp and that sucker pounds.

What's your budget? $400-600? If so get you a used 1000/1 JL amp. 1000 watts RMS and will pound the hell out of those W6s. At least step up to a 500watt RMS amp. As of now they are no where near their potential.

Those mono channel only amps carry Class D circuitry meaning they draw less amperage than a Class AB as their accoustal (sp?) range is very specific.

If you get a JL amp set the Isafronic filter ~23Hz and the lowpass around 80-100Hz depending on your sound likings and other drivers in the setup. If you like bass gain do it around 45Hz. I think Q needs to be around 1-1.4 on the Bass Boost. Um...that's all I can think of now.

 

You might consider a more powerful amp to power those subs. Try a Pheonix Gold Tantrum 12000. This is only about $500 and shouod power your subs wehll.

 

well ima try it out if it does lift them then ill stay with it i had a friend who had these same subs and he had a 500Watt amp and it did sound good!!!my next problem is to get the subs to fit on these boxes i made myself!!
