whats up guys?! i need a little help selecting the right amplifier for the car. i plan on running a jl audio 12" w7. what would be the best amp to pair up with this to get the best sound aside from the jl audio line up. all opinions and suggestions welcome and are appreciated. thanx guys

 

i dont know too much about the JL line up but I have heard the 500/1 and its got some serious power

 

"Best" is subjective. I would say to read some reviews online and on here and find something that suits your needs and budget. If all you need is a mono sub amp then look for one. Every persons likes and perceptions of quality in both sound and build are going to be different. I would suggest researching first and then asking on here what people think if what you think you may want to buy.

 

That's the amp i was going to recommend but he said "aside from the jl lineup".

 

id get an old school JBL monoblock amp

 

sometype of a monoblock class d amp... Alpine, Kicker, Mtx are all pretty decent... prob find like a 500-750 rms amp

 

Get the kicker 1200d or the crossfire 1000d. I know this stuff like the back of my hand. Two time texas state champ 2004-2006 USACI SPL.

 

Go with either Jl Audio 500/1 or Arc 1500dr. I have both, but am currently running the 500/1 in my evo with a single 12w7. Trust me that amp in enough!!! It will make your heart stop!!! Seriouly Plus its a Class D which is very efficient, compact and less strain on your electrical system. If you were local I would give you a demo

 

Alpine has a new amp that is powerful, and small... I have a 12w7 and a 1000/1, (also 450/4) and am considering selling for the new alpine line up. the new amps are sweet, PLUS small. (lighter) PDX 1000.1, thats the model #- check out crutchfield online!!

 

I currently have a rockford bd1000 on a JL15w3 in the evo in a tuned box. Its kinda hard to get good sound out of a trunk car.

 

I have a 500/1 hooked up to a diamond D6/10, seems like the amp is a bit much for the sub but it is the loudest single 10 inch sub I have heard so far

 

I have an Alpine Type-X SWX-1042D 10" Dual 4-ohm (500 WRMS per coil) on a vented box driven by a MB Quart QAA1000 (1000 WRMS@2 ohms), what a killer combination! I tried a 600W RMS Class-D Alpine amp but it barely moved the sub, so I upgraded it to the MB Quart. I'd suggest that you listen to some amps before buying.

 

You could get two seperate amps for each sub if you really need to. You could put a 500 on each speaker. A w7 should be able to handle it.
