I just bought 1 10inch JL audio sub. Since this is a dual voice coil sub the guy at the store hooked it up in parellel. He said that now the load is 2ohms impedence. Which amp would be the best to drive this sub . Pls supply the name and model of the Amp, if possible. I am looking to spend around $250 or less.

Thanks

I just bought the JBL BP300.1 for $150 off Ebay. It is 300 watts X 1 at 2 ohm. If you think you need more power, you could get the BP600.1 for around $200. There are better amps out there, but for a budget system I think the JBL would be fine.

Max, I am pushing my 10W3 (version 1), with a JL Audio 250/1. I am not sure about the v2's, but mine is rated at 250 watts RMS, so it is matched perfectly. I actually don't even have the amp turned up all the way, just over half way on the gains and man, that thing pounds. I paid $270 for mine, and no, not online,,,I bought it locally. So, if you shop around, you might find one.

Good Luck!!! DMAN

Thanks guys,

I ended up going with an Alpine MDR300. It is suppose to be 300 watts RMS in 2 ohms. I saw it at a local stereo place for $329 but I am getting it over the Net for $210.

I just received it today and planning on installing it in over the weekend.

Sweet, I am a big fan of Alpine, and that's not a bad price either. I use an Alpine 4-channel for my mids and highs, and have heard pretty good things about there sub amps sending pretty clean signals. Hope it works for you, I bet it will, with 300 watts pushing one 10" JL sub,,,,you're gonna rock (or should i say Boom!...hehe).

Let us know how it works out when you get it in....
