hey guys, i recently got this JL amp for christmas to replace my old power akoustic amp and i was wondering wht subs i should get that would go well with it, im currently running two low end kicker 10 inch subs and i want to upgrade for a cleaner deeper bass to go with the new amp. any ideas?and what is the difference between 2 OHMs and 4 OHMs? and which would i need for this amp? thanks in advance!

 

That seems right in the wheel house for 2 10" JL W3's.

 

and whats the difference between 2 ohms or 4 ohms? im new to all this stuff lol

 

I think the less ohm means less resistance and more power to speaker. The speaker and amp need to be rated to handle the ohm rating.

 

What is this going in? Crew cab? Single cab? Extended cab? Are you planning on using the same box you have your current speakers in?

 

its a crew cab, and im planning on using the same box, its under the back seat fiiring down.

 

What size is the amp?
I've got a 500/1 jl amp power 2 little bitty 10" jl audio w1s!
I would never look back. As hard as these shallow subs hit, I would never want w3s lol. They'd vibrate my truck apart.
Just don't cheap out on wire. I had vision audio do mine and it totally sucked. A buddy of mine replaced all the wire with good quality thick wire and tuned it.
It made a HUGE difference ! I keep my bass about quarter way turned up and it's plenty for me.
Just my .02$

 

Take some measurements to find how many qubic feet of airspace your box is, and find the subs that require that amount of air space and fit in the box and are rated at the same ohm as the amp. You will be pleasantly surprised what a speaker in a correctly sized box will do. You can't go wrong with jl amps or subs.

 

Digital designs ftw!!!

 

i wish websites that sold audio equipment let you filter down your subwoofers that way. the box i'm looking at has .88 CF and i have never seen a filter by recomended CF range.
