I'm at work and I need to go so pm me if you need more info on anything.

 

does the ti800.1 have a good reputation? or is it middle class? maybe i bought mediocre amps... the guy at the stereo shop said this amp was better than an alpine.... is this true too or could he just make more money off me on the phoenix gold? or maybe i just have the wrong woofers?

 

aaaaaalrighty then... talk to ya in a bit.

 

Hey man, you can't go wrong with JL. Like Sentinal said, the W3 subs are a great line of subs, because they are very versatile and don't need loads of power. I had 2 JL 12W3 in my last car, and I'm installing 2 JL 10W3 in the Evo as we speak.....er, as we type.....I too have had many different subwoofers from Alpine and JBL to Infinity, Kicker, MTX and now JL. Nothing I've ever owned has sounded as good as the JL subs. If you've got an amp in the 1000w+ power range, look into the JLw7. Those things hit nasty hard, but they do need a lot of power.

As for your amp, I wouldn't get the Alpine amp. I would go with the Phoenix Gold over that one any day. Otherwise, get JL amps.

 

try Alpine Type-R 12" dual 4ohms. I'm drving it w/ 600rms - it's clean, fast and hits damn hard!

can't go wrong for $120, they're closing them out...

 

I also highly recommend JL components. I used to run 2 10w3's and now in the interest of saving trunk space I run 1 10w7. I also run JL amps, which imo are freakin awesome. They have a self regulated power supply which lessens the need to run a capacitor in the system. The amps are pretty neat cause they will run the same power regardless of the impedance of the speakers they are hooked to.

 

i would go with a punch rockford fosgate anyday over a jl audio. these 2 are not even in the same class

 

your right they aren't in the same class JL sounds 10x better than punch subs do and the W7 hits WAY harder. A single W7 is capable of spl levels over 150 db and still sounds pretty clear. I used to have a fosgate system pushing about 2000 watts I now have a JL system pushing about 1000 and the JL system is 5 times better than the JL with half the watts.

 

get a rockford punch , thats where its at!

 

if you want something harder than his jl than is a rockford fosgate power sub. check it out at www.rockfordfosgate.com. not only do they hit better , but look way better 2!
